CFP®-certified, retirement plans for business owners (SEP, solo 401k) financial advisors in Minnesota
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 Minnesota and want to set up or optimize a retirement plan like a SEP or solo 401(k), you need an advisor who understands the unique tax and cash flow challenges you face. A common mistake is treating these plans like standard retirement accounts without considering how they fit into your business's financial rhythm. CFP® certification means these advisors have formal training in financial planning, which can help you navigate complex rules.
- Plan type suitability. Confirm how they evaluate whether a SEP or solo 401(k) best matches your business size and income variability.
- Contribution strategy. Ask how they help balance maximizing contributions with maintaining healthy business cash flow.
- Tax implications. Ensure they explain how plan contributions affect your business taxes and personal income.
- Compliance management. Check how they support you in meeting IRS deadlines and reporting requirements to avoid penalties.
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
