Hi! I’m Daniel Masuda Lehrman, a fee-only fiduciary financial planner based in Honolulu, Hawaii. I'm originally from Ann Arbor, Michigan and a proud University of Michigan alum. I work with clients locally in Honolulu and virtually nationwide. With nearly 10 years of experience as a financial advisor at the Big Three (Vanguard, Fidelity, Schwab), I’ve helped hundreds of families retire successfully or manage their wealth responsibly. Financial planning isn’t just about investments—it’s about making informed decisions that impact every aspect of your life. From retirement planning and tax strategies to managing risks and ensuring your estate is in order, a truly comprehensive financial plan should bring all the pieces together. Following the CFP Board’s Financial Planning Process, I work closely with my clients to evaluate their full financial picture and create strategies tailored to their goals. Whether you’re planning for retirement, adjusting after the loss of a spouse, or navigating major financial transitions, I provide clear, objective guidance to help you move forward with confidence. I serve retirees, widows, and those preparing for retirement, both locally in Honolulu, Hawaii, and virtually across the country. My goal is to simplify complex financial decisions so you can focus on what matters most. Clients I’ve worked with were looking for a good listener who was honest, knowledgeable, anticipated their needs, skilled at explaining concepts in layman's terms, and could confidently help them make good financial decisions. They’ll tell you I helped them transition into a new phase of life or enjoy their retirement with confidence and certainty. So whatever you’re dealing with, you can trust that I’ll connect with you on a human level and be there for you. If that resonates with you, I’d love to talk to you!
