ESOP PLAN DESIGN MATRIX
When designed and implemented correctly, an ESOP provides significant benefits to both your business and employees. Our customized process starts with a thorough understanding of your company’s and employees’ needs, through the use of our ESOP design matrix. This tool enables you to assess various provisions—such as eligibility, vesting schedules, contribution formulas, and distribution policies—by weighing their pros and cons, helping you craft an ESOP plan tailored to your specific needs.

With a team of assurance, tax and benefits professionals who have integrated ESOPs into their services, you will benefit from the in-depth experience and innovative ideas our professionals bring to the table. We simplify the complex options within the design process, guiding you in creating an ESOP plan built for the success of both your company and the ESOP Trust.
