Competition for senior talent among family offices in the UK and Channel Islands is fierce. As roles evolve and offices become increasingly professionalised, the demand for experienced leaders and specialist executives is growing.
For family offices looking to grow their teams or replace key roles – and for professionals looking to move into the sector – it’s useful to have an overview of the current landscape: where talent can be sourced, how expectations are changing on both sides of the hiring desk, and what constitutes an attractive offer for top professionals.
In response, we’ve put together the Family Office Remuneration Guide.
This free download covers salary and bonus ranges, benefits, market insights, and recruitment tips for 11 key family office roles, providing insights to inform outreach strategy and hiring decisions.

For offices managing £1.5bn or more in assets, total packages for a CEO or CIO can reach £1.4M — driven by performance bonuses of up to 80–120% of base, Long-Term Incentive Plans, and co-investment structures.
Even at the mid-market level (£500M–£1.5bn AUM), total compensation for a CFO can exceed £400k, while a COO running complex, multi-jurisdictional operations can command upwards of £375k.
Our guide shows that several factors consistently push compensation above or below the market centre: from portfolio type, to jurisdictions, trust layering and the level of principal involvement.
We hope that both employers and professionals in the family office sector will find the information a useful starting point. Of course, every family office is unique in its structure, assets, and priorities, so the salary and bonus ranges we’ve presented won’t cover every office, or every role – but they should provide a useful indication of the current market.
