Top retirement plans for business owners (SEP, solo 401k) financial advisors in Farmington, MO

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 own a business and want to set up a retirement plan like a SEP or solo 401(k), you need an advisor who understands how these plans fit with your business cash flow and tax situation. A common mistake is choosing a plan without considering how it affects your business's ongoing finances and your personal retirement goals.

  • Plan type suitability. Ask why they recommend a SEP versus a solo 401(k) based on your business size and income patterns.
  • Contribution strategy. Confirm how they help you balance maximizing contributions with maintaining enough cash for business operations.
  • Tax impact awareness. Ensure they explain how plan contributions affect your business taxes and personal tax returns.
  • Compliance guidance. Check how they support you in meeting IRS rules and deadlines to avoid penalties.

Here are top matches to get you started. Review each profile to compare experience, credentials, and approach.

Not sure where to start?

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.

Find your advisor

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
