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!

We focus on providing honest and personalized life and financial guidance, as independent fiduciary advisors and coaches, to help you achieve your most abundant life. We are comprised of our CEO who is a CPA/PFS, CFP and have psychologists on board for financial and life coaching to accompany our technical advising. Our founder, Abel Soares III, had the vision to build a group of member firms where he would be able to share and utilize his knowledge to give back to those trying to better themselves and their lives. As a devoted husband and proud father of two boys, Abel set out to start a business where he could build a legacy for his family and be available for his family and clients. Abel is part Native Hawai'ian; and he grew up in Southern California, Idaho, and Oahu, Hawai'i. Abel obtained his Masters in Accounting Taxation from Boise State University and went on to work for regional and international CPA and Consulting firms for over 5 years. In these roles, he learned a great deal about various types of business models, industries and the secrets to success. He started his own successful tax and consulting business after obtaining his CPA (Certified Public Accounting License), and soon after discovered his true passion in personal financial planning. After a total of 8 years in the accounting and financial arena, his vision began to grow on how he could best serve clients. Once he obtained his CFP (Certified Financial Planner) and PFS (Personal Financial Specialist) designations, his vision for Hui Malama Advisors LLC and the member firms started coming into focus. Along the way, he noticed that the biggest factor of effective financial management, outside of being educated about finances, was the individual's mindset. This meant that someone with expertise in addressing the human psyche was necessary to provide a more holistic approach to financial planning. Abel set out to find business partners who could help him turn his dreams into a reality. He naturally started with his best partner of all – his wife, Sadé - who is currently completing her doctoral degree in clinical psychology. Together, they made Abel’s vision a reality by incorporating both financial and life coaching; and Hui Malama Advisors LLC was born. Abel has paved his own path into the world of entrepreneur-ism and has also invested in other businesses. He looks forward to using his years of experience in financial planning, consulting, and accounting to assist you in living your most abundant life through The Hui Malama Advisors LLC member firms.
