For financial advisors
The alphabet soup of awards have varied attributes, taxation, and planning considerations. And it's tough to keep it all straight — let alone provide helpful advice if you don't deal with it daily. Miss a detail and you might blow a deadline or forfeit an opportunity.
Everyone explains the characteristics and taxation of RSUs and ISOs. Nobody shows you how to actually plan and advise executives and employees with equity-linked compensation. That's the gap advisingEquity closes.
