Robyn M. Trani, CPA, brings more than 20 years of related experience to FFO, most recently serving as controller for a single-family office. In addition to client services responsibilities, Ms. Trani will work directly with partners and account management teams to streamline existing processes and formalize capabilities as FFO continues to develop and implement innovative family office solutions for ultra-high-net worth communities. Esma Deljanin, Director of Administration, joins FFO as a seasoned human resources and organizational management professional. In her new role, Ms. Deljanin will oversee employee development programs and corporate culture initiatives at the firm.
“The proliferation of the family office space has continued unabated, as persistent demand among ultra-wealthy families encourages new participants. Many find that starting a family office is actually the easy part. Success depends almost entirely on people, processes and protocols. The addition of Robyn and Esma to our team will allow FFO to build on the advantages earned through years of exceptional service and maintain standards for excellence as we grow our business,” said Rick Flynn, Managing Partner at FFO.

Central to this ability is an established “culture of competitive learning” that challenges employees to perform at their best.
“While Robyn and Esma occupy distinct roles within our firm, there are clear and corresponding mandates. Robyn’s expertise will be invaluable in performing ongoing engagement team evaluations, outlining detailed client service plans and developing new client solutions and capabilities. Our standards for service are reinforced by a vibrant workplace where all team members contribute to charting a course for career development. As FFO continues to grow both organically and through strategic acquisition, our focus will be on those firms and candidates that also embrace these values,” said Mr. Flynn.
