Scenario
A family ready to run its own finances
The outside bookkeeper has served the family well, but the work has outgrown the arrangement.
- The situation
- The family's accounts are kept by an outside bookkeeper, and its tax papers are pulled together in a rush each year. The family wants its own people doing this work and does not know where to begin.
- What we would do
- We begin with a finance clean-up as a single project. A named CFO then supervises the family's new staff and reports to the family council, working alongside the accountants and tax advisers the family already has.
- Where it leaves the family
- The family's own staff now do the work, under a CFO who answers to the family council.
