A legacy of enterprise and clear thinking

Beatrice Advisors takes its name from TLC Beatrice International, once the largest Black-owned business in the United States. In 1987, TLC Group, L.P., was founded by the late Reginald F. Lewis, a groundbreaking lawyer and entrepreneur. His acquisition of Beatrice International Foods became the largest offshore leveraged buyout by an American company.
After Mr. Lewis’s passing in 1993, his widow, Loida Lewis, became chief executive. She oversaw the successful liquidation of the company in 1999, returning meaningful value to shareholders. Their approach—discipline, judgment, and long‑term orientation—remains foundational to how we think at Beatrice Advisors today.

Why christina built Beatrice

Christina Lewis founded Beatrice Advisors after years of managing her own family’s financial affairs and working closely with various families, founders, and organizations. Through these experiences, she saw persistent gaps in traditional wealth management:

Fragmented services

Advice lacking full financial context

Limited tax awareness

Minimal coordination across advisors

Lack of diverse perspectives in decision-making

Beatrice Advisors was created as a modern alternative: an investment‑led multi-family office that integrates portfolio construction, tax‑aware strategy, and coordinated advisory into a single, thoughtful system. The firm reflects Christina’s belief that families deserve clarity, institutional‑level thinking, and execution that matches the complexity of their lives.

A Symbol of Stewardship

Our logo carries meaning that reflects both where we come from and how we work:

Shield: Guardianship, stewardship, and strength

Rising lines: Legacy and generational progression

Uneven stairs: Reference to Reginald F. Lewis’s favored Langston Hughes line, “Life for me ain’t been no crystal stair.”

North Star: Clarity, guidance, and long-term orientation

Custom angles: Unify the wordmark with the geometry of the star

“Our family office provides access to the same team, resources, and network I use to manage my own money—and my vision for Beatrice is to share that with others.”
