Family office services

Bringing clarity and confidence to family office and tax advisory services.

Managing substantial family wealth comes with unique challenges and opportunities. It often requires a blend of specialised professional services, from family office structuring and governance to tax advice, succession planning, accounting, professional trustee services, legal advice, investment management, and philanthropy. At Bates Weston, we bring these elements together seamlessly, ensuring your family’s wealth is managed with care, clarity, and long-term focus.

Our approach is built on strong relationships and tailored solutions. We know that wealthy families value trusted, long-term partnerships with their advisors, and we’ve designed our services with this in mind. 

A bespoke service for every family

Whether your wealth has grown over generations or stems from the recent sale of a business, we work closely with you to understand your family’s unique circumstances and aspirations. For families new to managing substantial wealth, we can guide you through the “what’s next” phase, helping to develop and implement a comprehensive wealth management strategy. From establishing a family office to creating a robust financial plan, we’ll ensure your family’s legacy is secure.

Our tax specialists provide expert advice on all tax-related matters, collaborating with financial advisors and legal professionals to offer a seamless, one-stop solution. For families seeking a more formal structure, we can assist in drafting Family Constitutions, ensuring your longer-term objectives are clearly communicated and effectively implemented.
