Executives on the Move
Maximizing Equity Compensation for a Secure Financial Future
The Challenge
Effectively managing equity compensation requires strategic planning to ensure financial decisions align with long-term goals. For executives with incentive stock options (ISOs), navigating tax complexities—such as the Alternative Minimum Tax (AMT)—can be overwhelming. Without a structured approach, missteps in exercising options can result in excessive tax burdens, missed opportunities, and reduced financial flexibility. A well-planned strategy is essential to optimizing stock value while maintaining liquidity and tax efficiency.
