Family Office Services

A sustainable solution for the long-term management, preservation and growth of your family's wealth.

The role of Family Offices today

Over the last few years, the number of Family Offices has increased significantly and so has their level of importance. The world around us is changing. It’s for this very reason that the Family Office is assigned an important task: to develop a long-term strategy for managing the assets and affairs of wealthy families around the world, with the focus on a lasting legacy. 

PwC Switzerland has gained a profound know-how with decades of experience from working with and advising many Family Offices particularly due to the attractiveness of Switzerland as a Family Office location. Together with our global network we offer you a central point of contact for your Family Office to help you preserve your wealth for current and future generations across the globe.
