Farther – Intelligent Wealth Management, natively built to unlock greater wealth for clients throughout their financial lives – has launched Farther Family Office (FFO), a bespoke offering for ultra-high-net-worth (UHNW) families. Built ground up for ultra-high-net-worth families, Farther Family Office powers elite advisory services with intelligent solutions to remove the pain points of generational wealth management.
FFO is architected from the ground up to serve the increasingly complex needs of clients with generational wealth. Informed by centimillionaire and billionaire clients, FFO is empowered to act purely in its clients’ best interests – supported by native AI infrastructure to serve clients without the friction associated with traditional institutions’ “bolt-on” technology.
Benjamin Seidenstein, CFA, will lead as Global Head of FFO. A longtime Goldman Sachs private wealth advisor, Seidenstein oversaw over $1.5 billion in client assets and established one of the firm's fastest-growing private wealth practices, advising UHNW entrepreneurs, executives, and private investors.
“Private banking is overdue for a new model – one centered around the clients’ needs, not the institution’s,” said Benjamin Seidenstein, Global Head of FFO. “Farther Family Office meets that need by combining a technology-first foundation with a bespoke advisory model to deliver truly customized solutions and elite service for generational wealth management.”
Farther’s multi-family office gives UHNW families the full experience of a dedicated family office, without the operational complexity. FFO’s flexibility also extends to whom it serves. Unlike traditional multi-family offices, Farther does not impose arbitrary minimums, recognizing that some of the most sophisticated wealth management needs belong to entrepreneurs, creators, and builders whose wealth is still taking shape ahead of major liquidity events.
FFO is built to satisfy the critical demands of growing and stewarding generational wealth:
Uncompromised Client Service: As a fee-only fiduciary, absent product allegiances and institutional bureaucracy, FFO is free to focus entirely on what matters – delivering the right solution that best serves each client’s needs, not simply what’s best for the institution.
Whole-Life Wealth Coordination: FFO serves as the single, trusted point of contact for a family's entire financial life – coordinating across investments, tax, estate, lending, and beyond. FFO anticipates and acts on clients’ needs before they have to ask.
Open Architecture Investment Access: FFO provides access to an expansive investment universe – including niche strategies, targeted alternatives and highly customized opportunities, tailored to each family's goals and values. While traditional firms are incentivized to offer only what can scale across their entire client base, FFO sources bespoke opportunities for each client’s unique financial situation.
Multi-Generational Continuity: Supported by Farther's Intelligent Wealth Platform, FFO gives families a single, unified view of their entire financial picture, across generations. This equips the next generation not just with wealth, but with the tools, visibility and systems required to learn about, preserve and steward it.
South Florida, and Miami in particular, has rapidly emerged as one of the most important hubs for ultra-high-net-worth individuals and families globally, driven by significant wealth migration from markets such as New York, California and international financial centers. As capital, entrepreneurs, and family offices continue to relocate and establish a presence in the region, the demand for more sophisticated, flexible, and technology-driven wealth management solutions has accelerated. Though Farther Family Office works with clients nationally, with Benjamin Seidenstein based in Miami, Farther Family Office is strategically positioned at the center of this shift—serving a growing base of UHNW clients who increasingly view South Florida not just as a lifestyle destination, but as a long-term financial and generational wealth hub.
“The most successful families in the world deserve a wealth management experience as sophisticated as their financial lives,” said Taylor Matthews, CEO and Co-Founder of Farther. “Ben is one of the most respected advisors in the industry, and together we’re building something that’s never existed before: a true family office experience, powered by Farther’s Intelligent Wealth Platform.”
Founded in 2019, Farther manages over $15 billion in assets and supports advisors nationwide. The firm ranks among the top 10 recruiters of financial advisors nationally, according to AdvisorHub, and delivers category-leading advisor satisfaction.
