Supporting every step of your family office recruitment journey
Australia’s family office landscape is expanding quickly, shaped by intergenerational wealth transfer, diversified investment strategies and a strong focus on governance. Many offices operate with lean teams, so every hire needs to bring technical ability, cultural fit and long term alignment.
Diverse pool of family office talent
Australia’s family offices often look for international perspectives alongside local market insight. Using our global network, we source portfolio managers, legal specialists and investment professionals who bring varied experience and can support both domestic and offshore strategies.
Industry knowledge in wealth management
Australian family offices face their own mix of tax, regulatory and succession requirements. Our recruiters understand these dynamics and match you with private wealth professionals who can manage complex structures and work closely with principals.
Efficient family office hiring solutions
Most Australian family offices value speed, discretion and cultural alignment. We streamline the hiring process, focusing on candidates who fit your long term vision and can integrate into small, high trust environments.
