ParkHaven — Family Office Wealth Planning
Multi-Family Office

A family office, without building one alone

The coordination, oversight, and personal service of a dedicated family office, delivered by one team and shared efficiently across families.

As wealth grows, the work often expands beyond investment management. Families may need help coordinating entities, professionals, reporting, family communication, philanthropy, and long-term decision-making. ParkHaven's multi-family office model is designed to bring that work into a more organized structure.

The Operation of Wealth

When wealth becomes an operation.

Significant wealth often creates ongoing administrative, planning, investment, family, and reporting needs that require structure and coordination. What begins as an investment relationship gradually asks for more — a single team, a shared picture, and a rhythm the family can rely on.

Coordination

Six areas of ongoing coordination.

The multi-family office relationship is organized around the work that most often needs a single, accountable point of coordination.

Investment oversight

A disciplined view of what is owned, why it is owned, where risk sits, and how portfolio decisions support the broader plan.

Planning coordination

A framework that keeps entities, documents, and financial choices aligned with the family's stated intent over time.

Family communication

Clear language, prepared materials, and a rhythm of conversation that keeps the family aligned across generations.

Philanthropic planning

Giving organized around purpose — the vehicles, the timing, and a roadmap the family can carry forward together.

Professional partner coordination

Working alongside outside attorneys, accountants, insurance specialists, and other advisors so their counsel translates into decisions.

Reporting and organization

A single, coherent picture of the family balance sheet — the moving parts, the calendar, and what needs attention next.

Who This Model Fits

Where the multi-family office relationship earns its place.

01

Families with multiple entities

Trusts, partnerships, operating businesses, and investment vehicles that require a coordinated view rather than parallel silos.

02

Families preparing for transition

Approaching a liquidity event, a generational handoff, or a change in leadership that will reshape how decisions are made.

03

Families coordinating many advisors

Multiple attorneys, accountants, and specialists whose work is stronger when it is organized around a shared financial picture.

04

Families seeking family-office-like support

Wanting the coordination, discretion, and personal attention of a dedicated office without building and staffing one alone.

Comparison

Three models, side by side.

Every family will weigh these tradeoffs differently. The right answer depends on complexity, scale, and how the family prefers to work.

Traditional

Traditional wealth management

A trusted advisor focused primarily on the investment portfolio and adjacent planning conversations.

  • Portfolio-centric relationship
  • Planning coordinated with outside professionals as needed
  • Well suited to less complex balance sheets
ParkHaven Model

ParkHaven multi-family office

  • Structure and rhythm designed for complexity
  • Shared infrastructure across a small group of families
Standalone

An office built and staffed exclusively for one family, funded and directed entirely by that family.

  • Full exclusivity and control
  • Requires meaningful scale to support the cost
  • Ongoing responsibility to recruit and retain the team

Common questions about the multi-family office model

A multi-family office brings the coordination, reporting, and personal attention of a private family office to a small group of families, rather than a single one. Each family receives integrated investment work, planning coordination, and professional-partner alignment without building and staffing an office of its own.

A financial advisor typically focuses on a portfolio. A multi-family office is organized around the whole system that surrounds the portfolio — entities, documents, deadlines, outside professionals, family communication, and reporting — with a single team helping keep those moving parts aligned.

Fees and engagement terms are reviewed clearly before a relationship begins.

No. Your existing attorneys, accountants, and other professional advisors remain in their roles. Our work is to coordinate around them — sharing context, aligning timing, and keeping the financial picture consistent across the people who serve it.

Common signals include: financial administration is consuming meaningful family time, no single relationship has the whole picture, a transition or liquidity event has multiplied the moving parts, or the next generation is entering the picture and the plan has not yet been written down.

Family information is handled with discretion and shared only as appropriate to support the work, consistent with client authorizations and applicable requirements.
