The plan you set up for a family — finally carried out.
When your client sets up an intra-family loan, a year of gifting, or a living inheritance for a grandchild, Family Matters carries out the mechanics — the note at the right AFR, the payments, the records — in one place you and the family share. You stay the advisor; it just handles the doing.

It carries out the decision.
You stay the advisor.
Family Matters doesn't recommend strategies, manage assets, or step into your relationship. Your client decides — with you. It just executes the decision you helped them make, and keeps everyone working from the same live picture.
The work that lands on your desk when a client comes to you.
A client decides to help family; the doing falls to you. Family Matters carries out the mechanics — so it's not your spreadsheet, your Word doc, or your year-end scramble.
The family loan — set up right and serviced for years
Your client decides to lend; you or their attorney shape the terms. Family Matters carries it out — a promissory note at the IRS AFR, the amortization schedule, automatic ACH payments, and the 1099-INT prepared at year-end. Your document, executed — not a signed PDF that gets filed and forgotten.
- Note & schedule at the right AFR.
- Payments run automatically — no one chasing checks.
- 1099-INT prepared for the interest paid.
A year of gifting — tracked as it happens, gift by gift
When a client is giving while living — handing kids or grandkids part of their inheritance early — every gift is logged against the $19,000 exclusion and each giver's lifetime exemption, and a Form 709 is flagged the moment one's needed. Clean records year-round — the tax-season scramble, gone.
- Per-giver, per-recipient exclusion tracking.
- Lifetime-exemption running total.
- 709-required alerts, the moment a gift goes over.
You and everyone else, on one live picture — always current
Stop chasing PDFs that are three statements stale. You, the family, and the other advisors see the same thing, live — scoped so you see exactly what you need (the loans, gifts, and records) and nothing you don't, like bank credentials.
- Scoped, least-privilege access.
- No more emailed-PDF tag.
- You advise; Family Matters carries it out.
You don't onboard your book. You start with one client.
Family Matters reaches you the way your work already does — through a client, never a cold pitch.
A client adds you
A family already using Family Matters invites you in — scoped to exactly their loans, gifts, and records. Nothing to set up, and it's free for you.
A client comes to you
A client wants to set up a family loan or start gifting. You point them to Family Matters, and it carries the work out from there — with you on the view.
One client today. Your book, when you're ready.
As more of your families use Family Matters, they roll into one roster — flagged for what needs attention before April. No migration and no pitch to your clients; it grows as they invite you in.
