The Role of a CFO in a Family Office
In a family office, the Chief Financial Officer (CFO) acts as the financial backbone, ensuring that the family’s wealth and businesses are managed with clarity, discipline, and long-term vision. The CFO doesn’t just handle numbers—they shape the governance framework that protects the family’s assets and supports growth across generations.
