Helping You Pursue Your Personal, Wealth, and Retirement Goals

With something as personal as your finances, it’s important to work with an advisor you trust and want to work with for the long-term. After all, building a financial and investment strategy is not a one-time event, but an ongoing process that requires adjustments as your life or goals change.

I’m Mel Mendonca, an independent LPL Financial advisor who seeks to serve as your trusted financial partner. Since 1987, I have dedicated my career to helping people grow their long-term wealth for retirement and create a strategy that aligns with your wealth and personal goals.

While I work with a wide range of clients, all with unique needs, many are concerned with a few key concerns: creating an asset base that will last throughout their retirement, sending their children to college, meeting their personal wealth goals, and leaving a legacy to their loved ones. Since I have access to many products and services, I can offer comprehensive wealth management, insurance, and financial services designed to meet those essential concerns. Throughout the financial planning process, I also collaborate with money managers, legal and tax professionals to provide you the highest level of service.

Based in Honolulu, I work with clients throughout Hawaii, as well as California. I welcome the opportunity to help you pursue your personal and wealth goals.
