AI is obviously a massive secular trend. Perhaps the greatest innovation in the history of humanity. How can family office investors cut through the clutter, deconstruct what’s actually going on, and find outsized opportunities on the public and private side? Further, how can families and family office leaders create their own AI-native organization and culture, embrace practical applications to maximize efficiency, and stay abreast of this dynamic space and separate signal from noise?
Essential innovation for your Family Office Tech Stack As families become more tech-savvy, their expectations for transparency, real-time access, and seamless service are rapidly increasing. Modern solutions are streamlining complex workflows, integrating data from multiple sources, and empowering offices to focus on strategy rather than manual tasks. Innovation in family office technology is no longer optional – it’s essential. Brittany von Czoernig, Director of Sales, WealthHub
Although CFOs’ optimism has risen, finance leaders are confronting the disruptive triumvirate of new tax legislation, persistent tariff volatility, and rising AI integration—while seeking meaningful, measurable outcomes.

The takeaway is that holistic modeling is essential for businesses to determine the right tax strategy for their circumstances.
Knowledger is a technology tool that efficiently moves data from a custodian source, housing the data, and creates all the journal entries into your general ledger. Knowledger provides a digital solution to manage the massive amount of data to be entered into a firm’s general ledger, making this process considerably faster. The firm therefore doesn’t need staff for this task, nor do they need to outsource it, as the technology provides quicker and more accurate results.
Shadow AI is no longer a fringe issue—it’s a mainstream reality inside most organizations. While the risks are real—ranging from security breaches to compliance failures—it also represents a powerful signal: Your workforce is ready, willing, and already experimenting with AI to solve real problems. Organizations that respond with rigid control will stifle innovation. Those that respond with clear strategy, empowered oversight, and curated choice will unlock AI’s full potential—safely and at scale.
