Our lineage
helps yours
Nobody in the market knows business families better than us. Our deep experience, insights and connections better enable your family and business to grow together.
Our story
Family businesses are misunderstood. From inside and out.
Inside the business, families provide an emotional force, but not always for the better. And from the outside, few acknowledge the incredible commitment and contribution that family businesses make to our economy and society.
Our partners grew up in family businesses, and worked for decades in one of the biggest global advisory firms, so we’ve spent our lives around kitchen and boardroom tables.
Within a large firm, we saw how family businesses can be treated like a transaction, with little investment in a relationship. The very thing that families thrive on. And so do we. It’s why we started Lineage, to specialise in helping Australia’s business families.
Our expert guidance comes from what we know works, using our history of supporting successful family enterprises and family offices, balancing business knowledge and family know-how.

Our experience and networks
Each of our 3 partners has had over 20 years experience working exclusively with family-owned businesses, first at KPMG, and now with Lineage.
As well as trusted advisors, we sit on boards, investment committees and family councils, and even chair some of Australia’s largest and most successful business families.
We’ve built a powerfully connected network and we now have close relationships with many of Australia’s leading business families.
As a Lineage client, you’ll benefit from this collective knowledge and know-how, helping your business family succeed.
