WE HELP FAMILIES-IN-BUSINESS NAVIGATE THE COMPLEXITIES OF MULTI-GENERATIONAL FINANCIAL AFFAIRS. 

Our Guiding Principles

  • Build Relationships, Work In Partnership.

    Build relationships to create trust and longevity with our clients and strategic partners so that we can work together to support the achievement of their family and business goals.

  • Nurture Balance.

    Value, seek and promote balance for enduring success and peace of mind – whether in work versus life, business versus family, or financial risk versus security.

  • Be Generous Of Spirit.

    Give back every day. Be generous with your resources. Support the people and organizations that you believe in.

  • Impact Generations.

    Ensure that the decisions we make and advice we give are strategically aligned to make an impact that lasts for generations.

    As the owner of a successful family enterprise, you’ve invested years in nurturing a legacy that has the potential to succeed for generations. Unfortunately, the odds of it surviving its next succession are not in your favour.

    Family and business are complex ecosystems each made of up unique dynamics, personalities, time-lines, needs and desires. Put the two together and differences of opinion, disparate needs and unexpected life circumstances can cause things to go off the rails – threatening the well-being of your family, business and wealth.

    As a trusted partner to families-in-business, we have seen the difference advice can make. Poor advice often results in misguided decisions, lack of support and an inadequate succession plan. On the other hand, sound guidance – including intergenerational support, governance and the right succession plan – allows companies to survive, leaders to thrive and families to achieve harmony. This is exactly what we provide at Legacy Family Office.
