Family Business by Industry
In Professional Services, the Business Is the People. Succession Changes Everything.
Law firms, accounting practices, consulting firms, and other professional services businesses built around family face a fundamental challenge: the value walks out the door every night. Transitioning that value takes planning most families never do.
Common Challenges
Does This Reflect Your Situation?
Client relationships are tied to one or two senior family members with no transition plan
Next-generation professionals are in the firm but not being developed for leadership
Equity and compensation structures are creating tension between generations
The firm has grown but governance has not kept pace with the complexity
Jonathan's Approach

Jonathan works with professional services families to build succession plans that protect client relationships, develop next-generation leadership, and create governance structures appropriate for the firm's size and complexity. He understands that in professional services, the transition of trust and relationships is as important as the transition of ownership.
