We believe every hard-working family deserves financial peace of mind.
Join our movement!
Helping families achieve financial success is our passion, as lived by our founder and CEO, Alan Akina. From a humble background himself, Alan has devoted his life and career to this ambition, developing an effective curriculum, mentoring individuals, and writing a best-selling book, The Super Duper Simple Book on Money, to move this crusade forward.
Alan’s passion for teaching finances has had a great impact: he was awarded the Community Leader Award by Bank of Hawaii for putting thousands of families on the path to success and was also the go-to financial expert for over 8 years on Fox News KHON2.
101 Financial combines Alan’s expertise and a system that works with the personalized help so many people need and want. Ultimately, what drives the company forward is the belief that everyone deserves to live their best life and that being financially literate empowers you to do so.
