Who Should Hire a Daily Money Manager?

When I mention that I'm a daily money manager, I am often asked, "What exactly is that? Are you a financial advisor?" The short answer is that a daily money manager (DMM) is a professional who performs the day-to-day financial tasks for another individual. And no, we are not financial advisors.

Let’s dive deeper into what a DMM actually does for clients.

What is a Daily Money Manager (DMM)?

Think of a DMM as the household CFO for your personal finances. We keep your financial life running smoothly by handling the financial tasks that weigh you down.

So, what exactly do we do?

  • We pay bills on your behalf, saving you time and avoiding late fees.

  • We keep track of insurance paperwork and medical bills, ensuring everything gets paid on time.

  • Ever had a billing error? We follow up on your behalf to correct them.

  • We organize and manage your financial and tax documents.

  • Security matters. We make sure all your critical documents are stored safely.

  • We help you create and maintain a budget, so you know exactly what you spend each month.

  • We help you establish and maintain a mail management system.

Now, you might be thinking, "Do I need a financial advisor or a DMM?" The answer isn’t one or the other.

Financial advisors focus on long-term strategies and goals, while DMMs handle the day-to-day implementation of those plans. We work hand-in-hand to optimize your financial life.

Who are the typical DMM clients?

Clients can come from any background. Here are some examples of who could benefit from our services:
