Top retirement plans for business owners (SEP, solo 401k) financial advisors in Michigan
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 in Michigan and are setting up or managing a retirement plan like a SEP or solo 401(k), you need an advisor who understands the unique challenges of business-owner plans. A common mistake is treating these plans like standard personal retirement accounts, which can miss opportunities for tax savings and growth.
- Plan type expertise. Confirm they know the differences between SEP and solo 401(k) plans and can explain which fits your business structure and goals.
- Pension coordination. Michigan's auto industry means many clients have pensions; ask how they integrate your business retirement plan with existing pension benefits.
- Tax impact awareness. Look for advisors who consider how contributions affect your business taxes and personal income tax, not just investment returns.
- Contribution strategy. Ask how they help you optimize contributions year to year, especially if your business income fluctuates.
Here are top matches to get you started. Review each profile to compare experience, credentials, and approach.

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
