Case Study
See how Henry Resources unified family office accounting
Henry Resources manages a complex family investment portfolio across 30 to 40 entities. Rand Group replaced three disconnected accounting systems, separate charts of accounts, spreadsheets, and manual consolidation processes with one NetSuite platform that centralizes accounting, reporting, approvals, and investment-related financial data. The family office now saves about 40 hours each month on consolidation and manages dozens of charts of accounts within one cloud ERP environment.

Family offices can use NetSuite OneWorld to manage trusts, partnerships, foundations, holding companies, operating businesses, and other legal entities within one structured environment.

Automate shared ownership and expense allocations
Rand Group’s NetSuite Family Office Allocation Manager helps family offices divide income, expenses, fees, gains, losses, contributions, and distributions across family members, trusts, entities, assets, or investments. The application applies defined allocation rules inside NetSuite and reduces reliance on manual spreadsheets.
