The family office for everyone.

Your family’s financial home.

A staff that works only for your household watches every dollar, stops the leaks, and turns the paycheck into capital. Nothing moves until you both say yes.

Put your names on the door.

Starting at $249 a year. Both partners included.You leave with a charter you can print. No account.

The Money Date

Twenty minutes a week. This is what it looks like.

How the staff works for you

Zero commissions

No one on the staff earns a cent on what it recommends.

Two yeses

Every move waits for both partners. Nobody signs alone.

Private by design

Anonymized before processing and never used to train models.

Works only for the house

The staff answers to the household and to no one else.

The idea

The wealthiest families never managed their own money.

A staff did it for them. That staff started at $30 million.

Yours starts at $249 a year.

Same jobs. Now a staff does them for The Carter Family Office.

From $30,000,000 to $249 a year

Why this exists

You work more than ever. Wealth still feels out of reach.

The difference isn’t effort. It’s who has a staff.

What a family ownsWhat a family earns
A drawing of the idea, not a chart of data. Owning compounds. A paycheck doesn’t.

What you own grows faster than what you earn.

And most families own very little of what grows.

What the staff does first

Your money lives in twelve places.

Banks, cards, old jobs and a mortgage. Each with its own login.

The staff files every one.

Each account goes into one record, with a desk assigned to it.

One record. A desk on each.

Nothing moved. Every account is finally watched.

The staff

You sleep. The office doesn't.

Six managers report to Finn. Specialists report to the managers, and nobody goes around the chain. When the household's numbers make the case for a specialist, Finn shows the math and both partners decide. By morning the night's work fits in one short briefing.

What changes

A week has 168 hours.

Each tile is one hour. Run your cursor across them.

Money takes 7.7 of them.

That’s the average worker’s week on bills, logins and money worry.11

With a staff, it takes minutes.

About 11 minutes of yeses and one 20-minute Money Date.10

About seven hours back. Every week.

One morning in the house

The staff worked all night. You spend minutes.

One morning with Amanda and Josh Carter, an illustrative household.

6:00 AM

The books closed overnight.

Every account, debt and policy sits in one record both partners see. Nobody had to log in to six places to find out where the month stands.

Built for the family

6:02 AM

The daily briefing.

Four pages written overnight for one house. Read it, hear Finn read it on the drive, or print it.

Families spend 7.7 hours a week on money.11 The briefing gives that time back.

Time back

7:52 AM

Text with Finn.

Amanda sent Finn a voice note about the car insurance. He pulled three quotes with the same coverage. Josh said yes at 7:52, Amanda a minute later, and it was done.

Only 9% of iPhone users still open a finance app on day 30. Texts get read.

A staff that acts

Bank and invest

Bank, invest, credit. One place.

Every account you own, on one screen, with a desk on each one. Idle cash moves to the reserve. Retirement takes the full match. The brokerage stays on the policy you signed.

Merger BankThe paycheck splits into bills, reserve and a vault for each goal. Opening
Merger InvestEvery payday invested under the policy both partners signed. Opening
CreditEvery card and loan, watched for the next better rate.

Drag to turn. Illustrative household. Merger Bank and Merger Invest have their own pages.

The Money Date

Once a week, the house meets.

The Money Date is the household’s standing meeting. Finn leads it every week: the week’s numbers framed as a team, one focus for the week ahead, and a short recap you both keep.

  1. Finn sets the agenda. Drawn from the week, so neither of you plays accountant.
  2. You both show up. Twenty quiet minutes, the two of you.
  3. You decide together. One focus for the week ahead.
  4. The staff carries it out. Agree once and the work is done.

Experts on call

When a gap needs a person, Finn brings one in.

Licensed coaches, therapists and advisors work from the Pro Desk. With both partners' yes, the pro reads the record before the first session, so nobody starts from zero. Two yeses add a pro, with no fee to the house.

As a product manager at Microsoft, I'm always looking for clarity and balance. Merger helps me organize my finances, stay confident about my goals, and build the kind of healthy money habits I'll carry into my future relationship.

I've seen friends struggle with money and lose their sense of freedom. Merger helps me stay ahead, giving me peace, structure, and the confidence to build better habits for myself and my future relationship.

Danielle & Dustin
I grew up in a single-parent home where money was always tight and rarely discussed. Dustin was taught to save and invest early. Merger helps us bridge those differences, communicate better, and build a stronger financial example for our daughter.
Danielle & DustinRound Rock, Texas
Dustin & Sydney
So many of us don't have parents or mentors to turn to for financial guidance: we're figuring it out on our own. Merger has changed that for me. It brings real clarity to my life. As someone balancing a business, real estate, and a nursing career, it helps us find alignment and confidence in our goals before we even tie the knot.

Merger gives us real visibility into where our money goes. As we prepare to bring a baby into the world, it's helping us build awareness, balance, and smarter financial habits together.

Keyshawn & Matti
We both grew up where money was stressful, and coming from a single-parent household, money seemed like it was everything. Merger gives my wife and me the tools to communicate openly and calmly about our finances. It's easing financial tension and helping us build trust, understanding, and confidence together.
Keyshawn & MattiDallas, Texas
Austin & Tiffany
We've used every app out there and yet still couldn't align on financial decisions. It wasn't until we were able to use the weekly check-ins from Merger to go beyond the numbers and see each other as more than who spent what.

Running a business, working in tech, and raising two kids keeps life moving fast. Merger brings everything into one place, giving us transparency, clarity, and the confidence to build a lasting financial legacy for our family's future.
