Managing bills can be overwhelming and failing to pay them timely can lead to unnecessary fees and anxiety. Everyday Money Management daily money managers help monitor and pay incoming bills and quarterly taxes, so our clients stay on top of financial obligations and catch any unusual activity in their accounts.

We balance checking accounts and reconcile credit card statements monthly, either by hand or using personal financial software such as Quicken.Fraud review
We review monthly statements as well as credit reports and monitor accounts for unusual activity.
Mail Management
With so much junk mail coming in daily, it is often difficult to recognize an important bill or notice. Charity requests can also fill up your mailbox.

For clients who can no longer manage their mail at home, Everyday Money Management will arrange to receive bills, statements, and other business mail at our office.
