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

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 into your overall financial picture. A common mistake is choosing a plan without considering how it impacts your tax situation and business cash flow.

  • Plan type suitability. Ask why they recommend a SEP versus a solo 401(k) based on your business size, income, and retirement goals.
  • Federal tax focus. Since South Dakota has no state income tax, confirm how they optimize your federal tax savings through plan contributions.
  • Contribution limits and timing. Understand how they help you maximize contributions within IRS rules and align them with your business cash flow.
  • Integration with estate planning. Given South Dakota's favorable trust laws, check if they consider retirement plans as part of your broader asset protection and estate strategy.

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.

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.
