F/B/O Services
F/B/O Services was founded by Joseph W. Roskos after his tenure leading Joseph W. Roskos & Co. at Bryn Mawr Bank Corp. The firm operates from a single office in King of Prussia, Pennsylvania, and positions itself as a conflict-free provider of outsourced family-office administration. Unlike most multi-family offices, it does not manage client investments or sell financial products, which eliminates the incentive structures common in wealth management practices. Roskos leads a team of CPAs, attorneys, and finance professionals who act as the operational layer for personal wealth structures. The firm's core work spans three areas: family-office administration and accounting, personal and business tax preparation, and bespoke specialty assignments for high-net-worth families. Rather than pursuing private equity, venture capital, hedge funds, real estate, or direct co-investments, F/B/O Services focuses entirely on the fiduciary mechanics — bill payment, entity-level bookkeeping, trust accounting, regulatory reporting, and estate-flow coordination. Its client base includes individual trustees who need support discharging their legal duties, as well as families that require full outsourced CFO and tax functions. Confirmed business-partner relationships include the Margaret Dorrance Strawbridge family and the Flagler family, for whom the firm provides administrative and officer services for foundations and related entities. Team scale and growth metrics are not publicly disclosed, though the firm participates actively in peer networks. F/B/O Services is a member of the Family Office Exchange, the Palm Beach Hedge Fund Association's family-office directory, and the Independent Trustee Alliance, where Evan Roskos holds membership. The firm maintains a foundation-services relationship with the Margaret Dorrance Strawbridge Foundation of PA II Inc., providing administration and officer support that extends its model into philanthropic governance. No adjacent investment vehicles, club-deal structures, or co-investment platforms are known to exist. F/B/O Services stands apart structurally because it has no investment function at all. Its mandate ends where asset management begins, giving it a pure-fiduciary architecture rarely seen in the multi-family-office landscape. For families whose wealth is already allocated and governed, the firm supplies the ongoing administrative and tax-compliance infrastructure without competing for investment discretion or custody of the assets.

Frequently asked questions
Does F/B/O Services manage investments or recommend managers?
No. F/B/O Services is a pure-fiduciary administration and tax firm. It explicitly does not engage in any investment activities, including manager selection, direct co-investments, fund commitments, or asset allocation. The firm tags private equity, venture capital, hedge funds, real estate, private credit, and all other investment categories as 'Negative investment types' in its Altss research record.
Who runs investment decisions for the families it serves?
Investment decisions remain with each family's own trustees, investment committees, or separate external advisors. F/B/O Services provides the administrative, accounting, and tax-compliance infrastructure but does not participate in investment governance or decision-making.
What exactly does F/B/O Services do for the individual trustee?
The firm handles trust accounting, bill payment, regulatory reporting, entity-level bookkeeping, tax preparation, and estate-flow coordination. It acts as the operational staff for trustees who are personally liable for these tasks under fiduciary law, allowing them to satisfy their duties without building an in-house back office.
How does the firm maintain its conflict-free claim if it also prepares taxes and does planning?
F/B/O Services operates on a fee-only basis and sells no financial products. Because it does not manage assets or earn commissions from investment activity, its tax, planning, and administrative advice is structurally separated from product-distribution incentives. This aligns with the independent-trustee model it serves.
Which families or foundations is F/B/O Services known to serve?
Confirmed business-partner relationships include the Margaret Dorrance Strawbridge family and its affiliated foundation, as well as the Flagler family. The firm provides administrative and officer services for these families' entities and was previously noted in a 2017 Philadelphia Business Journal article as serving the Strawbridge family.
Is F/B/O Services a single-family office or does it serve multiple families?
It is a multi-family office. F/B/O Services serves multiple unrelated high-net-worth families, individual trustees, and their related entities from its King of Prussia headquarters.
Does the firm maintain any philanthropic structures, and how are they kept separate?
The firm provides administrative and officer services to the Margaret Dorrance Strawbridge Foundation of PA II Inc. These services are delivered by the same professional team but operate under the foundation's own governance, with F/B/O Services functioning as an outsourced administrative provider rather than a controlling entity.
