Family office bookkeeping
Finbryn keeps monthly books across the personal, trust and entity accounts a family office oversees, on one consistent chart of accounts, reconciled every period, and consolidated into a single reporting package the family's attorney, tax preparer and financial advisor can use directly without reworking it first.
What is included
- A master chart of accounts applied consistently across every personal, trust and entity ledger
- Monthly bank, brokerage and card reconciliations for every account under the family office's oversight
- A consolidated statement showing net worth movement and cash position across the whole structure
- Entity-level profit and loss and balance sheet reports for each trust, LLC and investment vehicle
- A tax-ready reporting package formatted for the family's tax preparer ahead of K-1 season
- A structure summary formatted for the family's attorney showing ownership and entity relationships
- A liquidity and cash-flow view formatted for the family's financial advisor
- Documentation of the chart of accounts mapping and reconciliation process for each entity
The process
- 1.
Map the family office structure
We inventory every personal, trust and entity account under the family office's oversight and confirm who owns, controls and receives reporting on each one.
- 2.
Build the master chart of accounts
A single chart of accounts is designed across every entity, with entity-specific sub-accounts only where the structure genuinely requires them.
- 3.
Migrate or open each entity's ledger
Existing QuickBooks, Xero or NetSuite files are remapped to the master chart, or a new ledger is opened for any entity that has none.
- 4.
Reconcile every account on a set schedule
Bank, brokerage and card accounts are reconciled to statements each period, on the same monthly cadence across the whole family office footprint.
- 5.
Produce the consolidated statement
A single consolidated view rolls every entity and trust into one report, alongside entity-level detail for whoever needs to see it separately.
- 6.
Distribute formatted reports to each advisor
The attorney, tax preparer and financial advisor each receive a version of the reporting built to what they specifically use it for.
- 7.
Review and adjust the cadence quarterly
We check in with the family office's named point of contact each quarter to confirm the reporting still matches what the family and its advisors need.
Software
QuickBooks Online, Xero, NetSuite, Excel, Google Sheets, Addepar
Pricing
Family office bookkeeping is scoped as a multi-entity engagement rather than a single tier, since the entity count and the reporting each advisor needs both drive the work. Most family offices land in the Scale tier's custom-quote path; see current published tiers and how Scale is priced at /us/pricing.
