FrequentlyAsked Questions

Should a business owner hire a financial advisor?

Yes—especially if your business income affects your personal finances. A specialized advisor can help reduce taxes, manage cash flow, and plan your long-term exit.

How much does a financial advisor cost for business owners?

Business advisors typically charge 0.5%–1.5% of assets under management, or $1,000–$5,000 for project-based plans. Some offer hourly rates between $150 and $400.

Can a financial advisor help with paying yourself from an LLC or S-Corp?

Yes. They help structure compensation, distributions, and tax-efficient payroll that aligns with your entity type and long-term financial goals.

Is a financial advisor worth it for small business owners?

In most cases, yes. The right advisor can help reduce taxes, increase profitability, and ensure you’re building wealth both in and outside your business.

How Financial Advisors Help Business Owners and Entrepreneurs

Running a business means your personal finances are deeply tied to your company's success. That’s why business owners and entrepreneurs benefit from working with financial advisors who understand both sides of the equation.
A financial advisor who specializes in working with business owners can help you:

Integrate business and personal finances: Align how much you pay yourself, manage cash flow, and plan for taxes on both fronts.

Minimize taxes: Use entity structure, deductions, and retirement contributions to reduce your tax burden year-round.

Plan for retirement: Whether it’s a SEP IRA, Solo 401(k), or Defined Benefit Plan, they help you choose the right strategy for your stage of growth.

Prepare for an exit or succession: If you plan to sell, transfer, or step away from your business, they’ll guide you through valuation, timing, and tax strategies to protect your wealth.

Diversify your personal finances: Many business owners are overexposed to their business. Advisors can help you build wealth outside of it.

Advisors on Sam’s List who specialize in business owners often collaborate closely with your CPA and attorney to provide coordinated, high-impact advice.
