Family Office & Multi-Family Office Staff

The Wellington Agency can recruit for positions including:

Family Office Accountants

Family Office Accountants help manage the complex accounting and financial reporting requirements associated with private family wealth, business interests, properties, and other family office activities.

Family Office Managers

Human Resources Professionals

Human Resources professionals can support recruiting, employee relations, policies, compensation administration, onboarding, and other personnel matters across the family office and its staff.

Specialized Family Office Roles

The complexity of significant private wealth often creates staffing needs that extend beyond traditional executive, financial, and administrative positions.

Depending upon the family’s assets, investments, collections, properties, and interests, The Wellington Agency can recruit specialized professionals such as:

• Real Estate Advisors
• Private Equity Specialists
• Art Advisors
• Other specialized family office professionals

These positions require not only expertise in their respective fields, but also an understanding of the privacy, discretion, responsiveness, and personal service expected when working directly with UHNW individuals and families.

Family Office Assistants & Administrative Support

Behind every successful family office is an exceptional support structure.

Wellington recruits experienced professionals capable of managing demanding schedules, confidential communications, travel, meetings, projects, correspondence, office administration, and the countless details surrounding principals and senior executives.

Positions may include:

Executive Assistants

Executive Assistants provide high-level administrative and organizational support for principals and family office executives, coordinating calendars, meetings, confidential communications, travel, and complex professional responsibilities.

Personal Assistants

Personal Assistants help manage the intersection between a principal’s professional responsibilities and personal life, coordinating schedules, travel, appointments, residences, vendors, events, and lifestyle requirements.

Family Office Assistants & Office Support

Family Office Assistants and administrative support professionals help maintain organization and continuity across the office while supporting executives, principals, advisors, and other members of the family office team.

Connecting the Family Office and the Private Household

For many UHNW families, the family office and private household are closely interconnected.

Business responsibilities, investments, multiple residences, travel, security, household operations, family schedules, and personal interests frequently overlap. Successful support therefore requires professionals who can communicate and coordinate across both environments while maintaining appropriate boundaries and strict confidentiality.

This is an area where The Wellington Agency’s extensive experience in private household staffing provides an important advantage.

In addition to family office professionals, Wellington recruits Estate Managers, Housekeepers, Butlers, Private Chefs, Domestic Couples, childcare professionals, Security & Protection professionals, and other domestic staff required to support sophisticated private residences.

Supporting Complex Family Interests

The right family office staff brings structure and expertise to an environment where responsibilities can span generations, businesses, investments, properties, collections, and personal affairs.

Depending on the position, family office professionals may be responsible for:

• Executive leadership and operational oversight
• Financial management and accounting
• Investment oversight and coordination
• Legal and compliance responsibilities
• Human resources and personnel management
• Managing confidential information
• Supporting family principals and senior executives
• Coordinating multiple residences and properties
• Communicating with professional advisors
• Managing complex calendars and travel
• Overseeing specialized family interests and assets
• Coordinating family office and household teams

Every search begins with understanding not simply the position, but how that position fits within the family’s broader organization.

Staffing for Multi-Family Offices

Multi-family offices present additional staffing considerations.

Professionals may support several families or principals while maintaining strict confidentiality, appropriate professional boundaries, exceptional organization, and consistently high service standards.

The Wellington Agency understands the importance of identifying candidates who possess the expertise required for their position as well as the adaptability, judgment, interpersonal skills, and discretion necessary to succeed within a sophisticated multi-family office environment.

Every search is customized to the responsibilities of the position, the organization it will support, and the culture and expectations of the families being served.

A Thoughtful and Confidential Recruitment Process

Recruiting for a family office requires considerably more than identifying an impressive resume.

Technical qualifications and relevant experience are essential, particularly for senior executive and specialized positions. But successful family office professionals must also possess sound judgment, discretion, adaptability, professionalism, and the ability to work effectively within highly confidential environments.

The Wellington Agency takes the time to understand the requirements of each position before beginning a search. Candidates undergo comprehensive interviews, reference verification, background screening, and careful evaluation of their professional experience and compatibility with the organization.

Our objective is not simply to fill a vacancy. It is to identify exceptional professionals capable of becoming trusted, long-term members of the family’s professional and personal support structure.
