Large-firm, retirement plans for business owners (SEP, solo 401k) financial advisors in York, PA

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 business cash flow and tax situation. A common mistake is choosing a plan without considering how it affects your ongoing contributions and retirement income.

  • Plan design expertise. Look for advisors who explain how different plans impact your business taxes and retirement savings potential.
  • Integration with business goals. Ask how they align your retirement plan with your business growth and exit strategy.
  • Compliance and updates. Confirm they keep you informed about plan rules and IRS changes that affect your contributions.
  • Large-firm resources. Advisors at large firms often have access to specialized tools and teams to support complex plan administration.

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

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.
