Demystify Financial Planning For Pre-IPO Equity Comp With myStockOptions.com Webinar On Sept. 22

Private companies are growing fast and initial public offerings (IPOs) are booming. Important financial and tax decisions are faced by employees and executives at private companies who have equity compensation, such as stock options, restricted stock, restricted stock units (RSUs), or founder’s stock.

myStockOptions.com, the leader in online educational resources for stock compensation, is holding a special webinar about private company equity comp on September 22, 2021 (2pm–3:40pm ET, 11am–12:40pm PT). It offers crucial guidance on planning for equity comp and shares in private companies, from startup to IPO or acquisition.

The webinar features a panel of three leading financial advisors, who will present practical guidance and case studies. In 100 minutes, they will cover the fundamentals of private company stock grants and related strategies for financial and tax planning, both to build wealth and prevent expensive mistakes.

“This is a unique opportunity for employees and their financial advisors to demystify the complexity of equity comp and shares in private companies,” says webinar moderator Bruce Brumberg, the editor-in-chief of myStockOptions.com, which also has a website section on all topics in private company equity compensation.
