CFP®-certified, retirement plans for business owners (SEP, solo 401k) financial advisors in District of Columbia
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 and want to set up or optimize your retirement plan, you need an advisor who understands the unique rules for SEP and solo 401(k) plans. A common mistake is treating these plans like standard retirement accounts, which can lead to missed tax benefits or compliance issues. CFP® certification means these advisors have formal training in financial planning, including retirement strategies tailored to business owners.
- Plan type expertise. Confirm they can explain the differences between SEP and solo 401(k) plans and recommend the best fit for your business size and income.
- Tax coordination. Ask how they integrate your retirement plan with your overall tax situation, including federal and D.C.-specific estate tax considerations.
- Government benefits insight. Since many in D.C. work for the federal government, check if they understand how FERS pensions and Thrift Savings Plan rollovers affect your retirement planning.
- Compliance and contribution limits. Ensure they keep up with annual IRS rules to help you maximize contributions without risking penalties.
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
