Top financial advisors working with baby boomers and self-employed clients
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're self-employed and approaching retirement age, you likely face unique challenges like managing irregular income and planning for Social Security benefits. Without an advisor familiar with self-employment nuances, you might overlook tax deductions or mismanage retirement contributions.
- Income variability planning. Look for advisors who help smooth out your cash flow and plan for lean periods without derailing your retirement goals.
- Tax deduction optimization. Confirm how they identify and maximize deductions specific to your business expenses.
- Retirement account strategy. Ask how they recommend balancing contributions between personal and business retirement plans.
- Social Security timing. Ensure they consider how your self-employment history affects your Social Security benefits and the best time to claim them.
