Yesterday 06/09 was the second anniversary of the passing of our Founder, Les Andrews. I think Les would be proud to see the progress we have made as a team in the last two years. We hope to carry on Les' legacy of service for generations to come. Here is a photo from his final office birthday celebration.

My rockstar partner Travis Tsukayama, CFP(R), CFA(R) is celebrating NINE years with Andrews Advisory Associates, LLC as of tomorrow 06/08! I found this July 2015 vintage photo taken at our work building Century Square. ☺️

Our Weekly Team Meeting has recently moved back to the conference room - with Cherise still Zooming in from Portland OR! Today we welcomed our 7th team member, Wealth Manager Scott Tonai, CFP(R). From left to right: Cindy, Travis, Scott, Christina, Rick and Cherise (Owen Lahr is in California participating in a sailing competition).

We are thrilled to announce that Scott Tonai, CFP(R) joined our team today as a Wealth Manager. Scott was born and raised in Hawaii and graduated from UH Manoa Shidler College of Business. Scott earned his Certified Financial Planner Professional designation in 2019. Scott enjoys golfing, hiking and exploring new eateries around the island and abroad. Scott supports HUGS (Help, Understanding & Group Support) Hawaii. Their mission is to strengthen Hawaii’s families and improve their quality of life as they face the emotional and financial hardships of caring for a seriously ill child. Please help us welcome Scott to the team!

Tomorrow I am celebrating 17 years with Andrews Advisory Associates, LLC! I "cold called" Les Andrews after leaving my former employer, and he made a job for me. Now after Les' passing in 2022 I am the owner of the company along with my awesome partner Travis Tsukayama. Here are some pics from good times in SF in 2007.

Yes, since we are moving to bigger and better digs, our turnkey Bishop Street office space that I have spent the last years improving will be on the market within a few weeks! With swanky built-ins and solar shades on all the windows, not to mention three coveted downtown parking spaces included, it will be a great fit for the team who wants to move right in without doing any work!

I have long said Honolulu is the biggest small town in the country. Therefore, I was not surprised when mere hours after I was spotted downtown on a real estate tour, word was all over town that we are in the market for new office space. :) Since the cat is out of the bag, I would like to announce that less than two years after the passing of our Founder Les Andrews, when Travis and I gained ownership of our Registered Investment Adviser (RIA) firm Andrews Advisory Associates, LLC, we are upgrading our downtown Honolulu office space. We are hiring another Certified Financial Planner (R) professional Adviser on June 3, while another team member is scheduled to take the CFP (R) exam in July. This will bring our team to seven full-time associates, when we were but three in Dec. 2022. We are grateful to be able to continue to provide excellent service to our Investment Management and Financial Planning clients without interruption. Which office tower will we choose???

Please join us for a LIVE webinar by local Estate Planning Attorney Michelle M. M. Ogata, "When A Loved One Passes: Are you prepared for the task?" Mark your calendars for Wednesday, October 25, 2023 from 11:00 a.m. to 12:15 p.m. Hawaii time. One of the questions asked most often when a loved one passes is “What do I do now?” Learn about the steps involved in administering an estate or trust. We received wonderful feedback from this presentation last year! To receive the ZOOM link, RSVP by e-mail to Christina at [email protected] or call our office at 808-521-4015.
