HQ never moving money about (5,6)

I believe the answer is:

nerve centre

I'm a little stuck... Click here to teach me more about this clue!

'hq' is the definition.

'never moving money about' is the wordplay.
I cannot really understand how this works, but
an anagram of 'never' is 'nerve' which is located in the answer.
'money' could be 'cent' (eg denomination of dollars) and 'cent' is found within the answer.
'about' could be 're' (common abbreviation for 'with reference to') and 're' is found within the answer.
This accounts for all the letters.
This explanation may well be incorrect...

Can you help me to learn more?
