A single-family office consists of a dedicated team of professionals who provide comprehensive services to a single family. In contrast to multifamily offices that cater to multiple families, a family office delivers personalized attention and custom solutions to address the distinct needs of a particular family.

Talent Acquisition and Retention
Hiring the right talent is a crucial aspect of a successful family office. It is essential to attract and retain effective talent to create a positive work culture, maintain high morale and retention, and adapt to evolving family needs and dynamics.
The size of family office staff can vary widely, from just a couple of individuals to over 100, depending on the family’s size, the services offered, and the financial holdings and activity.
The most common leadership positions in family offices include Chief Executive Officer (CEO), Chief Financial Officer (CFO), and Chief Investment Officer (CIO). Additionally, many family offices have started including a Chief Technology Officer (CTO) due to technology’s increasing role and integration.
As family offices’ business needs have evolved over time, so have the expectations of new generations of employees. Family members and office employers must acknowledge these changes and consider how to adapt to attract and retain talent.
