Gleneagles Family Office is on a mission to make families of great wealth stronger. For more than 25 years, our team has worked with families to safeguard and build their legacies.
As CEO of a single-family office in the 1990s, our Founder, David Plyler, realized that all families stewarding significant wealth face similar obstacles and opportunities. He intentionally designed Gleneagles as a way for families to receive hands-on, individualized service while sharing in a team of experts with specialized skills and wisdom. He curated a comprehensive team that could meet the goals of each family across all aspects of wealth management: tax and estate planning; investment oversight; real estate and alternative investments; legal counsel; family governance; and holistic financial reporting. David and the Gleneagles team also built a network across the family office industry, connecting thought leaders, families, and their advisors at special events throughout the year.
From customized family office services to a network of support from industry thought leaders, partners, and peers, Gleneagles has the resources to help your family thrive.
At Gleneagles, we know that all families are unique. Your Gleneagles team is unique too – designed specifically to fit the changing needs of your family. Our family teams typically consist of five to seven team members: a Relationship Manager (your main point of contact), a Family CFO, a Family Accountant, a Tax Manager, Investment Advisor, Legal Counsel, and bookkeeping and bill pay personnel. Because our resources are shared among families, Gleneagles can provide these services exactly when and how you need them.

With a passion for innovation guiding us, Gleneagles brings powerful, tailored solutions to families using a shared family office model.
