Comprehensive Reporting : Deliver clear, data-driven reports on project status, costs, risks, and performance, ensuring transparency and accountability to the Family Office.

Risk & Compliance : Review contracts for accuracy and financial integrity. Maintain rigorous compliance with internal controls, accounting standards, and policy requirements.

Insurance Administration : Manage insurance coverage across all family properties, from renewals to new acquisitions and policy modifications.

Vendor Oversight : Supervise contractors and vendors to ensure adherence to contracts, payment schedules, and deliverables.

Cross-Functional Coordination : Align property and construction activities with Family Office financial systems and procedures, maintaining meticulous records for audits and reviews.

Personnel Administration : Support onboarding, offboarding, and HR coordination for property-related staff.
