Corporate Executive Planning
Strategic Planning for Complex Executive Compensation
Stock options, RSUs, ESPPs, deferred compensation, and concentrated equity can create significant wealth — and significant complexity.
The decisions surrounding your compensation often involve timing, taxation, and risk management. Without coordination, small missteps can lead to unnecessary tax exposure or overconcentration.
Our role is to help you evaluate tradeoffs before decisions are made — not after.
The Challenges Executives Face
Executive compensation planning often includes:
- Incentive Stock Options (ISOs) and Non-Qualified Stock Options (NSOs)
- Restricted Stock Units (RSUs)
- Employee Stock Purchase Plans (ESPPs)
- Deferred compensation arrangements
- Concentrated employer stock positions
Key planning considerations include:
- Exercise timing and tax bracket management
- Alternative Minimum Tax (AMT) exposure
- Managing concentration risk
- Navigating blackout windows
- Coordinating estimated tax payments
- Designing a staged diversification strategy
Each decision interacts with your broader financial plan. That’s why we model scenarios before implementing strategy.
