Independent, 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 save for retirement while reducing taxable income, setting up a SEP or solo 401(k) plan can be a smart move. The biggest mistake is choosing a plan without fully understanding how it fits your business size, income variability, and future growth.
- Plan suitability. Confirm how the advisor evaluates whether a SEP or solo 401(k) better matches your business structure and retirement goals.
- Contribution limits. Ask how they help you maximize contributions within IRS rules while balancing cash flow needs.
- Compliance guidance. Ensure they explain ongoing plan administration and reporting requirements to avoid costly penalties.
- Investment options. Check how they tailor investment choices within your retirement plan to align with your risk tolerance and timeline.
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
