The biggest handover in our history is coming - and most aren’t ready

After nearly three decades with Boyce, I’ve sat across kitchen tables and boardroom tables watching the same moment play out - a founder ready to step back, the next generation trying to step up, and a business caught somewhere in between.

Across regional Australia, more than $3.5 trillion will change hands by 2045. That’s not just wealth. It’s livelihoods, legacies and leadership, and without a plan, it can all come unstuck.

For 50 years, Boyce has guided multi-generational agribusinesses, regional businesses, and high-net-worth families through succession. But it’s no longer just about wealth transfer - it’s about protecting the continuity of businesses, cultures and values that have taken lifetimes to build.

The challenge is that too often, families receive siloed advice - accountants, lawyers, and financial planners working in isolation. The result? Gaps, confusion, and decisions made without a shared strategy.

That’s why we’ve built Boyce Generational Strategy - a practical way to help organisations manage transition, growth and leadership together.

Instead of treating succession, strategy and next-generation development as separate conversations, Generational Strategy brings everything together in one coordinated plan - with Boyce leading a multidisciplinary team across business, financial, legal, governance and people.

It also supports the frameworks that keep families and enterprises aligned long after the handover - family charters, boards and advisory structures that protect relationships and preserve continuity.

I’ve watched founders, children and now grandchildren grow with Boyce. Generational Strategy gives them a clear path and the support to do it their way - ensuring the future is not only protected, but actively shaped and confidently managed.

Boyce began in Cooma 50 years ago and has grown to a top 40 firm with 12 principals and 160 people from Moree to Bega. We’ve always been about partnership - and Generational Strategy is the next evolution of that promise.
