Key Family Wealth
What Is a Family Office?
A family office manages the overall financial, business, and philanthropic activities of one or more generations of a particular family. Family office responsibilities typically vary based on the family’s needs but entail several key functions of family wealth management, including accounting functions, tax planning and compliance, investment management and reporting, fiduciary management, family governance, philanthropy support, property and aircraft management, business consulting and succession planning services, as well as other banking and fiscal duties.

Families who sustain generational wealth have a clearly articulated family vision and have identified values that serve as the foundation for how younger members view the purpose of family wealth.
Understanding starts with education, and all generations play a role in the successful management and continuation of a family’s wealth. No matter what their age, heirs need preparation in order to effectively contribute to the family mission. An important element of preparing your children for their future is a solid understanding of basic financial concepts.
Key Family Wealth provides the tools and services to educate your family members and future generations on the fundamentals of banking, investments, and trusts. Interactive personal finance courses are offered at appropriate levels for all ages in the family, from grade school and high school through college and adulthood.
Family foundations are important in building a stronger family with a unified vision. Through a private foundation, families can give back and help the people, institutions, and communities they care about. Family foundations often serve as the glue that holds together geographically dispersed family members and creates a forum where different generations can work together toward common goals. Key Family Wealth has aligned with an industry leader of foundation services to provide a fully integrated, turnkey solution to private foundations.
Simplify by using Key Family Wealth as your family’s chief financial officer. We provide office services such as general bookkeeping, bill payments, cash management, fixed-asset management, and basis management. We also offer full payroll services as well as individual business or fiduciary tax services and tax projections.
Over decades serving the unique needs of large and complex families, we’ve built our network to include experts in personal security, concierge healthcare, full-service aviation consulting, and household staffing services.
