Your Washington, DC Business Services CPAs
A family business can be very different from other businesses. Its purpose, goals, and operations are unique to the family. And a family business will face unique challenges that traditional businesses do not. Planning for these challenges can ensure the long-term sustainability of both the business and the family.
Some family businesses and families become so intertwined that they require the formation of a family office. A family office provides formalized support services to the business and family members. A family office has three main functions:
- To formally manage the family’s wealth that lies outside the operating business (including developing an investment strategy, investment reporting, and cash management)
- To provide formalized support services to family members, including tax preparation, financial, estate and insurance planning, accounting and bill pay, advising on and administering philanthropic endeavors, managing outside service providers, and managing non-portfolio assets such as real estate, boats, planes, and cars
- To establish and maintain governance structures and processes that ensure both the business and family continue to thrive for generations to come
At DeBlanc, Murphy, and Murphy, we can help you:
- Set up, build out, and manage your family office
- Provide accounting, planning, and reporting
- Develop intentionally structured governance that enables you to make great decisions for both your business and your family
