We serve family firms best when we elevate each other.
The Family Business Consulting Group was founded in 1994 to create a community of practitioners who are passionate about the needs of family firms and becoming the best in the field through shared learning and collaboration. We believe family enterprises are precious and vitally important to the economies and social fabric of the world and deserve the best care and counsel.
Located across North America, our team of consultants is the largest and most experienced group of its kind. We bring deep educational and real-world expertise in disciplines like strategy, management, and governance, combined with empathy for the crucial human elements of family enterprise. All this is rooted in a genuine desire to see our clients flourish.
Like many of the families that we serve, our intention is to perpetuate The Family Business Consulting Group across generations by continuously identifying and attracting outstanding professionals and facilitating their improvement while reinvesting in our organization, methods, and intellectual capital.
This is our past, our present, and our future.
A Collaborative Culture & Team Environment
Investing in each other is an investment in our clients’ success.

A rotating small team of consultants develops the 1.5-day agenda and content with a wide range of experience and expertise. This planning model encourages fresh perspectives and opportunities to learn more about each other.
Other collective projects include:
- Teaming on client cases
- Developing thought leadership
- Harnessing collective wisdom to answer client questions
- Curating group knowledge and experiences
