Dear Tom,

Just a quick note from the Sunshine State for the holiday season.

We appreciate what you have done for mom over the years, often "above and beyond." You are one of her favorite people.

Please take care of yourself and keep healthy.

Our good wishes to your family and the staff at CSI.

Merry Christmas and Happy (and healthy) 2012!

Yours sincerely,

"My aunt took care of me, so I wanted to take the best possible care of her when she needed it. With the problems she was dealing with in her old age, handling her finances did not need to be one of them. She prepared herself well and took the necessary steps to make sure her finances would cover her care in her old age, but she needed someone honest and dependable to carry out her financial plan when she could no longer do it. I became that person.

When I needed help doing her bookkeeping and bill paying, I asked around for referrals. Two different professionals in community, who have long experience in elder care, recommended CSI. I’m so glad. CSI immediately stepped up to the plate and lifted the burden. It was a seamless transition.


Susan Govier and Aunt Imogene
Although we could have afforded to hire a trust company, I was drawn to CSI because of their "non-profit" spirit of going above and beyond for their clients. They have done so much more than help organize my aunt’s finances. They really know how to navigate Hawaii’s elder care world – and they facilitate the many players such as CPAs, attorneys, bankers and healthcare providers. This has saved a lot of time and frustration and given me peace of mind. CSI is extremely knowledgeable about accounting, finances, taxes and a number of other legal requirements.

I have the utmost of confidence in their ability to accurately and efficiently administer financial transactions with confidentiality, professionalism and genuine dedication. CSI gets it! I have especially enjoyed working with Evelyn and Shin."

Taking care of aging parents is not easy, but it's good to know that there's a place that can help.

CSI was there when our family needed that help. They turned a complicated situation into something manageable and organized, all the while, keeping the best interest of our parents in mind. The staff has been wonderful to work with. They are very caring and always go beyond what is expected of them.

They have given us one less thing to worry about
