Tech professionals
Should you be making estimated tax payments as your RSUs vest? What kind of option exercise strategy should you adopt to minimize your income tax liability? Will your option exercises trigger AMT (the dreaded alternative minimum tax)? Should you participate in your employer’s employee stock purchase plan? Which retirement plans should you participate in? We are ready to answer these and many other questions. We specialize in helping tech professionals maximize their stock compensation through shrewd tax planning and appropriate diversification.
Our expertise in stock analysis also allows us to go far beyond what other financial planners can offer and actually evaluate your employer’s stock from an investment perspective. For many tech professionals, their direct and indirect ownership in their employer’s stock is their single largest asset by far. Understanding whether your employer’s stock is undervalued, fairly priced, or overvalued is key in determining how aggressive and quickly you move to diversify your investments.
