We are Hawkins Laakso, freedom simplified.

Money does not buy happiness

The freedom to know your family will be cared for.
The freedom to know your needs will be met.
The freedom to focus on enjoying your life.

It sounds simple — but the reality is that the road to financial freedom can feel daunting.

You have done much of the hard work - putting in the long hours, sacrificing time with the people you love, putting money away for the future.

But even with those critical steps taken, it may not always be clear how to turn your financial success into that elusive financial freedom.

The truth is that most of us don't know how wealth works.
What we know is that we just want it — to work.

We don't want to get caught up in the day-to-day decisions that come with managing our money.
We just want results—someone who can make it easier for us.
Someone we can trust — to help make our dreams, goals, and hopes for the future come true.

At Hawkins Laakso Wealth Management, we believe in simplifying the road to financial freedom.

That's why we work with successful entrepreneurs and executives to create a Family Office Experience designed to achieve their financial dreams by helping them manage, grow and secure their wealth.

In a time when people are more skeptical than ever about wealth managers, we aim to create an experience where our clients feel like family. Where they are treated with the same reverence and care for their portfolio as they would expect from a loved one. Where they work with someone who cares just as much (if not more) about their ability to achieve financial freedom and the growth of their wealth as they do.

We believe in integrity, transparency, and taking the time to ensure we understand each of our client's unique needs and desires. We take a holistic approach tailored to our client's financial profile and goals -- and then find innovative ways to help them secure their financial future and map out their path to financial freedom.

It's what we've done now for over 20 years. Help out clients build their wealth so they can focus on what truly matters most - the freedom to enjoy their life.

And we believe that's something to be truly happy about.

We are Hawkins Laakso.
Freedom Simplified.
