The family office is a strategic vehicle for enterprising families to achieve their important goals, from wealth building, to family talent development, to social impact, and family unity, among others. However, many family offices perform sub-optimally, do not understand their role or their potential role in the family enterprise, and never survive the founder to become multigenerational entities.

CFEG assists families and family offices to design, setup and strengthen their family office and determine its appropriate role in the system.
