CFP®-certified, retirement plans for business owners (SEP, solo 401k) financial advisors
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 and want to set up a retirement plan like a SEP or solo 401(k), you need an advisor who understands the unique rules and tax benefits for business owners. A common mistake is choosing an advisor who treats your plan like a regular personal retirement account, missing key opportunities to save more or reduce taxes. CFP® certification means these advisors have formal training in financial planning, including retirement and tax strategies.
- Plan type expertise. Confirm they know the differences between SEP and solo 401(k) plans and can explain which fits your business structure.
- Contribution strategy. Ask how they help maximize your contributions while balancing cash flow and tax impact.
- Compliance guidance. Ensure they can navigate IRS rules and deadlines to keep your plan in good standing.
- Integration with business finances. Look for advisors who consider your overall business cash flow and growth plans when recommending retirement options.
Here are top matches to get you started. Review each profile to compare experience, credentials, and approach.
