Itura Advisory — Counsel for Enterprising Families

The approach

On the family's side of the table.

Itura is counsel for enterprising families through the building years — not only once the wealth is at rest. I sit beside the family, coordinating the specialists across every jurisdiction it touches, so the family itself remains the architect of its own continuity.

Aligned with the family

The family's side of the table

Counsel to the family and no one else — working alongside your lawyers, tax advisors, and bankers, coordinating them, never replacing them.

Order of operations

Structure follows covenant

I begin with the family's shared understanding — its values, intentions, and agreements — and design the ownership and governance to serve it. The covenant leads; the structure follows — and who belongs is settled before who owns.

Built to cross borders

Designed for more than one country

For families whose wealth — and whose rising generation — span borders. Succession, governance, and ownership designed for that reality.

The tools were ours first.

The architecture for holding wealth across generations — the circle that carried a community’s credit, the compound that held land for those not yet born, the apprenticeship that taught and handed on a craft, the stool that outlived whoever sat on it — was African long before it was formalised elsewhere.

I design from that original: stewardship, restored for how families build and pass on wealth now.

Counsel only — no products, no custody, no capital in transit. Advice without conflict.

Founder & Principal

Nikè Anani

I have sat on nearly every side of the table I now advise. I grew up inside a family business in Nigeria, built and led its single-family office as a next-generation principal, and later advised rising-generation families around the world — and today I'm a first-generation builder myself. I trained at Deloitte in London in international corporate tax and transfer pricing — the mechanics of value moving across borders — and qualified as a chartered accountant with the ICAEW. I am the author of Lifetime to Legacy: From Family Enterprise to Family Institution (Itura Press, 2026).

That vantage is the reason Itura exists. I know the building years from the borrower's side, the family office from the inside, and the weight of being handed responsibility — so I sit beside the family, keep the whole architecture in view, and make certain the specialists each jurisdiction requires are working from the same map.

My focus is families whose wealth must cross borders to do its work — and especially those still building, who mean it to become an institution, not only an estate.
