What is a Family Office Staff?
Family Office Staff Job Description
Private family office are usually responsible for the management of all administrative duties relating to their clients and their client's families.
This generally includes managing bank/supplier relations, all correspondence, and household staff contracts and performance across the client's property portfolio.
The office is also expected to handle accounting and expenditure, including household staff salaries and payable taxes on all properties, staff, vehicles etc...
It is not unusual for one member of the family office to be made responsible purely for the client's financial duties, although this is not always the case.
Generally, clients will be extremely busy, high profile individuals such as celebrities, HNW and UHNW, or members of royal families. Private office staff are expected, therefore, to show absolute discretion in the management of their clients' private affairs.
