This is practical and complete template for family office governance. The delegation of authority is well structured, and the job descriptions are an added bonus for us. We made some changes to some of the financial values in the delegation of authority and changed some of the job titles in the organizational structure, but overall, it’s a great template to start with.

My team and i spent a full week brainstorming our family office needs and honestly this template made it so much easier to finally get started. Recommend for anyone feeling overwhelmed by the setup..

To be honest, our private office was turning into a total disaster zone. Between the daily mess and having guests over every month, things were just falling through the cracks, so the head of the family finally told me I had to get a grip on it. I started looking into professional consulting firms to help us get some structure, but the quotes they sent over were honestly ridiculous. I knew we needed a better way to handle delegation and the day-to-day stuff, but I just couldn't justify spending that kind of money.
Then I found this template, and it’s been a complete game-changer. I was actually pretty shocked that it covered almost everything the expensive consultants were talking about, but for a tiny fraction of the price. I don’t know if it’s just a really well-made template or what, but it works. We’ve finally implemented it, and the difference is night and day everything is actually running smoothly now, and I’m just really relieved we found it..

The structure is solid and the templates are a great starting point. The best part for us was the section on time management for our principal because that's something we’ve really wrestled with lately. It covers everything from daily agendas to the five golden rules. We had to tweak the mandate and governance parts to fit our setup, but it’s a really useful resource for any family office.
