Family Office
Most family money is eared in one generation and lost in three. Transfer of capital with no structure can create conflict and complacency. The family office is there to provide the framework to protect and grow the family wealth.
FAMILY OFFICE SERVICES
Strategy
Establishing a Family Office is a significant start and the family must determine their expectations, priorities and scope to decide what services they need. Besides various essential services such as taxation management and administration, we provide advisory and strategy consulting, for example, structuring and asset protection, and project manage all the other services the family needs.
Asset protection
It takes patience, good management, great ideas and insights, good advisors and skills to build family wealth. Yet family wealth is so susceptible and can be attacked by bad relationships, agencies and regulators. We have proven strategies to deliver a real solution to protect your family wealth.
Family governance
Governance is a company's direction and control. Directors run companies. The board establishes strategic objectives, oversees management, and reports to shareholders on their stewardship. The board is governed by laws, regulations, and shareholder meetings. These corporate governance ideas may be applied in a family office, but they must be adapted.
Back office services
We provide back office help for the preparation of reporting that is required for compliance with various legislative, regulatory, and tax requirements.
TESTIMONIALS
Before I depart Macquarie, I want to say thank you to Better Bookkeep It for looking after our accounts. Especially, Koko has done an outstanding job, ensuring that nothing has fallen through the cracks. Her diligence and attention to detail has made the process seamless. All work was turned around quickly and it was a pleasure to work with her.

Actelion has experienced and enjoyed a great working relationship with Bates Cosgrave. They have advised on and processed all our employment related taxes for many years with ease and the utmost professionalism. This includes a commendable holistic service on the recent employee share scheme changes. I would personally recommend Bates Cosgrave.

Bates Cosgrave came highly recommended before I decided to move back to Australia, as they have the capacity to understand complex issues beyond the Australian border. From my perspective, my choice of advisor must be technically strong, personal and professional, responsive, prudent, practical, transparent and trustworthy. I am pleased that Bates Cosgrave delivers all of these as part of my relationship with them.
