Sinclaire Advisors works with boards and trustees on stewardship — the structures, decisions and successions that decide whether an institution outlives its founders.
Connect With Us →Sinclaire Advisors is an advisory firm working across North America, Europe and Asia Pacific. Part of Aldworth Foundation Services, we take a small number of long relationships rather than a large number of engagements, because governance advice given at a distance is worth very little.
Our work is partner-led, conviction-weighted, and built around a small number of engagements at a time. We do not pursue volume. We pursue outcomes the principal can name three years later.
We advise boards, trustees and owners whose obligations outlast their tenure.
Perpetual capital with mandates to outlast trustees.
Academic institutions with distinctive governance.
Owner-led businesses moving between generations.
Firms with equity and leadership to transition.
Boards under continuous regulatory expectation.
Bodies accountable to a membership rather than a market.
Each area below serves the same duty: leaving an institution able to govern itself well after the current people have gone.
Composition, committees and the papers that let a board govern rather than be briefed.
Leadership transition planned early enough to be a choice rather than a scramble.
Keeping intent intact across decades, trustees and changes of leadership.
What the board is actually accountable for, and how it can demonstrate it looked.
Periodic commentary on governance, stewardship and the uses of authority.
