OVERVIEW
Employees and executives with stock options, restricted stock/RSUs, or founder's stock in fast-growing private companies face important wealth-building and tax-minimizing decisions. In 100 minutes, this webinar covers the fundamentals of private company stock grants and related strategies for financial and tax planning that can help advisors serve these clients effectively, build wealth, and prevent expensive mistakes.

Decreasing valuations for private company stock, shifts in the resale markets, and the decline in IPOs make the need for effective guidance even more important, as this webinar covers. Plus, now is the best time to position your clients for the rebound in IPOs.

The webinar features a panel of three leading financial and tax advisors presenting practical guidance and real-world case studies. Their insights and expertise apply to clients at both startups and later-stage private companies, from the time of grant until the company goes public or is acquired.

"One of the best and most practical webinars I have attended. As always, you put together a great panel."
—Aric Jacobson (JD, LLM, CFP®), Commonwealth Financial Network
