For Advisors

The Work No Single Advisor Owns

Your clients need planning, reporting and financial oversight that no single advisor is engaged to provide. We provide it, and work alongside you so it fits with what you already do.

The Way We Work

One Plan, Every Advisor

We take on the planning and oversight around your work, so each advisor’s part fits the family’s wider plan.

How We Work Alongside You

Accountants

We keep the family’s books reconciled through the year and bring you into the tax planning early. Where you prepare the returns, you receive reconciled records ready for year end.

Bookkeeping and Tax Compliance

Lawyers

We work out the financial side of estate, trust and corporate plans with the family, then give you a clear brief: who owns what, what is intended and the steps involved. Wills, trust deeds and legal opinions stay with you.

Estate Planning

Investment Advisors

We track capital calls, distributions and fund documents and reconcile our reporting to your statements, so you and the family work from the same figures. Investment decisions are the family’s, made with you.

Investment Administration

Bankers

We prepare the cash-flow information and the documents behind borrowing and guarantees from current records, clearly marked as unaudited management reporting.

Fractional CFO

Insurance Brokers

We keep the family’s policy record current (who owns each policy and who it pays) and brief you before each renewal. Coverage advice and placement stay with you.

Where We Can Help

You will know the families: proceeds from a sale sitting in a holding company, a succession that needs planning, capital calls landing in one person’s inbox. We work with those families on estate, trust, tax and succession planning, then handle the ongoing work: reporting, cash flow, and following up on each advisor’s part.
