The Complexity of Executive Compensation 

Executives often face financial situations that are more intricate than most individuals. Compensation packages can include multiple forms of equity, layered tax implications, vesting schedules, incentive plans, and performance criteria. 

These elements create opportunity, but they also introduce challenges such as: 

  • High income tax exposure
  • Significant year to year income variability
  • Concentrated stock risk 
  • Complex vesting and performance schedules 
  • Timing decisions that impact both taxes and long-term wealth
  • Navigating trading windows or restrictions 
  • Aligning compensation with lifestyle, retirement, and family goals 

Understanding Your Compensation Package 

We break down each component of your compensation in a clear and actionable way so you can make informed decisions. This includes reviewing: 

  • Base salary and cash bonuses 
  • Restricted stock units and stock awards 
  • Stock options and option exercise strategies 
  • Performance based equity plans 
  • Deferred compensation plans 
  • Supplemental executive retirement plans 
  • Long-term incentive plans 

Tax Efficient Planning 

Taxes play a critical role in executive compensation. We help you anticipate and manage tax exposure so you can maximize what you keep and reduce unnecessary surprises. Our goal is to help you stay ahead of tax consequences instead of reacting to them after the fact.

  • Retirement planning
  • Investment strategy 
  • Estate Plans
