Daily Money Managers are not financial advisors, and they do not take the place of attorneys, accountants, social workers, or geriatric care managers.  Rather, Daily Money Manager’s complement the services provided by these professionals by helping organize and accumulate information needed by these professionals for the client.

No, not at all.   A Daily Money Managers role is to assist their client in managing, controlling, and organizing their everyday financial matters.  In this manner, financial documentation will be in order for the client’s accountants, financial advisors, and other professionals as needed.  Daily Money Managers only sign checks on behalf of their client if they are a designated Attorney-in-Fact with such Power of Attorney powers or, Trustee.

Each client‘s needs and desires differ.  Visits are scheduled based on the client’s goals and needs.  Visits could be weekly, bi-weekly, or monthly to accomplish the goals of the client, and may change as the client’s goals change.  Clients with manual bill pay vs. bills that are managed automatically or online may require more time to accomplish their goals. Client visits may be more often when first hired, then decrease as systems are set up to automate or organization is restored.   Client financial tasks, paperwork organization and even mail can be managed remotely with use of internet access and a PO Box.
