A different solution

A personalised approach to Private Wealth Management.

Many successful individuals reach a point where their financial affairs become more complex than any single adviser was built to handle. Investments, tax, pensions, estate planning and trusts all start to need coordination.

Most wealth managers focus on the investment portfolio. We take a wider view. As the regulated conductor of your financial affairs, we join up the advice across everything you own, not just the part we manage.

This is what a family office does: coordinated advice designed to protect, grow and structure your wealth for the generations that follow, with one trusted point of contact sitting at the centre of it all.

Who we work with

Built for coordinated wealth.

Our family office service

One firm, the whole picture.

A major benefit of our service: we do not require you to move all your investments under our management. We work with what you have and coordinate the rest.

Strategic wealth planning

Using our 3Ls framework we structure your wealth across the short, medium and long term, aligned to your objectives. We do not require you to move every investment under our management.

Tax-efficient structure

We coordinate with your accountant and tax specialists to keep the whole arrangement as efficient as it can be, wrapper by wrapper.

Family Investment Company

Where it fits, we help form and run a Family Investment Company (FIC) to hold and manage your family’s wealth.

Estate & succession planning

Planning ahead so wealth passes to the next generation in the most efficient way, with control kept in the right hands.

Coordination of specialists

We work with accountants, solicitors, banks, FX brokers and fund managers so your strategy is fully integrated, with one point of contact at the centre.

Family Investment Companies

A FIC, structured and managed around your family.

A Family Investment Company can be an efficient way to hold, grow and pass on family wealth, with control kept in the right hands and tax considered at every step. Setting one up well takes an accountant, a solicitor and an adviser working from the same plan.

We sit at the centre of that. We help design the structure, coordinate its formation with your accountant and legal advisers, and manage the investments inside it as part of your wider wealth strategy, so a FIC is not a standalone project but one coordinated piece of the whole.

Why a boutique firm

Small by design. Alongside, not against.

We have deliberately stayed small and director-led. Where large institutions optimise for scale, we optimise for attention: every relationship handled with care, consistency and direct access to the people making the decisions.

As an independent firm, directly authorised and regulated by the Financial Conduct Authority, our recommendations are free from outside influence. And because we work alongside your existing bank, accountant and solicitor rather than in competition with them, you keep the relationships you value while gaining a single point of coordination at the centre.

We will know you by name, understand your circumstances, and build a long-term relationship based on trust, clarity and continuity.

Common questions

Good to know.

What is a private wealth adviser?

A private wealth adviser gives strategic advice to individuals and families with significant assets, coordinating investments, tax, estate planning and long-term strategy in one place.

What is a family office?

A family office manages the financial affairs of wealthy families, coordinating investments, tax and professional advisers. Our service offers many of the same benefits, tailored to families with £1M or more in assets.

What is a multi-family office?

A multi-family office provides those services to several families rather than one. Our approach uses the same principles: coordinated advice, long-term planning and oversight of your wider affairs.

Do you advise on Family Investment Companies (FICs)?

Yes. We regularly work with accountants and legal advisers to help clients structure and manage FICs as part of a long-term wealth strategy.
