The Rockefeller family pioneered the family office concept back in the 1890s to deal with their financial chaos. Today, family offices are evolving into virtual models, enabling multiple families to collaborate on wealth management strategies. Hilton Tax and Wealth Advisors aim to bring family office strategies to Main Street investors, making advanced wealth management accessible to more people.
