How we work

From the first conversation to every review.

What happens when you engage us, the principles we hold ourselves to, and how fees and conflicts are disclosed.

An engagement, step by step

Five steps, agreed in writing before any work starts.

  1. Introduction

    A private conversation with our founder about your family's priorities. It carries no obligation.

  2. Discover

    Map the balance sheet, entities, goals and existing advisers.

  3. Proposal

    A written proposal setting out scope, the people on your family, fees, conflicts and the licensed partners involved.

  4. Onboarding

    Access will be set up read-only first, approval thresholds agreed with the family, and reporting started.

  5. Oversee

    Monitor, rebalance and report each quarter to the family council.
