Business owners & founders

We work with business owners preparing for a sale, buyout, or recapitalization. Planning typically starts 1 to 5 years before the event and can include QSBS §1202 exclusion planning, trust structuring, and coordination with your banker and attorney throughout the deal.

We work with executives holding concentrated company stock, RSUs, or options, including many who work in or commute to San Francisco. This includes 10b5-1 plan design, staged diversification, and coordinated tax planning around vesting and sale timing.
