What is a Virtual Family Office?
A Virtual Family Office (VFO) is a modern and cost-effective approach to family office services, leveraging technology to provide comprehensive financial planning, tax planning, wealth management, business advisory and risk mitigation solutions to high-net-worth individuals and business owners without the large overhead cost of a dedicated family office.
Unlike traditional family offices, a Virtual Family Office provides services to anyone - not just one family, making high-impact wealth building strategies accessible to nearly all of your high net worth clients who have been waiting for a holistic wealth building advisor.
Elite's Virtual Family Office, created in 2014, is the most established and transparent in the industry. The Elite VFO also allow you to share in any revenue generated from services provided to your clients.
