Donald R. Rice, CFP, AIF
Chairman & CEO
Donald co-founded Money Management Services, in 1992. Although Money Management Services was not the first federally “Registered Investment Advisor” in the state of Alabama, it was a move that was on the leading edge of the financial industry. So, why would anyone take on more risk such as “fiduciary liability” and “discretionary authority”, for less pay? Donald’s response was “because it is in the best interest of the client”.
