Multi-Family Office

Experience bespoke financial planning services designed specifically for ultra-high-net-worth families, guided by our trusted multi-family office advisors. Effective financial planning for affluent families necessitates seamless collaboration among advisors, attorneys, CPAs, and family members. Traditional retail financial planning often falls short for those with significant wealth, as our clients typically present a complex array of questions and challenges. While at the same time, many families are not ready to build their own internal family office structure due to cost and complexity.

Why Choose Granite Harbor Advisors?

The GHA Difference

Our “Four Uniques” are what make up the GHA Difference. By consistently delivering on all four of these components, our clients receive the world-class service, experience, and expertise they have come to expect from the team at Granite Harbor.

A Collaborative Team, Not Just a Collection of Individuals:

Our commitment to lifelong planning at Granite Harbor Advisors addresses the industry-wide challenge of maintaining service continuity. Unlike the disruption that often follows an individual advisor’s departure, our robust business continuity strategy and the collaborative, team-based approach to each relationship safeguards our clients against service gaps, ensuring our firm delivers consistent, lifelong support.

Access to Public and Private Market Investments Together

We offer unique, seamless, and integrated access to the public and private markets, in both the investment and insurance space, setting us apart from other firms. At Granite Harbor, we believe in a coordinated effort between these areas to achieve better financial synergy, rather than approaching them separately.

Sophisticated Solutions for Life Insurance and Estate Planning

We provide unparalleled insurance and estate planning solutions for successful individuals and families. Our bespoke and discreet approach allows us to customize solutions for complex financial situations that separate us from our industry competitors.

Our Core Values are Apparent to All Who Encounter Us

The core values of A.B.C.D.E guiding Granite Harbor Advisors illuminate our every action, from fiduciary advice to our hiring. These principles underscore our commitment as comprehensive wealth planning and estate planning experts, marking our distinction in the financial advisory landscape.

Helping Families Live Their Best Lives

Granite Harbor Helps You By Delivering:

More Time

At Granite Harbor Advisors, we understand time is your most valuable asset. Our Houston-headquartered team of financial advisors give you the gift of time. We give you the freedom to focus on what matters most to you rather than being burdened by countless hours spent managing and coordinating complex financial matters on your own.

Less Stress

Empowered with more time, stress levels are dramatically reduced. Emotions often intertwine with finances, breeding stress about the future. Our comprehensive wealth planning crafts detailed plans and instills discipline, significantly reducing the financial anxieties our clients face.

Better Family Harmony

With less stress present in the family, more harmony begins to surface. Whether it’s business ownership transition, retirement goals, a death in the family, or other monumental events, money disputes are a leading cause of family discord and are among the top reasons for divorce. At Granite Harbor, we prioritize preserving family harmony, proactively addressing potential financial disputes before they have an opportunity to damage or destroy the family fabric.

Multi-Generational Financial Security

With better family harmony intact, wealth that can transcend multiple generations becomes possible. Leaving a lasting legacy requires more than mere inheritance planning. Granite Harbor Advisors fosters multi-generational financial security through a collaborative approach to communication, ensuring your family’s prosperity endures through the generations.

Core Values

Guiding Granite Harbor

Everything we do from providing fiduciary advice to hiring new employees is guided by our core values of A.B.C.D.E.

A

Always Do The Right Thing

Even when it may be uncomfortable

B

Be A Leader

Lead from the front, back, and middle. Be accountable for your actions

C

Collaborative Strength

Down To Earth

Eager to Improve

Celebrate wins, but never be satisfied
