Financial Partner You Can Trust

HAWA wasn’t built in a boardroom. It was created through reinvention, resilience, and a deep belief that financial planning should be available to everyone.

Milo walked away from a corporate career that stifled authenticity to build something different – an advisory firm where service came before sales and financial planning meant more than selling products. Manny saw firsthand how many people felt excluded from the financial industry and made it his mission to bridge that gap. Rafael, with a background in global finance and a passion for education, joined to ensure every plan wasn’t just a strategy but a path to action.

We know what it’s like to start from scratch. To question if financial security is only for a select few. To wonder if the system was built with you in mind. And we’ve seen, time and time again, how thoughtful planning can change the trajectory of a family for generations. That’s why we’re here.

At HAWA, we help individuals and families break through the barriers of wealth. We show our clients that philanthropy and financial security aren’t mutually exclusive. And we make sure every person we work with feels empowered to make financial decisions with confidence.

Meet the Team Behind HAWA

We’re financial planners, but first and foremost, we’re people who care.

Milo F. Hanke, CFP®

Founding Partner

Milo started in journalism and public relations before entering into finance with one goal: to make planning about people, not products. Four decades later, he’s helped hundreds of families build security, invest with purpose, and give back in ways they never imagined.

Manny R. Apolonio, CFP®

Senior Financial Planner & Partner

Manny didn’t see a lot of people like him in finance – so he set out to change that. With a background in financial planning and positive psychology coaching, he helps clients feel empowered, not intimidated, by their financial future.

I’ve had an exceptional experience working with Hanke & Apolonio Wealth Advisors. From the very beginning, their team demonstrated a deep understanding of financial planning, blending technical expertise with a truly personalized approach. Manny Apolonio, in particular, has been instrumental in helping me navigate key financial decisions with clarity and confidence. He takes the time to explain complex concepts in a way that’s easy to understand and always aligns strategies with my long-term goals and personal values. His ability to combine financial acumen with a coaching mindset has made a huge difference in how I think about wealth management. The firm as a whole operates with transparency, integrity, and a genuine commitment to their clients’ financial well-being. I highly recommend Hanke & Apolonio to anyone looking for a wealth management team that goes beyond just numbers—they truly care about their clients’ success.

One of the best decisions I've made was speaking with Manny and taking an honest look at my finances. Manny has the knowledge that I was searching for to better manage my financial plan. What's more Manny knows how to deliver that knowledge in a way that makes sense! Could not recommend him more.

Why 5 stars? The answer, for me, is easy. Hanke and Co. knows what they are doing. No need for a long dissertation on their quality of work. They are extremely knowledgeable and keep up with the latest issues and developments in their field. Bedside manner--this may be an old fashioned concept but it is important to me. I want my financial managers to be nice and caring people. The staff are personable and accommodating. They make me feel at ease and they are very reassuring. Trust with a capital "T"---- I truly believe Hanke and Co. have my back and are looking out for my best interests. I am a retiree and my money is my guarantee of a comfortable future and I trust Hanke and Co. to take care of me. It's important to connect with the right financial managers as money is a very personal issue. Hanke and Co. works for me and they might be right for you.

If you're questioning your first steps--don't hesitate, it doesn't take much effort to schedule a consultation. Manny is someone I know I can trust, and when it comes to my financial future, I don't place that trust lightly. After 2020 upended my seemingly stable industry, I knew it was time to reevaluate, take stock, plan, and identify my goals. I now have more confidence in my financial future, and look forward to my consultations.

Six months ago, I landed my dream job and I started making significantly more money. With adulting came anxiety - was I saving enough for retirement? Was I making the right investment choices? Should I put some of my money into the stock market? Manny helped me pick the right funds for my 401k, made sure my taxes were done properly, and set me up with a savings program. He noticed that I was putting some of my savings into the stock market through private brokers before I had maximized my 401k, so we were able to take some action and sell some of the stocks which had taken a loss to avoid tax penalties. I’ve never hired a professional to do anything for me before so this was new for me. I feel a lot more comfortable talking about money now after talking to these guys. In general I feel more confident about my finances. I feel like I am empowered to make the right decisions regarding my savings and investments because Manny educated me on where the greatest tax penalties are. Highly recommend even if you're not a millionaire - there's no way you won't save money with Hanke & Co.
