Flat-fee, retirement plans for business owners (SEP, solo 401k) financial advisors in San Mateo, CA
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 SEP or solo 401(k) retirement plan, 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 tax and income planning, which can lead to missed savings opportunities. Flat-fee advisors charge a set price, so you know what to expect without surprise fees.
- Plan integration. Look for advisors who connect your business retirement plan with your personal tax situation and cash flow.
- Contribution strategy. Ask how they help decide the right contribution amounts to balance business needs and retirement goals.
- Compliance expertise. Confirm they stay current on IRS rules and deadlines specific to SEP and solo 401(k) plans.
- Fee clarity. Since these advisors work on a flat-fee basis, understand exactly what services are included for your fee.

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
