Independent, retirement plans for business owners (SEP, solo 401k) financial advisors in Jackson, TN

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 SEP or solo 401(k) retirement plan, you need an advisor who understands how these plans fit into your overall financial picture. A common mistake is treating these plans as isolated accounts rather than part of a broader strategy that balances your business cash flow and personal retirement goals. Independent advisors here operate without ties to specific financial firms, which can mean more flexible plan options tailored to your needs.

  • Plan integration expertise. Ask how they coordinate your retirement plan with your business finances and personal savings.
  • Contribution strategy. Confirm they help you optimize contributions based on your business income fluctuations.
  • Regulatory knowledge. Ensure they stay current on IRS rules affecting SEP and solo 401(k) plans to avoid costly errors.
  • Distribution planning. Discuss how they guide you on withdrawals to minimize taxes and support your retirement lifestyle.

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

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.
