“I’m a big believer that high maintenance is not a negative word,” says Skye Young, Managing Director for Parere Advisory. “As your wealth increases, it is just the reality that the complexity of your life increases, as well.”

Skye has spent the past two decades working in family offices, and she understands that managing complexity takes the right structure. Today, she works alongside Janet Arzt, Founder and Managing Partner of Parere, to advise family offices on infrastructure, development and strategy.

One of the common challenges they see across the families they support is navigating the generational wealth transfer. In this episode of the Easemakers Podcast, Skye and Janet explore how complexity evolves as families grow, and share their advice for creating structure and systems to ease the transition.

Tune in to hear:

  • How to keep growing families and ever-evolving family office teams on the same page
  • The impact of wealth transfer on estate operations, household staff and more
  • What to keep in mind when working with multiple generations and family members
