Frequently Asked Executive Compensation Questions
Our experts are here to listen, not to judge. So bring all your questions and trust that this is a judgment-free zone. Even if you’ve already worked with someone else and just need a second opinion, our goal is to provide the clarity and confidence you deserve.
When should I exercise my stock options?
Timing depends on your tax status, concentration risk, cash needs, and company outlook. We’ll model multiple scenarios so you can act confidently rather than guess.
Will exercising options trigger the AMT?
Incentive stock options can create alternative minimum tax issues. We project AMT impact before you pull the trigger—and craft strategies to offset or avoid it.
How do deferred-comp distributions affect retirement taxes?
Improper timing can push you into higher brackets. We build a coordinated distribution plan that works alongside your IRAs, 401(k), and Social Security.
What happens to my unvested equity if I change jobs?
We’ll review your grant agreements, acceleration clauses, and non-competes with you and your attorney so you understand what you keep, lose, or can negotiate.
What do I do with the large position of company stock held in my 401(k) plan?
You may want to consider a Net Unrealized Appreciation (NUA) strategy, which allows you to move company stock from your 401(k) to a brokerage account and potentially pay long-term capital gains tax instead of ordinary income tax on the growth. This can be a powerful way to reduce your tax bill while diversifying your portfolio.
Who uses your executive compensation services?
Our clients include pharmaceutical leaders, tech executives, corporate officers, founders, and independent women—anyone with equity, bonuses, or complex benefit packages who wants clarity and control.
