Plan Around Your Tech Equity

Stock options, RSUs, ESPP, and startup equity create complex financial decisions. I work with tech professionals in the Pacific Northwest on coordinated compensation planning.

How I Help Tech Professionals

Stock Options & RSUs

Navigate ISOs, NQSOs, and RSUs across any tech company. I help with exercise timing, tax optimization, and diversification strategies.

IPO Planning

When your company files to go public, the planning window is short. I model ISO exercise timing relative to the expected offering price, project AMT exposure, and build a post-lockup diversification plan before your first sale opportunity arrives.

Concentrated Positions

Reduce single-stock risk without triggering unnecessary taxes. Systematic diversification, charitable strategies, and hedging options.

FIRE Planning

Many tech professionals aim for financial independence and early retirement. I build bridge strategies and tax-efficient withdrawal plans. Retiring early also means a longer drawdown and more exposure to sequence-of-returns risk, which I plan for directly.

Startup Equity

Evaluate your equity package before you join or when you receive a new grant. I help with early exercise decisions, 83(b) elections within the 30-day window, and whether your shares qualify for the QSBS federal tax exclusion under Section 1202.

Cross-Border Planning

H-1B, L-1, and international employees face specific tax and immigration-related financial considerations. I coordinate across jurisdictions.
