Executive Compensation Planning
For Navigating Complex Pay Structures
Clear Guidance To Support Confident, Long-Term Decisions
Executive compensation planning is one of our specialized services, helping senior leaders and key employees understand how complex pay arrangements fit within a broader financial picture. We evaluate pay packages and incentive structures so decisions around timing, taxes, and long-term incentives support both career progression and long-term planning.
Because executive pay often extends beyond base salary, we assess how cash compensation, equity awards, and deferred benefits affect cash flow, investment decisions, and retirement plans, coordinating with other professionals when appropriate.
How We Help
Our approach delivers practical guidance for complex executive compensation planning, helping clients navigate tradeoffs and align compensation decisions with their broader wealth management strategy.
We help evaluate compensation plans in the context of base salary, performance based cash bonuses, and overall income planning so annual decisions support longer-term priorities.
We assist with deferred compensation and deferred compensation plan elections, focusing on timing, liquidity, and potential tax consequences across career stages.
We provide guidance on executive compensation packages that include equity based incentives such as restricted stock units and stock options, with attention to vesting schedules and integration into the overall financial plan.
We review performance metrics, key performance indicators, and incentive plan design tied to variable compensation so executives understand how pay for performance structures align with expectations.
For executives navigating changes in role or responsibility, we assess compensation practices and how executive pay structures align with corporate strategy, company goals, and long-term priorities.
A Fiduciary Approach to Executive Compensation
As an independent advisory firm, we provide objective guidance on executive compensation, helping align executive pay decisions with each client’s broader financial picture and long-term priorities. We coordinate with legal and tax professionals when appropriate.
Preparing for What’s Next
As roles and company performance evolve, we help clients revisit compensation packages, incentive plans, and executive benefits to maintain alignment over time.
