CFP®-certified, retirement plans for business owners (SEP, solo 401k) financial advisors in Panama City Beach, FL
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 retirement plan like a SEP or solo 401(k), you need an advisor who understands how these plans fit into your overall financial picture. A common mistake is treating these plans as isolated accounts rather than part of a broader tax and retirement strategy. CFP® certification means these advisors have formal training in financial planning, including retirement and tax considerations.
- Plan design nuances. Ask how they tailor SEP or solo 401(k) options to your business size and cash flow, not just generic plan features.
- Federal tax focus. Since Florida has no state income tax, confirm they emphasize federal tax impacts and how your plan affects property and sales taxes.
- Integration with business goals. Check if they consider your business growth and succession plans when recommending retirement strategies.
- Contribution strategies. Inquire about how they help maximize contributions while balancing your current expenses and future retirement needs.
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
