What We Do?
Daily money management is the operational layer of a financial life. It includes the tasks that must be done correctly, on time, and consistently — but which are often overlooked or fragmented.
Our services include:
- Bill pay and cash flow administration
- Preparation and oversight of cash transfers
- Account organization and documentation
- Ongoing monitoring of accounts and activity
- Issue resolution with financial institutions
- Secure recordkeeping and audit trails
- Coordination with advisors, attorneys, and family members
We act as a steady presence, ensuring details are handled and nothing falls through the cracks.
Seasonal travel can make it difficult to manage routine financial administration from a distance. Timely bill payment, accurate recordkeeping, and document access remain essential regardless of location.
Heart & Ledger provides ongoing financial organization and bill payment support to ensure continuity, accuracy, and reliable access to financial records while clients are away.
In many households, one individual serves as the primary manager of financial responsibilities. Changes in availability, health, or capacity can create challenges in maintaining consistency and oversight.
Heart & Ledger supports continuity by providing organized financial administration and clear documentation, helping ensure financial responsibilities are managed reliably and transparently.
Tax preparation often requires the timely collection of detailed financial documentation, increasingly in electronic form. Incomplete or disorganized records can delay preparation and increase administrative burden.
Heart & Ledger maintains organized, year-round financial records and prepares tax-related documentation in a clear, electronic format suitable for professional review, while preserving complete records for client reference.
Ongoing bookkeeping and financial organization require consistency and attention to detail, but can be time-consuming for individuals and households.
Heart & Ledger provides structured bookkeeping support, ensuring financial records are current, accurate, and well organized on a recurring basis.
Effective financial oversight benefits from clear cash-flow visibility and regular comparison of expected and actual activity.
Heart & Ledger prepares monthly cash-flow budgets and variance summaries, documenting trends and material differences to support client awareness and coordination with professional advisors.
Clients work with a dedicated point of contact who provides reliable communication, clear expectations, and timely follow-through.
Heart & Ledger emphasizes professionalism, discretion, and consistency, ensuring clients and their advisors have confidence in the accuracy and organization of financial information.
Summary
Heart & Ledger provides non-advisory financial administration and organization services designed to complement investment, tax, and legal professionals. Services are administrative in nature and performed at the direction of the client.
