You owe it to yourself to get it right.

Imagine having a Chief Financial Officer for yourself and your family. In the same way that a CFO coordinates the financial affairs of a corporation, many successful individuals and families are responsible for an increasingly complex landscape of financial affairs such as tax planning, education funding, estate management, investment portfolios, and budget oversight.

Our Family CFOs provide personalized, confidential, and conflict-free oversight to simplify the day-to-day financial operations for you and your family. We dig into the details to offer insight on trends and anomalies with the sole purpose of protecting your financial interests and providing stability to future-proof your family’s financial operations. Our goal is to deliver financial peace of mind.

“I started working with Tara after struggling for years to keep track of how my various investments were doing… real estate, equity income, and others. I needed regular updates and monthly reports — and receiving accurate information was very important.
