Hire a Family Office PA

Family Office PA Overview

A Family Office PA operates at the highest level of personal and professional support, managing the intricate affairs of high-net-worth families with absolute discretion and sophisticated judgement.

Unlike traditional corporate PAs, they navigate a unique world where business interests intersect with family dynamics, requiring someone who can seamlessly manage everything from complex financial coordination and property oversight to sensitive family matters and confidential communications.

The best Family Office PAs understand that they’re not just supporting individuals – they’re helping preserve and enhance family legacies. They anticipate needs, solve complex problems discreetly, maintain impeccable standards, and create the invisible infrastructure that allows high-net-worth families to focus on what matters most, knowing their affairs are in exceptionally capable hands.

When to Consider Hiring a Family Office PA

If your Family Office is managing increasingly complex affairs across multiple family members, properties, or business interests, and coordination is becoming challenging, it’s time to consider a Family Office PA.

Perhaps you’re currently relying on multiple assistants without central coordination, family members need more sophisticated support than a traditional PA provides, or you need someone who can navigate both business and personal matters with equal expertise and absolute discretion.

The right Family Office PA doesn’t just provide administrative support – they become the trusted professional who understands your family’s unique dynamics, values and requirements. Whether you need someone to coordinate between family members and advisors, manage complex logistics across multiple locations, handle confidential matters with unquestionable integrity, or simply ensure that family office operations run with the sophistication and discretion your family expects, a skilled Family Office PA provides the calibre of support that sophisticated family enterprises require.

Frequently Asked Question

Do Family Office PAs need specific qualifications?

Whilst formal qualifications are valued, proven experience in high-net-worth environments, impeccable references, and demonstrated discretion are often more important than certificates. Many exceptional Family Office PAs have backgrounds in corporate EA roles, hospitality management, or private household service, with the sophistication and judgement that comes from years of experience in demanding, confidential environments.

How much does a Family Office PA earn?

Family Office PA compensation varies significantly based on family complexity, scope of responsibilities, experience level, and location. These roles typically command premium salaries reflecting the sophistication, discretion, and expertise required. We provide confidential market benchmarking as part of our service, ensuring you’re competitive while understanding current compensation expectations for this calibre of professional.

What’s the difference between a Family Office PA and a Private PA?

While the roles often overlap, a Family Office PA usually operates within a more formalised structure, supporting multiple family members and acting as a central point of coordination between advisors, staff, and external stakeholders. The role often includes exposure to business interests, governance, and long-term planning. A Private PA typically supports one principal more directly, with a stronger focus on day-to-day lifestyle management. Both roles require exceptional discretion, but the Family Office PA remit is usually broader and more complex.

What does a Family Office PA do?

A Family Office PA manages the complex personal and professional affairs of high-net-worth families. Responsibilities can include coordinating across family members, managing multiple residences, liaising with legal, financial, and investment advisors, overseeing household staff, and handling sensitive communications and matters of confidentiality. At their best, Family Office PAs bring structure, foresight, and calm to complex environments – ensuring everything runs seamlessly, quietly, and with absolute discretion.
