When your wealth reaches a certain level, “free time” becomes a misnomer. You have properties, businesses, investments, philanthropic commitments, family gatherings, and the quiet, unseen work of keeping it all in motion. The more you have, the more orchestration is required.
And while you may have a trusted investment advisor, a skilled CPA, an estate attorney, and a family banker — they don’t operate as one. You are the conductor, sending the cues, forwarding the emails, remembering who said what and who’s waiting for which signature.
It’s not that the work is unpleasant; it’s that your time and attention could be spent on more meaningful things.
This is where the Fractional Family Office President steps in.
The Modern Answer to a Century-Old Model
For decades, ultra-high-net-worth families have had single family offices — full in-house teams managing investments, taxes, estate planning, family governance, and lifestyle requests. They were the private capitals of private wealth. But they came with a steep cost — often $1 million or more annually to operate.
Today, the fractional model brings the same sophistication and leadership without the infrastructure burden. You retain your existing professionals. We integrate them into one coordinated whole.
The Fractional Family Office President becomes your single point of contact — ensuring tax planning is in sync with investment strategy, estate documents match your asset titling, insurance is current, philanthropy is managed with precision, and major projects are executed seamlessly.
What This Looks Like in Real Life
It’s February, and tax season looms. We’re ensuring your CPA has every document and that investment activity is reconciled with your tax plan.
It’s July, and you’ve decided to purchase a second home. We’re coordinating with your attorney on contracts, your banker on financing, your CPA on deductions, and your insurance specialist on coverage.
It’s November, and your family foundation is making year-end grants. We’re liaising with your philanthropic consultant, ensuring compliance and alignment with your charitable goals.
And throughout the year, we’re at the table with your investment managers — not to replace them, but to ensure every decision is in context with the whole picture.
The Quiet Benefits You’ll Notice
One relationship. No repeating yourself across three different meetings.
Total alignment. Every advisor is working from the same playbook.
Time back. We become the middle layer so you don’t have to be.
Continuity. You can change any individual professional without disrupting the whole.
