SEA Financial Hawaii

As a Registered Investment Advisor (RIA), Martin Garrett provides both comprehensive financial planning and investment management under one roof. This coordinated approach allows us to align your investments with your broader life goals—helping you build long-term financial confidence while managing risk along the way. We believe financial planning should be personal, not generic. That’s why we take the time to understand your current situation, your priorities, and what matters most to you before developing a strategy tailored to your life. Our role goes beyond managing investments—we help organize the bigger financial picture so all the moving parts work together. Most people have a CPA, investment advisor, insurance agent, and estate attorney all working separately. Unfortunately, that often leads to gaps, missed opportunities, and strategies that unintentionally conflict with one another. At SEA, we help coordinate taxes, investments, risk management, and estate planning into one integrated strategy centered around your goals. We primarily work with business owners, professionals, and families seeking thoughtful, long-term guidance—not just investment management or one-time transactions. Whether you’re getting financially organized for the first time or managing a more complex situation, our goal is to simplify the process and provide clear direction. The best first step is simply a conversation to determine whether we’re the right fit for one another.
