Making Billionaire Family Office Services Attainable for Everyone

To grow and retain your wealth today and for generations to come, you’ll need a team of experts comprised of attorneys, accountants, financial advisors, risk mitigation specialists, and business advisors.

The full-time in-house employment of all of these professionals for wealth management is known as a “family office,” and it’s usually reserved for billionaires because hiring all of these services individually could break your bank.

Plus, do you have the time and know-how to assemble this team?

That’s why we’ve done it for you!

“We have had our taxes done here for many years. They have always been professional and provided excellent customer service.”

Rhiannon O'Brien



“Tim is wonderful. Easy to work with and very thorough, saving me money on my business taxes. I wouldn't use anyone else.”

Tessie Adams

CPAs With a Passion for Family Office Services

Established in 1964 in Portland’s Hollywood district, this firm already offered extraordinary tax planning services. Since then, I have evolved our company beyond the typical Honolulu accounting firm to include estate planning and wealth advisory because I wanted to take care of my family’s legacy wealth and help others do the same.

Over the years, clients have passed away and I’ve seen the disaster it creates for those who don’t have a plan in place. I truly want better for you and your family.

I know what good estate planning looks like for a bereaved family. It takes unnecessary stress off their plate and leaves them in a very good situation for decades.

On behalf of my family and our amazing team at Downing & Co, I look forward to working with you so you can save in taxes today and ensure your legacy for the future.
