A trust or two, a handful of entities, and the accounts and property beneath them.

Year one also carries onboarding, once, between $12,500 and $36,000 depending on the scope of the build.

You are paying for one thing to outlast the person who knows it.

A Collection is one thing you own or govern. A person. A trust. An entity. An asset. A debt. Take one Delaware LLC.

What it is
A Delaware LLC.
Where it sits
Third tier, under your 1998 trust.
What we hold on it
Fourteen facts, taken from the nine documents that created it.
Who may touch it
Six people can see it. Two can act on it.
On whose authority
Each of those two named in the document that gives them the power, not by custom.
What has been decided
Every approval on it, dated, with the person who gave it and the reason.
What it owes
Six obligations, each already running on its own clock.

One thing. One Collection.

An entity and the asset it holds are two. Twelve brokerage accounts are twelve.

Read across. The second column is what a Collection costs you on average once you hold that many. The third is what the next one costs. The fourth is the year's fee if your count sits exactly at the top of the band.

Graduated, like tax brackets. Growing into a new band never reprices what came before.

The Census reports on families holding fifteen Collections or more, so that its figures describe an office in operation rather than a record still being built. This schedule counts every Collection you hold, from the first. Same unit, two populations.

What changes the number, and what does not.

Open any of these for the detail. None of them change the schedule. Each one changes the figure you arrive at.

Every family member, every person in the office, every outside advisor. Unlimited, free, and never a fee per seat. One Admin is included; further Admins are $2,500 a year each.

There is a reason the model works this way. Admins are known to us. Everyone else exists only inside your encrypted environment, and we never see their names or their email addresses. We do not charge for what we cannot see.

When an asset is sold or an entity is closed, its Collection is not deleted. It stays in your structure, marked inactive, still governed and still searchable, because successors need to know not only what was decided but why. It stays in the count.

Because the schedule is graduated, keeping it costs your lowest rate. For an estate of 600 Collections, a closed entity's complete record costs $22 a year.

Each family added to a multi-family office carries a one-time launch fee of $350, covering its workspace and Admin access. That family's Collections then join the master count and price on the same graduated schedule, which is why the ninth family costs far less than the first.

You are never metered as you go. We count on your subscription anniversary, and that count sets the coming year. Ordinary growth simply arrives in the next count.

One exception, and it is deliberately narrow. A new family, or growth from a single event such as an acquisition above the greater of 20% or 150 Collections, is invoiced during the year for the part of the year that remains.

Everything published on this page is the 36-month standard term, paid once a year. A 12-month term is available at a 20% premium. Paying twice a year adds 10%, quarterly adds 17%, and those premiums never touch one-time fees. Fees rise 3% a year.

Year one carries onboarding. After that, only what you ask for.

Our team builds it for you. Your family, entities, trusts, assets and ownership as they stand today. Your documents filed by what each one governs. The office set up to work the way you want. You supply access and decisions. You do this once.

Onboarding, one time, in year one.

For the median office above, year one is $58,365: the subscription of $36,365 and Keystone onboarding of $22,000. Year two is $36,365 again, and whatever service you choose.

The count on your Order Form is an estimate, and confirmed counts typically come in higher. You receive the confirmed count in writing when the modelling closes, and the subscription prices at that number. Because the schedule is graduated, the additional Collections price at your lowest rates, not the first band.

Onboarding buys team time, and time is consumed by real volume and condition. How far it goes is largely in your hands: how much legacy paper there is, how much training your team wants, how quickly decisions come back. If more is needed you buy it at the discounted plan rates, $150 to $400 an hour by seniority, rather than the ad hoc rates of $188 to $500. You are told before you are there, never after.

Compass and Keystone balances are used within the year. Summit balances carry forward one year.

Count it yourself. Then bring the number.

Count instances, not categories: every family member you govern for, every entity, every trust, every account, property, policy and artwork, every credit line, mortgage and pledge. Add them. Apply the schedule. That is your subscription, and nothing on this page sits behind a form.

Thirty minutes against your actual structure is enough to test a count, and offices that have already counted get more out of the conversation. Most find more than they expected. Open the printable worksheet.
