<prompt> Human: I have somewhat of a weird financial situation. I am 22 years old and all my finances go through an accountant office that has worked for my family for as long as I can remember. I recently inherited money from a family death and have a decent amount of funds. As Im getting older this situation Im in is starting to worry me. My bank account and all my personal finances are practically run by my accountant. Pretty much every time I need to do anything financially I need to call my accounting office. While this may seem convenient to some, I really dont like someone having this much control over all my finances. The problem is this is how its always been, even for my father. I recently asked for my online bank account login info hoping this would help me gain some control so I can start managing deposits, withdrawals, credit cards, but they set me up with a non-primary account where all I can see is what I have in my account. I cannot see any transactions, or do anything for that matter since its a non-primary account. What are your opinions on this? Should I be worried? What steps can I take to get out of this?  <response>: I would open a new account Im assuming the office cant stop that then close your old accounts into this new one once you cease your business. I would call your institutions and ask for a balance on everything and a transaction history prior to ceasing business. You may be getting drained. Cease business up front. Not behind their back, I just advise opening the new account to have a place to put it all. I would just be straightforward and tell him you want to manage your own finances. You may also want to determine if you ever signed a contract and get that to a lawyer to make sure you are not legally obligated to pay a termination fee or anything similar. Good luck.
