Note from Hervin
At Aware Financial, we’re all about making your financial planning experience exceptional. That’s why we’ve created our Five-Point Guarantee. We promise to deliver at least twice the value of our fees in real financial benefits, give you unlimited revisions for the first 45 days, and create a plan that’s uniquely yours. We’re transparent about everything, and if our initial insights aren’t useful to you, we’ll give you your money back. Our goal is your satisfaction and financial success. With Aware Financial, you’re in good hands. Let’s achieve your financial goals together!
This is our planning process guarantee. Of course, I can’t predict what the future holds, but this whole page is me putting my money where my mouth is. If we can’t make you happy and I can’t deliver a plan that gives you the clarity and confidence you need, I don’t want that business. We’ll refund your retainer and part ways as friends.

Aware Financial’s Five-Point Guarantee
1. 2X Value Promise
Description: We guarantee to add back at least twice the value of our planning fees in tax savings, cost reductions, or financial improvements, or we will not take on the engagement.

- Exclusions: The promise does not cover unforeseen changes in the client’s financial situation that occur after the assessment (e.g., job loss, market downturns).
Disclaimer:
- The 2X Value Promise is an estimate based on current financial data and assumptions. Actual results may vary, and Aware Financial cannot be held responsible for changes in tax laws, economic conditions, market conditions, interest rates, or other external factors that may impact the outcome.
