Clarity for Complex Wealth
Bespoke Strategic Advisory for Families & Founders
I founded Mana Ventures to provide bespoke support to individuals, families, and founders at moments when clear thinking and trusted guidance matter most.
Personal ventures, philanthropic interests, private company investments, liquidity events and guiding the next generation. I believe in cutting through the complexity with practical, empowering advice.
I collaborate closely with existing advisers including private client solicitors, family offices, trust companies, and wealth managers to provide a unique independent perspective. By simplifying complexity and resolving issues that sit between traditional remits, I problem solve and help clients move forward with clarity and confidence over the long term.
Dedicated, Personal Engagements
Gareth Davies ACA, Partner
I am a PwC-trained Chartered Accountant with over two decades of experience working closely with affluent families, founders, and business leaders on complex personal and financial matters.
I work directly and personally with clients, often over many years, acting as a trusted point of reference alongside their existing professional teams. My role is to bring clarity, judgement, and perspective where financial, business, and personal considerations intersect.
I have supported prominent families, entrepreneurs, and sports personalities across the US, UK, Europe, and the Middle East, always with the highest levels of discretion. My approach is selective, relationship-led, and grounded in deep experience from the world’s leading professional services environments.
“Gareth is one of the three people I trust most in this world.”
