DAVISA AI STUDIO · SECTOR AI applied to wealth and family office
For the Principal, the Family Office director, the CFO or wealth controller and the
group’s financial lawyer. Automated executive summary for the Principal, systematic
detection of anomalies in intercompany expenses, RAG assistant over internal
documentation and mitigation of generational continuity risk. Data on-tenant, full
confidentiality.
The state of digital maturity in family office in 2026
Family office and wealth in Spain reach 2026 with mixed digital maturity. Family
offices that have implemented Business Central together with dvproject-patrimonio and
dvfinance have a solid accounting and operational foundation: multi-company
consolidation, holding company management, real-estate management with lease contracts
and CPI, financial portfolio tracking, periodic reporting to the Principal and tax
traceability. The data raw material is there and is usually well configured.
The gap appears, as in other sectors, on top of the data. The monthly executive
summary for the Principal is still composed manually by the CFO or controller, pulling
BC data, dvfinance data, external sheets with the private bank portfolio and a
narrative drafted under pressure in the first days of the month. Systematic review of
intercompany expenses looking for duplicates, off-pattern amounts or atypical suppliers
is unmanageable by hand and only partially covered in the annual audit.
Searching the FO’s internal documentation (contracts signed over decades, deeds,
agreed CPI clauses, letters to the Principal, board minutes, tax planning) still
depends on specific people who know the archive. Even with a well-structured
SharePoint, retrieving a specific clause from an old contract can take hours. The
Retrieval Augmented Generation layer over the indexed repository answers in seconds
with verbatim quote and source document traceability.
Family offices also face a structural risk that AI can mitigate: generational
continuity of knowledge. A large share of operational, tax and historical FO know-how
sits in the head of two or three key people. Their departure means a context loss
that’s hard to recover. A well-built internal RAG assistant doesn’t replace those
people, but it captures their explicit knowledge and makes it available to the next
generation or the next team. In a sector where discretion and continuity are core
values, this use case carries particular weight.
The problems where AI delivers real impact
Four gaps where, with BC + the dv* wealth-management extensions and the right AI
layer, the ROI is clear and the risk is low. If you recognise yourself in one of them,
there is a use case to start with.
Monthly executive summary to the Principal still done by hand under time pressure
At each month-end the CFO or controller spends several days composing the executive summary for the Principal: group cash performance, variances per company, real-estate situation, financial portfolio, pending tax position. The output is usually good, but the effort is disproportionate and the risk of transcription error is high.

Anomalies in intercompany expenses that go unnoticed
A family office manages dozens or hundreds of recurring suppliers (property maintenance, professional services, utilities) spread across several companies. Systematic review for duplicates, off-pattern amounts and suppliers with atypical behaviour is unmanageable by hand. Some anomalies only surface in the annual audit, too late.
Anomalies in accounts payable →
Internal documentation search slow and dependent on specific people
Finding a specific clause in a contract signed seven years ago, the CPI agreed in a deed, the scope of a power of attorney granted to a company or the exact content of an old letter to the Principal can take hours. The knowledge of where each document lives sits in the head of specific FO people. AI with RAG over the internal repository answers in seconds with verbatim quote.

Generational continuity: knowledge in the head of key people
In many family offices, operational, tax, legal and historical knowledge is concentrated in two or three key people. Their departure or replacement implies a serious risk of context loss. An internal RAG assistant over all FO documentation doesn't replace the person, but it captures a significant share of their explicit knowledge and makes it available to the next generation.

Davisa stack applied to family office
The AI layer sits on top of the Davisa wealth-management stack you already have, or
that we deploy for you before the pilot. The following flow describes the typical
architecture of a family office with the AI Studio live, with an emphasis on on-tenant
confidentiality.
- Microsoft Dynamics 365 Business Central: accounting and management
core of the wealth holding, with native multi-company consolidation.
- dvproject-patrimonio: Davisa extension for wealth management on BC
(group companies, real-estate assets, lease contracts, CPI, reporting to the Principal).
- dvfinance: advanced financial layer for group treasury, multi-company
bank reconciliation, portfolio tracking and cash-flow forecasting.
- dvdata-analysis: analytical exploitation and structured reporting
layer over BC + dvfinance, foundation for the KPIs that feed the automated executive
summary.
- dvinvoice-hub: inbound invoicing document hub for the group’s
intercompany flow, data foundation for the AP anomaly model.
- Azure OpenAI Service + Copilot Studio: AI layer deployed in the
family office tenant. Language models for the executive summary and conversational
agent for the RAG assistant, all on-tenant.
- Azure AI Search + SharePoint Online: vector indexing of the FO’s
document repository (contracts, deeds, letters to the Principal, minutes, tax
planning) with inherited permission control and full traceability.
Deployment examples
Three typical family office or wealth holding scenarios. These are indicative
examples, not published case studies with audited figures: they show how the AI Studio
lands in structures with a profile similar to yours.
Example 1 Family Office with wealth holding of 12 companies and 30 real-estate assets
Problem: CFO spends three to five days per month composing the executive summary for the Principal. The document is good but writing it eats up the CFO disproportionately, the person who should be focused on wealth strategy and the Principal relationship.
Proposed solution: Automated executive summary pilot on BC + dvproject-patrimonio + dvfinance. The system runs the monthly close, computes KPIs by company, flags variances, drafts the plain-language narrative and delivers an editable draft to the CFO on the first business day after close.
Expected result: Expected saving of 2 to 4 CFO-days per month, which on an annual basis means 24 to 48 days recovered for higher-value tasks. Reduced risk of manual transcription error. Indicative figures, to be refined in the Discovery.
Example 2 Small wealth holding with 5 companies and 50 active suppliers
Problem: Without a structured finance department, recurring invoices (maintenance, utilities, professional services) are approved with little systematic review. Duplicates, amount errors or suppliers with atypical behaviour only occasionally surface in the annual audit. The damage is already done.
Proposed solution: AP anomaly pilot on dvinvoice-hub. The model learns from the intercompany invoicing history and flags likely duplicates, off-pattern amounts and suppliers with atypical behaviour, all as a layer in front of the CFO's approval.
Expected result: Expected anticipated detection of 80% to 95% of the duplicates and amount errors that today reach the audit. Added processing time per invoice under five seconds for the AI layer. Indicative figures, to be validated against your data.
Example 3 Family Office with several active generations and 20 years of archive
Problem: All historical FO documentation (contracts, deeds, letters, tax planning of the last 20 years) sits in SharePoint with good structure but its retrieval still depends on the FO director, who knows where each thing lives. Operational continuity against a possible replacement is a risk.
Proposed solution: Internal RAG assistant pilot on the FO's document repository. Vector indexing with Azure AI Search, connection to Copilot Studio and deployment as a conversational agent accessible to the team according to permissions. Semantic search with verbatim quote and source traceability.
Expected result: Expected 70% to 90% reduction in document search time. Significant mitigation of the operational continuity risk by capturing explicit knowledge today concentrated in people. Indicative figures, to be refined in the Discovery.
What AI will NOT do for you in family office
Honesty before hype. Four things AI does not solve in a family office, no matter how
much Discovery we run.
- It doesn’t replace the wealth, tax or investment decision. AI
proposes the executive summary, flags anomalies and consults documentation. Selling
an asset, restructuring the group, planning succession or taking on an investment
risk stays with the Principal, the CFO and their advisors. AI accelerates the
preparation; it doesn’t sit on the board.
- It doesn’t replace the financial lawyer or tax advisor. The RAG
assistant retrieves and cites the contractual clause or the tax plan. Legal
interpretation and the tax decision stay with the professional. In wealth this is
also a reasonable prudence requirement: no one should delegate a deed interpretation
to a model.
- It doesn’t fix a badly structured wealth holding. If the accounting
consolidation isn’t clean, if group companies aren’t well delimited or if analytical
accounting doesn’t reach cost-centre level, AI learns on noisy data and proposes
badly. BC + dvfinance + dvproject-patrimonio need to be tidy first. AI accelerates
what works; it doesn’t rescue what doesn’t.
- It doesn’t replace the personal relationship with the Principal.
However good the automated executive summary, the human contact between the CFO or
FO director and the Principal stays at the core of the service. AI gives the CFO
back the time for that relationship; it doesn’t get in between.
How we kick off an AI project in family office
Three phases of the Davisa AI Studio method, adapted to the specifics of family
office: confidentiality, small team profile and the need to involve the Principal at
decision points.
1 Discovery
5 days
Discreet sessions with the FO director, the CFO or controller and the financial
lawyer. Audit of the data in BC + dvproject-patrimonio + dvfinance, mapping of the
confidential document repository and selection of the pilot case with KPI target.
Validation of the permissions model before any indexing.
Deliverable: prioritised AI roadmap and selected pilot case.
2 Pilot
8 weeks · fixed scope
Development of the chosen case end-to-end on-tenant. Azure OpenAI deployment in
your subscription, indexing with SharePoint-inherited permissions, fine-tuning
with feedback from the small FO team and final validation with the Principal
before going to production.
Deliverable: case in production + measured KPI.
3 Scaling
ongoing
Expansion of the indexed document corpus, incorporation of new sources (private
bank portfolio, market data), rollout of the next roadmap case (from executive
summary to AP anomalies, or the reverse) and progressive capture of key people’s
knowledge as continuity risk mitigation.
Deliverable: full FO coverage + monthly KPI.
Frequently asked questions
Does the Family Office's confidential documentation leave the tenant to train the model?
No. All AI infrastructure runs inside the family office's Azure tenant or a managed tenant under your contractual terms. Contracts, deeds, letters to the Principal, board minutes and wealth planning are indexed on-tenant with Azure AI Search. Embeddings are generated in Azure OpenAI Service deployed in your subscription. No documentation is sent to public OpenAI, third-party models or used for external training. Strict GDPR compliance and full traceability of which document the model consulted in each answer.
Who can access the assistant and with what permissions?
Access control is granular and inherits from the SharePoint and Business Central permissions already in place in the family office. Each user only sees and queries the documents and data they already had access to outside the assistant. The Principal and FO management have full access; the wealth controller has the financial scope; the financial lawyer has the legal scope; the administrative team has the operational perimeter. The audit log records who asked what and what the model answered.
Does AI replace the CFO or FO director?
No. AI removes low-value repetitive work (manual composition of the executive summary, document search, first-pass review of intercompany expenses) and frees up CFO or director time for strategic analysis and relationship with the Principal. The wealth, tax or investment decision stays human. A family office with AI doesn't need fewer CFOs: it needs a CFO less swamped by daily operations and more focused on the board and planning.
Does it make sense if the wealth holding is small, with only 4 or 5 companies?
It depends on the case. Invoice automation and AP anomaly detection pay back from month one even with a small perimeter, because the solution cost is low and the cost of a wealth error is high. The RAG assistant over internal documentation also works in small holdings where knowledge is concentrated in one or two people and generational continuity is a risk. The automated executive summary delivers less return until the monthly information volume justifies the setup effort. The Discovery decides case by case.
How does it fit with an external consolidator or the private bank platform?
The AI Studio doesn't compete with your financial consolidator or your private bank reporting platform. It integrates. The AI layer reads the live data in BC + dvproject-patrimonio (which is where you have your own accounting consolidation, the companies, the real-estate assets, the contracts), enriches it with internal documentation and composes the executive summary for the Principal, adding the private bank market data via API if you wish. The consolidator keeps consolidating; the bank keeps reporting; AI adds sector analysis and plain-language narrative on your concrete reality.
