Todd M. Villarrubia, an authority in wealth planning and preservation, brings over 30 years of in-depth, experience to the complex challenges of safeguarding familial and individual wealth. Based in New Orleans, Louisiana, his expertise is not only recognized in the local community but also reverberates within the legal industry.
From tax planning to legacy strategy, a Virtual Family Office gives you clarity, coordination, and control over your complex financial world.

As financial lives become more complex, especially for business owners and high-net-worth families, managing everything from investments to tax planning to succession strategies can feel overwhelming. Enter the Virtual Family Office (VFO)—a modern solution designed to provide the comprehensive support of a traditional family office, but with the flexibility and cost-efficiency that today’s wealth holders demand.

A VFO consolidates your financial, legal, and lifestyle advisory needs into one coordinated strategy. Whether you’re navigating liquidity events, planning your estate, or preparing the next generation, a virtual family office can serve as your central command center for long-term financial clarity.

What Is a Virtual Family Office?

A virtual family office is a team-based approach that connects trusted advisors—legal, tax, investment, insurance, and philanthropic—under a single, cohesive plan. Unlike a traditional family office that operates in-house and may cost millions annually, a VFO leverages technology and strategic partnerships to provide similar value with more flexibility and at a fraction of the cost.

Instead of juggling separate advisors, a virtual family office ensures everyone is on the same page, providing tailored, proactive advice to manage, grow, and transfer wealth.

How a VFO Simplifies Your Financial Life

  1. Centralized Strategy
    A virtual family office gives you one place to coordinate everything—business interests, real estate, trusts, philanthropic goals, and more. No more siloed advice or disjointed planning.
  2. Cost Efficiency
    You get access to a network of experts without having to build and fund your own internal staff. For emerging wealth or first-generation wealth creators, this model is ideal.
  3. Proactive Planning
    Your virtual family office team is focused not just on what you’ve built—but where you’re going. From succession plans to investment strategy shifts, they help anticipate and solve challenges before they become problems.
  4. Family Alignment
    Your VFO can help organize family meetings, document legacy goals, and create governance structures to ensure family values and financial goals stay aligned across generations.
  5. Technology-Enabled Transparency
    With the right virtual family office, you get real-time dashboards, performance updates, and secure collaboration tools—all designed to give you greater visibility into your entire financial picture.

Is a VFO Right for You?

If you're a business owner, founder, or wealth creator navigating complexity—especially across multiple entities or generations—a virtual family office may be the key to simplifying your financial life. It's particularly powerful for those who value privacy, agility, and deeply personalized service without the overhead of a brick-and-mortar family office.
