Client Services Associate

Join a small, close-knit wealth management team where clients are known by name, the work is collaborative, and nobody is chasing a sales quota.

Honolulu Financial Partners is an independent wealth management firm overseeing approximately $480 million for retirees and families in Hawaii and on the mainland, many of them planning retirement income or managing inherited assets. We are affiliated with LPL Financial and rank among its top-performing independent offices nationally.

We are a team of five: three licensed professionals and two client service staff. Our senior advisor brings 45 years of experience and holds the CFP® and AIF® designations. Our lead advisor holds an MBA, JD, and CFP®, with 13 years as a registered advisor.

• Team over territory. Our licensed team works as one book rather than competing on individual production, so everyone is pulling in the same direction: taking great care of clients.
• Personal service is the point. When clients call, they reach a real person who knows them. We would rather take the time to get something right than rush it.
• A relaxed, friendly office. Casual, collaborative, and dog-friendly. Appreciation and support are part of the everyday culture here.
