If you’ve seen one family office, you’ve seen one that probably relies on spreadsheets.

They often have large, multi-sheet files that need to be manually updated regularly to track investment allocations, performance, cashflow and more.

And when someone needs a portfolio update or insights into current positions, a manual report needs to be created.

The Problem With Spreadsheets in Family Offices

Risks of Outdated Systems

Aside from the time inefficiencies this setup involves, there are many risks: manual data-entry is prone to errors, and spreadsheets are vulnerable to cybersecurity risks that increase every year.

Then there is key-man risk, since these layered worksheets are often solely controlled and understood by a long-serving team member.

And of course, getting an update across all investments in real-time is impossible with this spreadsheet-based structure.

The Changing Nature of Wealth

It worked fine for years, when family offices mostly invested in stocks and bonds and some real estate - but modern families have changed their approach.

They are allocating up to half of their portfolio in alternative assets that are harder to track manually.

And the next generation of principals are not satisfied with a PDF overview of their estate sent via email once a quarter.
