Employer-Sponsored Retirement Plans
Employee sponsored retirement plan investments typically represent a sizable portion of a client’s investable assets.
Because we are a Registered Investment Advisory (RIA) firm, we can provide investment management advice for these investments for a fee. Our sophisticated software allows us to integrate these retirement accounts into a consolidated report.
This allows us to better help you with the big picture.
For our self-employed or business owner clients, we also assist in the selection and management of new retirement plans.
Employee Equity Compensation
Many employees receive equity compensation as a supplement to their salaries. This can include incentive stock options and nonqualified stock option plans, restricted stock, and employee stock ownership plans.
We provide assistance to help executives manage complex equity compensation packages.
