Founded by Colin, a former corporate controller and luxury smart home executive, Grand Belle Lifestyle brings institutional-grade financial acumen and hands-on residential expertise to discerning families and family offices — seamlessly managing the complexity of extraordinary properties and the lives they support.
Colin believes that the management of significant properties and personal assets deserves the same rigor, transparency, and strategic thinking applied to any well-run enterprise. Too often, the operational side of high-net-worth living — from estate budgets and vendor oversight to smart home systems and renovation management — is handled reactively and without clear financial controls.
His background bridges two worlds: institutional finance, where he served as Controller overseeing multimillion-dollar operations, PE transactions, and financial systems — and luxury residential technology at one of Boston's most respected smart home integrators. This combination allows him to bring both the strategic lens of a CFO and the practical expertise of someone who understands how homes actually work at the highest level.
Budgeting, cash flow management, vendor payment processing, and financial reporting for your residences — bringing the same discipline expected of a corporate controller to your personal holdings.
End-to-end oversight of property operations — maintenance scheduling, renovation coordination, capital improvement planning, and staff management across single or multi-property portfolios.
Leveraging direct experience from a leading smart home integrator to plan, implement, and manage intelligent home systems — lighting, AV, security, climate, and network infrastructure.
Seamless integration with your existing family office, wealth advisors, and legal team. Colin serves as the operational layer that translates strategic priorities into day-to-day execution.
Rigorous procurement, contract negotiation, and project oversight for renovations, new construction, interior design engagements, and ongoing property services.
Travel coordination, event planning support, personal scheduling, and concierge-level service management — ensuring the details of daily life are handled with care and discretion.
We begin with a thorough understanding of your properties, staff, technology, financial landscape, and personal priorities — identifying what's working and where value can be created.
We establish clear systems — budgets, reporting cadences, vendor agreements, and operational playbooks — bringing order and transparency to every aspect of your lifestyle operations.
Day-to-day management with an ownership mentality. We handle the details so you don't have to, proactively anticipating needs and resolving issues before they surface.
Regular reviews and continuous improvement. As your needs change, we adapt — whether that's onboarding a new property, implementing new technology, or optimizing existing operations.
Whether you're seeking comprehensive residence management, financial oversight for your properties, or strategic guidance on smart home technology, we'd welcome the opportunity to learn about your needs.
