Flat-fee, retirement plans for business owners (SEP, solo 401k) financial advisors in Massachusetts
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 Massachusetts and want to set up a retirement plan like a SEP or solo 401(k), you need an advisor who understands the unique tax and regulatory environment here. A common mistake is choosing an advisor who overlooks the impact of the state's "Millionaire's tax," which adds extra surtax on high incomes.
- Flat-fee pricing clarity. Confirm how the advisor charges so you know exactly what you’ll pay, avoiding surprises tied to your plan’s assets or transactions.
- Plan type guidance. Ask how they help decide between SEP and solo 401(k) based on your business size, income, and retirement goals.
- Compliance expertise. Ensure they keep your plan aligned with Massachusetts rules and federal regulations to avoid costly penalties.
- Integration with business finances. Check how they coordinate your retirement plan with your overall business cash flow and tax strategy.

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
