Who we are
Family Business Institute (Australia) – (“FBIA”) is an independent commercial organisation dedicated to the training, accreditation, support, and promotion of specialist family business advisers.
Our Members
Our Members hail from a broad range of profession disciplines including: law, finance, accountancy, financial planning, property consulting, wealth management, business advisory, management consulting, HR, strategy and business planning, advisory and governance boards, succession planning, professional facilitation, psychology, leadership and executive coaching, dispute resolution, and academia.
What we do
We train, supervise, accredit, support, coach, mentor, and promote the engagement of specialist advisers to family businesses, and business families, of all types and sizes.
FBIA does not consult, although our Facilitators, Coaches, and Mentors are all active and experienced practitioners.
Why We Do It (Our Mission)
Our Mission is to increase the knowledge, skills, performance, visibility, and engagement of specialist advisers to help achieve superior outcomes for families in business.
How We Do It
Our Best Practice Model enables specialist advisers to respond holistically to the full range of family business needs – personal, family, and commercial – including collaboration with complementary professionals, inside and outside the FBIA network.
We advocate a client-centric, problem-solving approach using this format:
Inevitable Disclaimer
Members can access proprietary resources developed by FBIA faculty and members over many years through use on real family business clients. They are supplied solely as guides and thought starters, rather than as definitive end products.
It’s impossible to accurately predict the likely or actual nature and scope of any business family’s circumstances and needs. Every adviser is therefore responsible for ensuring that their own capabilities, and those of their team members, are appropriately matched to the requirements of their engagements. It’s also their responsibility to ensure that whatever FBIA resources they use are safe and appropriate for their chosen application.
FBIA makes no promises or representations whatsoever about the fitness for purpose of any of our materials or resources, in any form of use.
