Flat-fee, retirement plans for business owners (SEP, solo 401k) financial advisors in Niles, MI
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 managing a SEP or solo 401(k) retirement plan, you need an advisor who understands how these plans fit into your overall financial picture. A common mistake is treating your retirement plan as separate from your business cash flow and tax situation, which can lead to missed savings or penalties. Flat-fee advisors charge a set price, so you know what to expect without surprise fees.
- Plan integration with business finances. Ask how they balance your retirement contributions with your business cash flow and tax obligations.
- Contribution limits and deadlines. Confirm they keep you on track with IRS rules to avoid costly errors.
- Pension and other benefits coordination. In Michigan, many clients have pensions; check how they factor these into your retirement strategy.
- Fee transparency. Understand exactly what services are included in the flat fee and any additional costs you might face.
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
