Americana Partners Launches Americana Partners Family Office Group, Bringing Together Specialized Expertise Through a Coordinated Family Office Model
EmitenTrust.com The firm's dedicated Family Office Group unifies specialized expertise under a single brand, providing ultra-high-net-worth individuals and families with a more coordinated approach to managing complex wealth.
HOUSTON, Sept. 22, 2026 /PRNewswire/ -- Americana Partners today announced the launch of Americana Partners Family Office Group, its dedicated multi-family office practice serving ultra-high-net-worth individuals and families through a coordinated, relationship-driven approach to managing complex wealth. The offering is led by Matt Celenza, Managing Director & Partner, whose Southern California-based team specializes in helping ultra-high-net-worth entrepreneurs, business owners and executives navigate the complexities of significant wealth.
The launch reflects Americana Partners' commitment to expanding the firm's capabilities while formally establishing Americana Partners Family Office Group. By bringing specialized expertise together under the Family Office brand, the offering provides a centralized advisory relationship designed to help clients navigate increasingly interconnected financial, business and legacy decisions with greater coordination and clarity. As Americana Partners continues to grow as a premier independent wealth management platform, the firm plans to expand the family office offering to serve clients nationwide.
As wealth becomes increasingly sophisticated, financial decisions rarely happen in isolation. Business ownership, liquidity events, tax strategy, estate planning, lending, philanthropy and multi-generational planning all influence one another. Increasingly, families need more than access to specialized advisors—they need a trusted partner who can help coordinate those decisions through a single, integrated strategy.
"People often assume that once you've accumulated significant wealth, the hard part is over. In reality, that's when the real complexity begins," said Matt Celenza, Managing Director & Partner of Americana Partners Family Office Group. "Many of our clients have spent decades building a business or creating extraordinary wealth, only to discover that their biggest challenge isn't generating returns—it's coordinating the many financial decisions involved in multi-generational planning. That's not something any one advisor can manage alone. That's what a family office group is meant to do."
Celenza joined Americana Partners in 2025 to help build and expand the firm's Family Office capabilities. Based in Southern California, Celenza and his team draw on decades of experience advising ultra-high-net-worth entrepreneurs, business owners and executives, bringing together specialized expertise through a dedicated family office model. The launch also builds on Americana Partners' 2026 acquisition of NRT Consulting, a financial consulting and accounting firm whose capabilities were integrated into Americana Partners' Family Office Services offering. The acquisition expanded the firm's ability to help clients organize and manage the financial complexities of both their operating businesses and personal holdings, including accounting, bill pay and cash-flow forecasting.
While many wealth management firms offer specialized planning services, Americana Partners Family Office Group is built around a different philosophy: serving as the central advisor for coordinating those capabilities on behalf of the client. Removing the hassle of coordinating multiple specialists on their own, individuals and families benefit from a dedicated Family Office team that helps ensure each financial decision supports their broader objectives.
"As the term 'family office' has become more common across the wealth management industry, it's important to recognize that an effective family office model is defined by more than the breadth of services it offers," said Jason Fertitta, Chief Executive Officer and Founding Partner of Americana Partners. "It requires a coordinated team that understands how every financial decision fits within a family's broader goals. Americana Partners Family Office Group reflects our commitment to providing the depth of coordination and specialized expertise required to help clients navigate the realities of significant wealth."
