Tony Bogod

Resonance Partners LLP (previously Cordiant Partners) was formed by Tony Bogod in 2009.

Tony has 25 years’ experience working with family businesses, private family offices and wealthy families, both as an external adviser and consultant. Over the last 15 years he has also worked as CEO of a substantial family office. During this time, Tony has worked with many of UK and Ireland’s largest family businesses and offices helping them deal with the challenges that come with diverse corporate and personal financial interests, and inter family ownership of business and wealth.

These challenges, which can require strong facilitation, include:

  • working closely with legal and tax advisers on specific areas of interest and value to the private office
  • creating consensus governance models for the family’s long-term ownership of its business and assets
  • dealing with historic conflict and mistrust built up within the family
  • passing liquid wealth down the generations in a safe and ultimately successful way.

In addition to his 17 years as a partner at BDO working with clients on audit, taxation and corporate finance matters, Tony has held numerous roles including first Chairman of the Advisory Board of the Institute for Family Business, and Chief Executive of the BDO Centre for Family Business.  He has also developed and run training programmes for both the Family Firm Institute, of which he was one of the first UK Fellows, and internationally for BDO.  He is a frequent speaker on conferences and has overseen and published various materials on the sector, including significant research with academic bodies.

Tony is also an experienced member of Audit Committees, currently fulfilling this role at Premier League club Brentford FC, where he also works closely with the Chair and Finance Director on numerous tax related matters.
