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.
Rafael Paschoal, MBA
Operations Manager
Rafael makes sure nothing falls through the cracks. He handles client service, paperwork, and day-to-day operations with precision, so our planners can focus on strategy, and our clients always know they’re in good hands.
