Flat-fee, retirement plans for business owners (SEP, solo 401k) financial advisors in Grand Forks, ND
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 are setting up or managing a retirement plan like a SEP or solo 401(k), you need an advisor who understands how these plans fit into your overall financial picture. A common mistake is treating your retirement plan as separate from your business cash flow and tax situation, which can lead to missed savings or penalties. Flat-fee advisors charge a set price, so you know what to expect without surprise fees.
- Plan integration. Ask how they coordinate your retirement plan with your business income and expenses to optimize contributions.
- Tax implications. Confirm they explain how SEP and solo 401(k) plans affect your personal and business tax filings.
- Contribution limits. Make sure they help you navigate the rules so you don’t exceed limits or miss out on maximum savings.
- Plan administration. Check if they assist with paperwork and compliance to keep your plan in good standing.

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
