How We Can Help

Workplace Advisor - Equity Compensation

Owning equity in the company you work for makes you more than an employee, it makes you a shareholder. Our clients understand that decisions they make around company stock and options are some of the most consequential they'll face in their financial life. We are part of a small group of Morgan Stanley advisors that have earned the designation of Workplace Advisor - Equity Compensation.

Our team has the experience, resources, and skills to help clients with high concentrations of wealth, especially with in-depth planning around 10b5-1 plans. After understanding your specific situation, we work with you on how to unite your equity compensation plan with your overall financial roadmap. Contact us here directly with the button above to start the conversation.
ADDING SIMPLICITY TO YOUR COMPLEX BENEFIT STRUCTURE
  • Decisions you make around company stock and options may be among the most consequential in your life. We’re here to help you make sense of the complexity. Some questions you may have considered: • How well do I understand my equity compensation? Have I considered any strategies to maximize its value? • Should I be making different choices from my colleagues based on my specific situation and needs? • When the time comes to part ways with my company, how should I plan for that transition?
