Bridging Generational Wealth™

Multi-Family Office

Cannataro Family Capital Partners

Mission: Family is always forged of unique circumstances and has their own version of financial success and security. Capital and family wealth must be protected, maximized, and effectively passed down to a well-educated next generation. Partners are imperative for successful financial planning and execution. The process is very personal, and it is handled most efficiently within a team approach. We collaborate with our clients, family members, and their other trusted advisors. We understand that wealth is more than just financial capital. It is also comprised of intergenerational knowledge, values, experiences, and relationships. Our commitment to these beliefs is reflected not only in our name, national recognition, but most importantly is what our Family of Clients’ value in our advice and service over the last 30 years. 

We have one of the best teams around

We've been recognized not only by our family of clients, but by the Financial Times as one of the top advisors in the country. Additionally, Lou Cannataro has been named by Forbes as a top wealth advisor and top financial security professional. Many thanks to our incredible clients and hardworking team. We couldn’t have done it without you.

Nationally recognized and award winning, Cannataro Family Capital Partners (CFCP™) receives further recognition with advisor being named Forbes Top 250 Financial Security Professionals 2021 across the country, and Forbes Best-In-State Wealth Advisor 2022.

The Top 250 Financial Security Professionals list recognizes high-performing individuals within the financial industry based on very selective criteria including: industry experience, revenue, assets under management, client loyalty, compliance record, community involvement and best practices, among others. Honorees provide holistic planning, focusing on highly skilled financial advice, and risk mitigation.

These accolades come on the heels of CFCP™ also receiving the honor of Financial Times’ Top 400 Advisor the last three prior years ('21, '20, '19) and coincides with their 30th anniversary.

Founding Partner, Lou Cannataro (ChFC®, REBC®, AEP®, CASL®, CLU®, CLTC®, ChSNC®, RICP®, WMCP®, MBA)says, “when considering the relationships developed between CFCP™’s clients, their family members and other trusted advisors, the only word that truly fits is: FAMILY.” For 30 years now, Lou and his team at CFCP™ have cultivated a dynamic firm that efficiently and effectively protects, manages, and grows family wealth. Partner Aaron Bell (ChFC®, CLU®, CLTC®, CIMA®, RICP®, WMCP®, MA) adds, “just as important, CFCP™ is also the trusted advisor tasked in not only educating and working alongside the decision makers within each family, but a pivotal player in bridging generational wealth™ from one generation to the next.”

“We are proud that CFCP™ has chosen to be a part of our Northwestern Family for over 30 years,” says John Schlifske, CEO of Northwestern Mutual, “and continues to not only be a dominant force in their clients lives, but also a leading advisory team in our elite private client group. We wish them much continued success!” Christian Mitchell, Chief Customer Officer goes on to say, “CFCP™ has become one of Northwestern’s most sophisticated and successful private client group offices in the country.”

In response to the esteem and acknowledgment, Lou simply shares, “the body of work developed over the last 30 years, the three-generation-deep relationships, and client testimonials are all the recognition Team CFCP™ needs to be empowered, and stay the course for our clients! Adding the national recognition and awards earned over the years, is motivating, but in the end: nowhere as important as what clients have to say about CFCP™.

“We would like to recognize our clients and thank them for the honor and privilege in becoming a part of their family…here’s to another 30 years!” -Lou & The CFCP™ Team
