Ep 460: Establishing The Operational Systems It Takes To Truly Serve Ultra-HNW Clients Effectively with Stephanie Hughes


Listen Later

While many financial advisory firms seek to move 'upmarket' and serve high-net-worth and ultra-high-net-worth clients, these clients typically require (and often demand) a different level of service—and can benefit from a more integrated experience across legal, tax, and financial domains. For these firms, creating efficient operational systems is paramount, particularly when it comes to the processing and security of their frequent high-dollar transactions.

Stephanie Hughes is the CEO of Wiss Family Office, a multi-family office based in Florham Park, New Jersey, that oversees approximately $1 billion in AUM for 220 households. Listen in as Stephanie shares how her firm delivers a "one-stop shop" experience that reduces client stress by consolidating financial, tax, and legal services under one roof. We talk about the importance of integration and internal communication across service lines, the tools her team is building to monitor client activity and prevent fraud, and how internal workflows support the firm's high-volume, high-stakes client transactions. Stephanie also explains the value of being affiliated with a tax firm, and how that connection drives both strong referrals and immediate client trust.
