Bills are piling up. Mail is unopened. And nobody is watching the accounts.

Elder financial exploitation cost American seniors an estimated $81.5 billion in 2024 — the fastest-growing crime category targeting people over 60. But for most families, the crisis starts much earlier: missed payments, duplicate charges, a surviving spouse who has never paid a bill, adult children with no way to know what's happening from a thousand miles away. Granitefield Financial is the team watching the accounts every month. We catch what everyone else misses.

Bills Getting Missed

Utilities, insurance premiums, medical invoices, and property costs need consistent oversight before late notices become crises.

Elder Financial Exploitation

Unauthorized charges, duplicate payments, suspicious transfers, and pressure from others require monthly monitoring and fast reporting.

Surviving Spouses Paralyzed

A spouse who has never handled the household finances may need patient, documented administrative support.

Adult Children Far Away

Families need structured reporting and secure document access when they cannot be present for every bill, statement, or appointment.

Cognitive Decline Goes Undetected

Changes in payment patterns, unopened mail, and unusual transactions can indicate risks that need early communication.

Trustees Need Defensible Records

Trustees, guardians, and fiduciaries need clear documentation that can be reviewed by attorneys, families, and courts.

What We Deliver

Structured financial administration, documented every month.

Granitefield Financial provides the operational layer that keeps household finances organized, visible, secure, and reportable.

Bill Payment Oversight

Systematic management of all recurring and one-time bills. Documented approval workflows with on-time payment verification.

Monthly Account Reconciliation

Structured reconciliation of all bank and credit accounts against statements. Discrepancies and irregular activity identified and reported every month.

Financial Document Organization

Centralized filing of all statements, tax records, insurance policies, and correspondence via encrypted SmartVault portal.

Professional Coordination & Reporting

Monthly financial reports delivered to attorneys, CPAs, and advisors. Documentation organized for attorney or court review for trustees and fiduciaries.

Fraud & Irregularity Monitoring

Ongoing review of every transaction for unauthorized activity, unusual patterns, and elder financial exploitation. Flagged immediately — not at year end.

Fiduciary Work

Granitefield may accept appointments as financial agent under POA, trustee, executor or personal representative, guardian, or conservator when properly authorized and after the engagement is accepted in writing. Granitefield also provides administrative support to family members and professionals already serving in these roles.

Your clients have financial administration needs that fall outside your scope. Bills aren't getting paid. Documents are in shoeboxes. The trustee is reconciling accounts at 11pm. Granitefield handles the financial operations layer — without duplicating your legal, investment, or advisory role.
