The Family Office Software Solution

Navigator accounts for all types of legal entities in the family office, including trusts, estates, partnerships, LLCs, and Subchapter S corporations. Entities can be added, subtracted, or grouped easily to reflect changes in family structures or personal reporting requirements. These diverse entities are tracked in one software system, allowing for easy high-net-worth reporting and investment analysis.

Family office managers are often faced with managing many large and diverse portfolios. With Navigator, you can provide daily securities price updates while keeping detailed tax lot records at cost-basis or fair market value. Navigator and its StockWeb, BankLink and BrokerLink add-on modules import and post securities prices, plus bank and brokerage information automatically, saving you time and keeping your clients' financial positions current.

Family members rely on family office managers to make frequent distributions, including bill payments. CheckForm makes complex check-runs simple. Checkform prints entire check-runs from multiple bank accounts onto blank checkstock — fully customized, professionally formatted and MICR-encoded — avoiding the need for multiple pre-printed checkstock.

Financial planning for wealthy families often includes managing trusts and estates, which require attention to detail. Navigator's flexible chart of accounts is designed to separate trust and estate income from their respective assets for both accounting and reporting purposes. With Navigator, you can serve the diverse interests of multiple family members.

Reporting is an important function family office managers perform for family members. Navigator produces over 100 professional reports, including financial statements, tax schedules and portfolio snapshots. You can easily produce consolidated reports that span multiple years, entities or generations with Advanced Reports.

Financial Navigator offers training and support so that all of the people in your office can learn its powerful capabilities. Find out more about Navigator and which Edition is right for you and your clients.
