About Our FMS Agency
You Matter. We Care.
Consumer Directions provides a continuum of financial management services that empower individuals needing personal assistance or support in their home and who want to self-direct their services. Our services are an alternative, cost-effective option to traditional agency services. We support individuals and families caring for a loved one who desire enhanced choice and control over decision and budget-making authority, want to select and hire their support workers, and want the flexibility and responsibility to direct their own services and supports.
CDI is a leading and certified FMS (Financial Management Service) provider. With award-winning excellence, CDI is one of the main proponents and leader of participant direction in Minnesota. CDI is committed to advocating and supporting individuals and families who want the authority to self-direct and control their services, rather than relying on a traditional agency.
We support individuals in their selection and hiring of workers they know and trust; they set worker pay rates and schedules. CDI comes alongside to serve as the employer agent by paying workers and handling employment paperwork and payroll reporting and bookkeeping.
CDI fully supports individuals in their choices by providing access to accurate and responsive customer service without bureaucratic layers or red tape. Our team of industry experts has a long history of passionately working to empower Minnesota families to navigate their journey in participant-direction.
CDI brings a strong accounting and tax acumen and strategic vision of collaboration and expansion of participant direction.
Providing financial management services is much more than accounting to us, it’s all we do, it’s what we are passionate about; giving 100% of our focus and attention.
