We recognise that behind every trust or foundation is a family, with its individual issues and aims, ranging from the preservation of the family business or its inherited wealth, to matters of potential conflict within a family, such as generational change or divorce. TRUSTS We recognise that behind every trust or foundation is a family, with its individual issues and aims, ranging from the preservation of the family business or its inherited wealth, to matters of potential conflict within a family, such as generational change or divorce. Our partners are experienced in dealing sensitively with the pressures faced by such families, and fully accept the demands of a trustee’s role. They are used to dealing with the demands of multiple jurisdictions and the complex regulatory, tax and reporting requirements involved. They actively seek solutions tailored to ensure that, while the trust assets are preserved and can grow, the beneficiaries interests are maintained. They understand that full accountability and efficient administration are essential, coupled with an ability to deal sensitively with beneficiaries at every stage in life. Our Specialists

Reporting and maintaining your results is only one part of what is really required. Traditional bookkeeping is historical based, looking at results compared to market, or reporting annual, quarterly or monthly performance. PLANNING & FORECASTING Reporting and maintaining your results is only one part of what is really required. Traditional bookkeeping is historical based, looking at results compared to market, or reporting annual, quarterly or monthly performance. But a huge part of a true CFO Function must be forward looking for it to add real value to your business. Preparing a budget should not just be based on your previous year actuals, then accounting for inflation. A “bottom-up” budget should always be done, and using Rawlinson & Hunter Singapore, we will provide an in depth analysis of your cost base, market conditions, business plans, cash, customer and financing position to ensure that a realistic, target driven budget is prepared. We are a partner for the long term, and will advise and assist in the coming years to help you achieve, and exceed this target. A traditional budget will only get you one or two years into the future. The critical difference between those companies that do well and those that excel is that the majority have a 5 or 10 year plan. Rawlinson & Hunter Singapore is uniquely placed to work with you and your team to understand where you want to be in 5 and 10 years time, how you want to get there, and build an innovative solution to achieve this goal.

As investment products become more diverse, keeping track of the financially successful family’s assets and their value is becoming increasingly difficult. This can make monitoring the family’s wealth, at best, more time consuming and, at worst, almost impossible for the family administrator or trustee. WEALTH REPORTING As investment products become more diverse, keeping track of the financially successful family’s assets and their value is becoming increasingly difficult. This can make monitoring the family’s wealth, at best, more time consuming and, at worst, almost impossible for the family administrator or trustee. We have developed our own systems and procedures for monitoring the composition and performance of a family’s investments and other assets. Our systems enable us to present the family or its advisers with comprehensive and timely reports consolidating the family’s entire asset base. The asset and performance analyses within our reports are tailored to the individual family’s needs in a way that we believe is unique in the marketplace. We consider that our independence from the investment process means that we can concentrate on our client’s needs and monitor objectively any investment adviser’s performance. Our Specialists
