A family office platform is a dedicated wealth management structure that helps high-net-worth families oversee and grow their assets across generations. It typically coordinates investment strategy and portfolio management alongside services such as tax planning, estate and succession planning, philanthropy, risk management, and lifestyle administration. Whether set up for a single family or multiple families, the platform is designed to provide consolidated reporting, governance, and access to tailored opportunities, aligning financial decisions with the family's long-term goals and values.
This 10-year Family Office Platform financial model is designed to evaluate the economics, scalability, and long-term sustainability of a multi-service wealth management organization. It forecasts profitability and scalability by linking assets under advisement/management, client mix, and service adoption to revenue streams such as advisory and AUM fees, retainer-based services, and pass-through administrative charges. The model also captures the full cost structure—investment team, operations, technology, compliance, and overhead—producing integrated financial statements, cash flow, and profitability metrics. With scenarios and sensitivities, it enables decision-makers to test pricing, hiring plans, break-even AUM, and expansion strategies across different market and client acquisition assumptions.
The model includes assumptions and calculations of Startup Costs, Platform Clients (new clients acqusition, churn rates), Assets Under Management (AUM per client, additional cash inflows and outflows, market return), Revenue (Retainer, Subscription and Setup Fees, AUM Management Fee, Add-on Services fees), Payroll, Variable and Fixed Operating Expenses, Fixed Assets & Depreciation, Financing through Debt & Equity and Exit Valuation assumptions in case of a potential sale of the business.
The model follows Financial Modeling Best Practices principles and is fully customizable.
Detailed instructions for the functionality of the model are included in the Excel file.
