Make Informed Choices About Your STOCK Benefits

If you receive stock shares as part of your compensation, such as bonuses in the form of stock options that allow you to purchase stock in the future, the tax rules for these plans are complex, and errors can be costly.

For example, it will depend if your stock options are statutory or non-statutory, because that by itself can make a big difference in paying higher taxes now or in the future.  We can help you decipher the terms of your specific stock compensation plan, and help you reduce the tax impacts of making a mistake from doing the wrong thing.


We break everything down into simple steps that are easy to understand, so you feel confident choosing the path that aligns with your goals. Whether you’re preparing for a distribution, evaluating rollover options, or planning for retirement, we help you move forward knowing you’re making thoughtful, well-informed decisions.
