Top retirement plans for business owners (SEP, solo 401k) financial advisors in North Dakota

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 a retirement plan like a SEP or solo 401(k), you need an advisor who understands how to align your plan with your business cash flow and growth cycles. A common mistake is choosing a plan without considering how fluctuating income affects contributions and tax benefits.

  • Plan type suitability. Confirm how they evaluate whether a SEP or solo 401(k) fits your business size and income variability.
  • Contribution strategy. Ask how they help you maximize contributions during high-earning periods without overcommitting in leaner times.
  • Tax impact awareness. Ensure they consider how your retirement plan choices interact with your personal and business tax situations.
  • Regulatory compliance. Verify their approach to keeping your plan compliant with IRS rules and reporting requirements.

Here are top matches to get you started. Review each profile to compare experience, credentials, and approach.

Not sure where to start?

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.

Find your advisor

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
