Aware Financial specializes in retirement income planning for Canadians who have reached the peak of their careers. Their flat-fee model means you pay a fixed monthly fee for unbiased, customized advice, not a sales pitch or pressure to buy products. They help seniors and their families answer key retirement questions: how much you can safely spend each year, when to claim CPP and OAS, tax-efficient withdrawals from RRSPs and RIFs, investment strategies during drawdown, and how to avoid running out of money.
Every retirement plan includes retirement income projections, investment planning, tax minimization strategies, risk management (life and health insurance coverage), and estate simplification. Hervin offers free initial consultations (in person in Calgary or by Zoom) and full-service plans that provide ongoing support. There are no hidden fees, no minimum assets required, and no pressure to move your investments.

I’m so grateful I found Harvin Pesa. He took the time to really listen, ask the right questions, and provide guidance that feels both smart and realistic. His expertise, integrity, and calm presence made a huge difference for me. I would recommend him, without hesitation to anyone seeking clarity and confidence around their finances and retirement needs.

I have been working with Hervin for a number of years now; starting off with a one-time financial planning and moved on to having him as my financial advisor. He is personal, caring, knowledgable, supportive, responsive without interferring with my ultimate decisions. He is reachable and I know I do not have to chase him down for a response. The operation set up is smooth, without hassels, I get the advice, the management of the assets and the accounting components all taken care of.
