Single-Family Offices A single-family office serves just one family and provides them with a dedicated service. This will include all aspects of financial management such as investment advice, budgeting,
tax services, charitable giving, wealth transfer, insurance, and business advice. This type of family office may also provide non-financial services such as advice on or assistance with travel arrangements, private schooling, or other household arrangements.
Multi-family offices provide the same range of financial services as singlefamily offices but will have more than one family as clients.
