 Family Business is good business…
Owning and operating a business offers families many advantages. The family can realize its financial and philanthropic dreams, while providing employment for family members, financial support for members not employed in the business, and an income stream for generations to come.
Yet being a part of a family-owned business requires that family members play multiple and sometimes conflicting roles: owner, employee, and family member. Sometimes what’s good for the family isn’t good for the business and vice-versa. At Jean Stone Associates, we understand these complexities and work collaboratively with our clients to improve personal, family, and business functioning so that the family business becomes a source of both personal and professional fulfillment. Our primary focus is helping family-owned businesses thrive.
Jean Stone is the founder and president of Jean Stone Associates. She is a former family business owner and executive, having worked in her family’s $80 million electronics manufacturing business for more than twenty years. She holds a Masters in Business Administration degree and is an adjunct faculty member at Northern Illinois University.
