Registered Client Service Associate

Honolulu Financial Partners | East Oahu, Hawaii | On-site

About Our Firm

Honolulu Financial Partners is a boutique wealth management firm at the Summit level with LPL, working with clients across Hawaii and the mainland — primarily retirees and families managing inherited assets.

We are a team of three licensed professionals and two administrative staff. Our senior advisor has 45 years of experience and holds the CFP and AIF designations. Our lead client-contact advisor holds an MBA, JD, and CFP, with 13 years as a registered advisor. Our operations manager handles inbound client requests and assists clients with consolidating and transferring assets.

Two things make us exceptional. First, our partners pool income rather than being compensated on what they individually sell — we partner with each other, not compete. Second, we are deliberately old-fashioned:  we answer the phone within three rings, we mail letters with envelopes and stamps, and we choose personal over efficient. Gratitude, appreciation, and support are the working culture here.
