Top retirement plans for business owners (SEP, solo 401k) financial advisors in Madison, IN
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 reviewing your retirement plan, you need an advisor who understands the unique rules around SEP and solo 401(k) plans. A common mistake is choosing a plan without considering how it fits your business cash flow and long-term retirement goals.
- Plan type suitability. Confirm how they evaluate whether a SEP or solo 401(k) better matches your income variability and contribution flexibility.
- Contribution strategy. Ask how they help balance maximizing tax advantages with maintaining enough cash flow for your business operations.
- Compliance and deadlines. Ensure they guide you through IRS rules and filing deadlines specific to these retirement plans.
- Coordination with personal finances. Look for advisors who integrate your business retirement plan with your overall financial picture, including personal savings and tax planning.

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
