What the service team takes on.
Your reporting should not walk out the door with your controller.
Not a support queue. A named service lead and data lead who know your structure and do the recurring work inside it, so the knowledge sits with the account rather than with one person on your payroll.

Generations see different things, on purpose.
Permissions are set per person and per entity, revocable at any time, and every view is logged. A G3 member can follow the household summary without seeing the trust that funds it.

The record outlives the staff who built it.
When a CFO retires or an advisor changes, the structure, history, and documents stay where they are. Nothing gets carried out with someone's spreadsheet.
Performance, in peer context.
A number on its own does not answer the committee's question. Trailing returns sit against the benchmarks you actually report to, and against the blend your policy statement defines.

|---|---|---|---|
| Total portfolio | 11.4% | 8.2% | 9.6% |

For the first time, the principals and the CPA are reading the same number on the same morning.
