Flat-fee, retirement plans for business owners (SEP, solo 401k) financial advisors in Wausau, WI
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 your own business, setting up the right retirement plan like a SEP or solo 401(k) can secure your financial future and reduce your tax burden. A common mistake is choosing a plan without fully understanding how it fits your business size and income patterns, which can limit your savings or create unexpected tax issues. Flat-fee advisors charge a set price, so you know what to expect without surprise costs.
- Plan suitability. Ask how they determine whether a SEP or solo 401(k) better matches your business structure and income variability.
- Contribution limits. Confirm they explain how your business profits affect how much you can contribute each year.
- Tax implications. Check if they clarify how plan contributions impact your personal and business tax filings.
- Plan administration. Inquire about their support for ongoing plan management, including paperwork and compliance requirements.
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
