What is a Virtual Family Office (VFO)?
It’s a way for ultra-high-net-worth (UHNW) individuals and families to manage their investments and assets while optimizing personal services from personal staff and outside advisors. An effective VFO needs a skilled coordinator - too often the family head, who prefers to focus on other matters.
A VFO operated by a fractional executive can be appealing for clients who want to avoid the hassle or switching costs associated with single or multi-family offices but still need organized solutions for their estate and leadership support for personal needs.
What’s a fractional Chief of Staff?
A Chief of Staff (CoS) is your trusted advisor and operator — supporting both family and business matters. More than a strategist, your CoS is a problem-solver: connecting the right people, resolving friction points, and executing with discipline. They bring order, process, and strategic insight to investments, projects, and family operations, while coordinating your internal staff and external advisors.
For many ultra-high-net-worth families, a full-time executive can be overbuilt, costly, or simply unnecessary. Project Syntropy offers retained leadership through a flexible, contract-based model — giving you access to experienced family office execution without the burden of a dedicated executive hire.
Can Project Syntropy help me?
It’s not complicated. You have a list — challenges, priorities, ambitions — born of wealth you’ve earned or inherited. Some require decisive action. Others demand steady, disciplined oversight.
Which of your current advisors can plan, coordinate, and execute across that full list — today?
If you don’t have a clear answer, we may be the right fit.
Building trust takes time, so let’s talk.
