Wealth without a why is just capital

The Family CFO for Entrepreneurial Families Building Multigenerational Wealth

Serving a select number of families as true partners—not just clients—in preserving entrepreneurial culture and purpose across generations

Why 90% of Families Lose Their Wealth by the Third Generation

Lack of Purpose

Wealth created with entrepreneurial vision often loses its meaning and direction in subsequent generations.

Ad hoc Strategy

Multiple professionals competing for attention rather than coordinating for the family's holistic strategic benefit.

Poor Execution

Critical decisions delayed or mismanaged due to lack of operational discipline and coordinated implementation.

Compliance Gaps

Regulatory requirements, tax obligations, and governance structures overlooked or inadequately maintained across generations.

Telos Private Office exists to break this cycle

We preserve the entrepreneurial culture and purpose that created the wealth in the first place—ensuring your family's story continues with intention for 100 years, not just one generation.

We're not maximizing returns—we're maximizing purpose alignment across generations.

"57% of family offices now cite governance and decision-making frameworks as a top priority, ranking ahead of returns alone."

— Bank of America, 2025 Family Office Study

"70% of family offices cite preparing the next generation and succession planning as a key concern and key objective of their family office."

A Partnership Model—By Design

We are not building a client roster. We are building a partnership with a core group of families.

Each partner family becomes a true partner with shared economics in Telos Private Office, participating in the firm's success beyond profit sharing and voting rights on our strategic decisions.

This isn't a traditional client relationship. You become an owner-partner in the firm serving your family.

A select number of families with shared economics and a 100 year vision.

Build for 100

Are You a Partner Family?
