Families in business

What a successful family in business looks like

At RCAdvisory the measure of a successful family in business is where family members are engaged in positive conversations; embrace transition from one generation to the next; and are excited about the future...for themselves, their family and the business.  


We are passionate about supporting families to build and sustain:

  • Strong personal relationships
  • Trust
  • Commitment to a shared purpose
  • A meaningful legacy

What we offer families and their advisors

For multi-generational families in business and family offices, it is never 'black and white'. There is a natural overlap of family dynamics with the business, the wealth and ownership. This leads to inter-related questions and issues, with a decision in one domain - say business -  having implications for the others. 


We offer families in business:

  • A holistic view of the family, business, wealth/capital.
  • Independence and objectivity to the process.
  • Different perspectives and new options to consider. 
  • Facilitation of difficult yet important conversations.


For advisors to families in business and family offices, we complement their technical/specialist areas and collaborate to deliver the most appropriate outcome specific to that family.

Examples of where we have assisted families in business

Transitioning in and transitioning out

Assisting two family branches to develop a pathway for the 'next gen' transition – over time – to more senior roles in the business and transition of the incumbent generation from hands-on CEO roles to board director and oversight roles.  

Maximising the opportunities

Following the sale and exit of an operating business, assisting the family to design and establish a family office to underpin the family's shared purpose, to build a meaningful legacy together, for current and future generations.

Reinvigorating purpose and guiding principles

Collaborating with the family and leadership of a long standing family office and foundation to reset the guiding principles, to ensure they remained true to their purpose and vision, and importantly for the foundation to endure in perpetuity.

Functional and effective participation

Governance and communication frameworks for family owners to be constructive together and make well informed decisions in the best interest of both the family and the business.

Clarity on the future

Across multiple family branches,  discussing different ownership (shareholder) options and reaching consensus on a preferred structure and a roadmap for progressive implementation.
