“They have provided great service and saved me an enormous amount of time. I can’t imagine paying my bills without them. Never had an issue with security or control. It is a very professional organization.”

American families who handle their own financial administration devote an average of 314 hours a year to the effort. Those with multiple homes, trusts, and other complexities often spend far more. Such complexity can also lead to costly mistakes, a lack of clarity, and a loss of privacy. Aquilance offers a better alternative.
You probably don’t cut your own grass or change your own oil — why are you still paying your own bills, doing your own bookkeeping, trying to stay on top of required trust documentation, and other chores? By using our professional services, you can spend just a few hours focused on the big picture, rather than endless hours on the laborious details.
The many benefits our services provide include:
- Ensuring that your bills will be paid on time and that your financial administration matters will be professionally handled when you are traveling or spending time at a second home
- Providing clear, detailed reports to help inform your personal financial decisions
- Increasing the efficiency and accuracy of tax preparation, financial planning, and retirement planning
- Protecting your privacy and personal data through strict standards of confidentiality and rigorous cybersecurity protocols
- Reducing overall costs by eliminating expensive mistakes and gaining efficiencies through technology-aided processes
Family Offices

Many of our family office clients have found that outsourcing bookkeeping, bill payment, and other personal financial administration chores reduces costs and frees them to focus on their core mission. With thirty-plus years of service to ultra-high-net-worth families and their family offices, we have the experience and platforms to manage the processes more efficiently and to see potential problems that might slip by others. Just as importantly, we provide “a second set of eyes” on the books. By reconciling bank statements and coordinating closely with the family bankers and other advisors, we can greatly improve the integrity of the family’s finances.

Athletes & Entertainers
“I was presented with the services at [Aquilance], and having their information at my fingertips continues to allow me to make better decisions. I’ve already made some changes to my spending habits and lifestyle based on the information and feedback they provide.”

Having worked with professional athletes and entertainers for many years, we understand the unique financial challenges of making a living in the spotlight. Income streams can be unpredictable, tax filings are complicated, and earnings can peak at an age when most careers are just kicking into second gear. It’s important that high-profile professionals, as well as their agents and managers, stay on top of the day-to-day details and have the reliable information they need for long-term planning. For many clients, an effective solution is to establish a “loan-out,” or personal service corporation, that incorporates their income stream, bookkeeping, billpay, and other chores. Our fee is based on the work required, not on assets, so these can be highly cost-effective structures that benefit the client in a number of ways.
