Equity Compensation

RSUs, stock options, ESPPs, vesting schedules, tax withholding, and concentration risk all require intentional coordination.

Career Transitions

Promotions, acquisitions, recruiter outreach, severance offers, and changing compensation packages each carry financial implications worth evaluating carefully.

Tax Planning

Bonus income, equity events, Roth strategies, charitable planning, and tax-efficient wealth accumulation become increasingly important as compensation grows.

Building Long-Term Wealth

Retirement planning, investing, home purchases, family goals, insurance, and estate planning are rarely addressed in isolation — they work best when coordinated together.

Should I sell my RSUs immediately or hold them?

The right answer involves understanding the tradeoffs between taxes, concentration risk, and long-term investment strategy — not just the stock's near-term outlook.

How much cash should I keep available?

Balancing opportunity, flexibility, and security requires understanding your income stability, upcoming goals, and overall financial structure.

Should I prioritize Roth or Traditional 401(k) contributions?

As compensation moves into higher tax brackets, the decision between Roth and Traditional contributions becomes increasingly consequential and worth evaluating annually.

What should I do after an acquisition or job transition?

Evaluating equity treatment, benefits changes, severance packages, and tax implications requires a coordinated review before making major decisions.

Are we actually on track financially?

Creating clarity around retirement readiness, major purchases, and long-term goals requires more than watching account balances — it requires a coordinated financial plan.

How do we avoid becoming overexposed to company stock?

Developing a diversification strategy that reduces concentration risk without creating unnecessary tax consequences requires thoughtful planning around vesting events and timing.
