Seasoned, retirement plans for business owners (SEP, solo 401k) financial advisors in Colorado
The right financial advisor for you depends on how you weigh location, expertise, experience, the clients they typically serve, and how they work with you.
If you run a business in Colorado and are setting up or managing retirement plans like SEP IRAs or solo 401(k)s, you need an advisor who understands the unique needs of business owners. A common mistake is treating these plans like standard personal retirement accounts, which can miss key tax and contribution advantages.
- Plan type expertise. Confirm the advisor knows the differences between SEP and solo 401(k) plans and can recommend the best fit for your business size and cash flow.
- Contribution strategy. Ask how they help maximize your tax-advantaged contributions while balancing your business’s financial health.
- Tax planning insight. Colorado’s flat income tax simplifies some aspects, but you want an advisor who integrates state tax rules with your retirement plan choices.
- Experience with business owners. Seasoned advisors here have decades of experience navigating the complexities of retirement plans specifically for entrepreneurs and small business owners.
Here are top matches to get you started. Review each profile to compare experience, credentials, and approach.

We'll help you think it through—whether you ultimately need an advisor or not. Warmer helps you compare advisors clearly, so you can choose with confidence.
For advisor listings, we rely on sources including public filings and data provided by advisors, and we cannot guarantee that all information is current or accurate. Advisors are independent and may not have reviewed or updated this information. Please review an advisor’s Form ADV and do your own diligence before deciding whether to work with them.
Advisor matching and introductions are provided by FinanceHQ LLC (“FHQ”), a wholly-owned subsidiary of Warmer and an SEC-registered investment advisor. We receive compensation from certain participating advisors for introductions or referrals. This creates a conflict of interest because we have an incentive to recommend advisors who compensate us, including those who pay us more. You pay no fee to use our matching service, and advisor fees are not increased because of a referral or introduction. We do not review the ongoing performance of advisors, manage or hold assets, guarantee performance, or provide advice about specific investments.
By using our service, you agree to our Terms of Service and Advisory Agreement, and acknowledge our Privacy Policy. Please review FHQ’s ADV Part 2A and Form CRS. Logos provided by Logo.dev
