CFP®-certified, retirement plans for business owners (SEP, solo 401k) financial advisors in Rhode Island
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 how these plans fit into your overall financial picture. A common mistake is treating your business retirement plan as separate from your personal retirement goals, which can lead to missed tax benefits or contribution limits.
- Plan type guidance. Confirm they explain the differences between SEP and solo 401(k) plans and recommend the best fit based on your business size and income.
- Contribution strategy. Ask how they help balance your business cash flow with maximizing retirement contributions to optimize tax savings.
- Integration with personal goals. Look for advisors who consider how your business retirement plan works alongside your personal savings and Social Security timing.
- Regulatory updates. Ensure they stay current on IRS rules and deadlines that affect your plan to avoid penalties or lost opportunities.

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
