ʻAhuwale ka poʻokela i kāu hana ʻia no ka haʻi.
It is through the way you serve others that your greatness will be felt.
Quote by: Dr. Linda Andrade Wheeler (©2001)
At SEA Financial Hawaii, we believe that true greatness is revealed through service.
The 5 years before and after you retire are when your financial decisions carry the most weight--when the right advice matters most.
In football, the red zone is the final stretch before the goal line, where every play counts. Retirement has one too. The choices you make in these years are hard to undo and can shape your income, your taxes, and your peace of mind for decades.
You don't have to figure it out alone. As an independent, fee-only fiduciary, SEA Financial Hawaii puts advice first, so you get objective guidance built around you, not a product.

Real experiences from the people we’re privileged to serve.
"I cannot express enough gratitude for the exceptional support and guidance Garrett Wheeler has provided my family and I during one of the most difficult times of our lives. After the passing of my father, Garrett went far beyond his role as a financial advisor, offering not only expert financial advice but also genuine compassion and kindness. He has helped us navigate complex financial decisions with patience, ensuring we understand every step of the process.
Garrett's dedication and commitment to my family’s well-being has been evident in the way he handles everything with such care and empathy. He takes the time to listen to our concerns, addresses all our questions, and makes us feel confident in the financial decisions we are making. His ability to provide clarity during an emotionally overwhelming time is something I will always appreciate.
If you are looking for a financial advisor who truly cares about his clients and is willing to go the extra mile, Garrett Wheeler is a person you can trust completely. He is not only a skilled professional but also someone who genuinely values the relationships he builds with the people he helps. We are forever grateful for his kindness, and I highly recommend him to anyone in need of financial guidance."

"If you need help with your finances you should go to Garrett!"
Garrett is an excellent financial advisor. He was incredibly helpful with helping my family with our questions on our insurance and in creating an investment account. He explained everything thoroughly and answered all our questions even though we had a lot of them.
He was incredibly patient with us, especially because we had limited knowledge on this kind of stuff. We were able to fully understand our finances better and we are happy to finally be able to open a new investment account.

"YOU’RE THE BEST, Garrett!"
I wanted to thank you for all you continue to do for me. From the very start you were caring, knowledgeable and a pleasure to work with.
And as a kupuna, I appreciate your patience with me and technology (LOL!). Aloha!

"I trust him, and I highly recommend him."
Since I was introduced to Garrett, and we got to know one another, I could sense right away that he was sincere, genuine, and I really felt that he had my best interest at heart. In my line of work as a school administrator, developing relationships is the key to helping others experience success and achievement. I am convinced that my relationship with Garrett will be nothing less than long-term, and my family will benefit from our association.

Don’t just take our word for it…
Garrett is a survivor of old school business. He exemplifies a motivated professionalism and attitude in his work where client satisfaction is key. Part of his appeal is due to his easy going nature and perseverance in dealing with people, which is sometimes a rarity in business these days. I myself am inspired by this. As a disciple in the management of people, I believe Garrett's motivation and creativity serves him well in helping others take on the challenges of today's world. Give him a try. I think you'll find him refreshing.

Garrett is one of the most honest and trustworthy guys I’ve worked with. He not only looks out for the welfare of his clients, he also will advise those that have no intention of being the consumer of his services...he truly cares about people. Relationships and trust are important to Garrett, he is an asset to the community and I would trust him with my son or daughter.
