PROGRAMS FOR ADVISORS

Professionals working with family businesses quickly discover the unique concerns and conflicts generated by the merger of personal and professional lives…and the complexity of working with a multi-generational group. Until recently, these professionals had few places to learn new, effective ways to assist their family business clients. 

The Aspen Family Business Group has developed a program to meet this need. Training sessions for business professionals designed around the book, Working With Family Businesses: A Guide For Professionals, authored by The Group, are now available for your organization. 

This program is designed for experts in a variety of fields, including attorneys, accountants, insurance executives, financial planners and investment bankers. The program “ Working With Family Businesses” will help professionals appreciate the uniqueness of family business and learn useful techniques for working with clients toward their personal, financial and business goals.
