Flat-fee, retirement plans for business owners (SEP, solo 401k) financial advisors in Maryland
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 Maryland 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 your business cash flow and tax situation. A common mistake is choosing a plan without considering how fees and contributions affect your bottom line over time. Flat-fee advisors charge a set price, so you can expect predictable costs regardless of your plan's size.
- Plan type fit. Ask how they decide between SEP and solo 401(k) based on your business structure and growth plans.
- Fee transparency. Confirm what services are included in the flat fee and if there are any extra charges.
- Tax impact insight. Look for advisors who explain how your plan choice interacts with Maryland's estate and inheritance taxes.
- Ongoing plan management. Check how they support you with annual filings and contribution adjustments as your business evolves.

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
