Top retirement plans for business owners (SEP, solo 401k) financial advisors in Springfield, MA

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 want to set up a retirement plan like a SEP or solo 401(k), you need an advisor who understands how these plans fit your unique cash flow and tax situation. A common mistake is choosing a plan without considering how it impacts your business taxes and personal retirement goals.

  • Plan type suitability. Confirm how they evaluate whether a SEP or solo 401(k) best matches your business size and income variability.
  • Tax impact awareness. Ask how they navigate state-specific taxes, including any surtaxes on high incomes, to optimize your retirement savings.
  • Contribution strategy. Look for guidance on balancing business contributions with your personal retirement needs and cash flow.
  • Compliance and deadlines. Ensure they help you meet IRS rules and filing deadlines to avoid penalties and maximize benefits.

Here are top matches to get you started. Review each profile to compare experience, credentials, and approach.

Not sure where to start?

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.

Find your advisor

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.
