Family Office
Stewardship for generations.
Integrated CFO, accounting, tax, and family-office counsel for families and closely held businesses navigating complexity, continuity, and long-term wealth.
CeFO is now part of Numera. The same senior team and personal attention, supported by the capabilities of the Numera network.
Complex wealth requires coordinated judgment.
As businesses, investments, tax obligations, and family priorities become more interconnected, fragmented financial advice creates unnecessary risk. Effective stewardship begins with a unified view.
One team. One financial perspective.- Reporting does not provide a complete view of liquidity.
- Business and personal financial decisions are considered separately.
- Financing and stakeholder requirements consume senior attention.
- Tax, estate, and succession decisions lack coordinated planning.
A note from Bill Shenkin
“A family's balance sheet and a family's future are the same document. Most advisors only read one side of it.”
I've spent forty years as CFO to families and the businesses they own — closely held companies, global fitness chains, individual artists. Along the way I served as acting CFO for National Geographic's IMAX ventures and worked alongside the governor of Colorado on the financials that brought the Rockies to Denver.
The work doesn't change much: get the financial picture straight, then keep it straight through whatever comes next — growth, transition, sale, the next generation. Today I lead a senior team doing that work, with the full resources of the Numera network behind it.
