About Centry

Centry brings tax and wealth advice into one coordinated system.

Centry was built for globally mobile founders, investors and families whose financial lives span countries, advisers, entities and asset classes. Our role is to reduce fragmentation, organise the full picture and keep tax, wealth, estate and investment decisions moving together.

Values

The operating principles behind the company.

Effectiveness Over Effort

Measure What Matters

We track the right obligations, assumptions, owners and outcomes so plans can improve over time.

Trust is built through privacy, judgement, follow-through and clear ownership.

Our story

Built from first-hand experience.

Brad had scaled companies, worked in finance and lived across multiple countries. When he reviewed his own wealth across assets, jurisdictions and tax regimes, the problem was not a lack of advisers. It was the absence of one coordinated picture.

He began building a system that could bring tax and wealth information together, preserve context and make priorities easier to act on.

After moving to Cascais, he met Rupert, who had reached a similar conclusion from the founder side. Through YC's co-founder matching network, they began working on the same problem from complementary angles.

Centry is the result: a human-led, technology-enabled way to coordinate complex private wealth across borders.

Starting point

Strong advisers can still leave families without one clear view.

Conviction

Tax and wealth decisions should be reviewed in the same conversation.
