Family Office Services | International Wealth Structuring Support | ASC Consulting
Service Overview
High-net-worth families and the family offices that manage their interests operate at the intersection of complex corporate structures, multi-jurisdiction tax obligations, succession planning requirements, and private wealth management. The decisions made in each of these areas are deeply interconnected: a change in corporate structure has tax implications; a succession plan affects governance arrangements; an investment in a new jurisdiction creates compliance obligations. Managing these interdependencies requires a coordinated, multi-disciplinary advisory approach.
ASC Consulting provides discreet, professional advisory and coordination services for family offices and high-net-worth families with international business and investment interests across Asia and Europe. We act as a knowledgeable liaison between family principals and their specialist advisors, ensuring that all elements of their international affairs, corporate, tax, legal, and financial, are coordinated coherently and that no decision in one area creates unintended consequences in another.
Our service is built on the principles of discretion, professional excellence, and genuine understanding of the specific challenges that international families face in managing diversified cross-border interests across multiple generations.

Our Main Places of Activity
Our Family Office Services
Corporate Structure Management
Family offices and high-net-worth families typically hold their assets through a combination of holding companies, trusts, foundations, and operating entities across multiple jurisdictions. ASC Consulting manages the corporate compliance and secretarial obligations for these structures, ensuring that all entities remain in good standing, annual returns are filed on time, corporate records are maintained accurately, and governance documentation is kept current. We provide a complete corporate administration service that takes the administrative burden off family principals and their family office staff.
Multi-Jurisdiction Tax Compliance Coordination
Families with international structures face tax compliance obligations in multiple jurisdictions simultaneously, covering corporate tax for operating entities, income tax on investment returns, withholding taxes on cross-border payments, and, in some cases, wealth tax, inheritance tax, or capital gains tax in the jurisdictions of residence of family members. ASC Consulting coordinates these compliance obligations across jurisdictions, working with specialist local tax advisors where required and ensuring that the family's overall tax position is managed consistently and compliantly.
Investment Structure Review and Advisory
For families considering new investments, acquisitions, or restructurings, ASC Consulting provides preliminary structural analysis to identify the key corporate, tax, and regulatory considerations before specialist advisors are engaged. This preliminary advisory service allows family principals to quickly understand the key issues and make informed decisions about whether and how to proceed, without incurring the cost of full specialist advisory before the fundamental parameters of the transaction are clear.
Liaison with Specialist Advisors
Family offices routinely engage multiple specialist advisors, including lawyers, tax counsel, auditors, bankers, and financial advisors, across multiple jurisdictions. Coordinating the work of these advisors and ensuring they are all working to the same brief and toward the same objectives is time-consuming and requires a level of technical understanding that not all family office executives possess. ASC Consulting acts as an informed liaison between the family and its specialist advisors, managing information flows, coordinating workstreams, and ensuring that the overall advisory effort is coherent and efficient.
Succession Planning Support
The transfer of business and investment interests from one generation to the next is one of the most complex challenges facing family businesses. Succession planning involves legal, tax, governance, and human dimensions that must be considered in an integrated way. ASC Consulting provides preliminary structuring analysis and coordination support for family succession planning projects, working alongside specialist legal and tax advisors to ensure that all dimensions of the plan are considered and that the implementation is managed in an orderly and tax-efficient manner.
