Abel Soares III is a Certified Public Accountant (CPA) who has earned his Certified Financial Planner (CFP) and Personal Financial Specialist (PFS™) credentials. After working at regional and international CPA firms for several years, he envisioned building his own company with member firms that would serve to improve his clients’ financial and overall well-being.
Along the way, Abel noticed that the biggest factor of effective financial management besides financial education was the individual's mindset. Aware that he needed someone with expertise in addressing the human psyche to provide a more holistic approach to financial planning, Abel partnered with his wife, Sadé, a licensed clinical psychologist. Together, they made his vision a reality by incorporating both financial and life coaching, and Hui Malama Advisors LLC was born. He serves as CFO for Hale Keiki School and CEO of Hui Malama Advisors LLC.
As a Native Hawaiian, Abel understands the importance of history and cultural well-being; and intends to build a legacy for his community, family and clients. Abel has supported the establishment of and continues to invest in several Native-Hawaiian-owned and local small businesses. Above all else, Abel is a devoted husband and father of two young boys.
