Supporting every step of your family office recruitment journey
Diverse pool of family office talent
Canadian family offices often manage a mix of operating companies, real estate, cross-border investments and legacy assets, so they look for professionals with broad, versatile experience. Through our global network, we source portfolio managers, legal specialists and investment officers who bring both local knowledge and international perspective. This helps Canadian family offices find talent that can support multi-asset portfolios and long-term strategic goals.
Industry knowledge in wealth management
Canada’s environment combines complex wealth structures, strong regulatory oversight and a rising focus on intergenerational transitions. Our recruiters understand these dynamics and focus on candidates who can manage family governance, succession planning, multi-entity organisation and long-term investment strategy. This ensures your hires have the technical capability and judgment needed to operate in a high-trust setting.
Efficient family office hiring solutions
Canadian family offices usually operate with lean teams, so every hire matters. We streamline your hiring process to save time and reduce risk, targeting professionals who fit your culture and can handle both strategic and hands-on responsibilities. This is especially important in Canada, where the pool of experienced family office specialists remains limited.
Long-term partnerships
We build enduring relationships with Canadian family offices by understanding your goals across investment management, succession planning and governance. As your needs evolve, we stay aligned with your strategy, helping you secure the right people to manage complex portfolios, support family priorities and preserve wealth across generations.
