Financial Planning for Corporate Executives

At McDonough Capital Management, we recognize that corporate executives face unique and complex financial challenges. Between managing stock compensation plans, optimizing tax strategies, and planning for retirement, your financial world requires precision, skill, and efficiency. Our specialized wealth management for executives sees that your assets are working for you in the most strategic and tax-efficient manner possible.

Navigating Stock Compensation Plans

Navigating Stock Compensation Plans

As a corporate executive, your compensation package likely includes various stock-based incentives. While these can be lucrative, they also present intricate tax and financial planning considerations. We provide guidance on:

  • Restricted Stock Units (RSUs): Understanding vesting schedules, taxation implications, and optimal liquidation strategies.
  • Incentive Stock Options (ISOs): Evaluating when to exercise options to minimize tax liabilities and maximize long-term gains.
  • Non-Qualified Stock Options (NQSOs): Identifying the best approach to exercising and selling options while managing tax exposure.
  • Long-Term Incentive Plans (LTIs): Structuring your compensation to align with your financial goals and minimize unnecessary tax burdens.
  • Performance Stock Units (PSUs): Understanding performance-based equity incentives and their impact on wealth accumulation.

Tax Planning for Executives

High earners face complex tax scenarios, and proactive planning is crucial. Our team specializes in tax planning for executives to help you navigate:

Net Unrealized Appreciation (NUA)

A strategy for executives holding company stock in their retirement plans, allowing for tax-efficient withdrawals.

Tax-Efficient Stock Option Execution

Determining the most advantageous timing for exercising options to manage income tax brackets.

Deferring Compensation

Analyzing your defined benefit, defined contribution, and deferred compensation plans for optimal benefit realization.

Regulatory compliance

Staying ahead of evolving SEC regulations and insider trading restrictions to avoid compliance issues.

Executive Retirement Planning

Building a financially secure retirement requires an in-depth strategy. We provide comprehensive executive retirement planning, focusing on:

  • 401(k) maximization and Roth conversions

  • Deferred compensation plan structuring

Investment Planning for Corporate Leaders
