Top retirement plans for business owners (SEP, solo 401k) financial advisors in New Jersey
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 New Jersey and want to set up a retirement plan like a SEP or solo 401(k), you need an advisor who understands the unique tax and regulatory environment here. A common mistake is choosing an advisor who treats these plans like generic retirement accounts, missing key business-owner considerations.
- Plan type guidance. Confirm they explain the differences between SEP and solo 401(k) plans and why one fits your business structure better.
- Tax impact insight. Ask how they factor in New Jersey’s high property taxes and your commuting situation when planning contributions.
- Compliance expertise. Ensure they keep up with IRS rules specific to business-owner retirement plans to avoid costly errors.
- Fee structure clarity. Since many advisors here offer flat fees, check how their pricing aligns with the services you’ll need.
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
