About ExecStockTax

Stock compensation should build wealth, not stress.
But between AMT, vesting schedules, blackout periods, and tax codes that read like ancient legal fan fiction, many high earners are left asking:

“When exactly am I allowed to sell this stuff... and how badly will it hurt when I do?”

That’s where this site comes in.

ExecStockTax.com is a blog for people who’ve worked hard, earned meaningful company stock, and now want to understand how to manage it — without handing over half to the IRS, or all to confusion.

Who This Is For

If you:

• Are in your 50s or 60s

• Work (or worked) at a publicly traded company

• Have stock options, RSUs, or a strong desire to retire without accidentally triggering an audit...

You’re in the right place.

What You’ll Find Here

• Practical tax insights around RSUs, ISOs, NSOs, and exit planning

• Real scenarios and mistakes to avoid

• Short, sharp blog posts with a side of sarcasm

• And absolutely no jargon-filled sales pitches disguised as “thought leadership”

We believe equity compensation is one of the most powerful tools for building wealth — and that it should be navigated with strategy, timing, and maybe a calculator or two.

Who’s Behind This

This blog is written by a real human who understands executive tax planning, equity compensation, and the difference between long-term gains and long-term pain. I’ve spent years advising executives, trustees, and professionals on how to make smarter decisions with concentrated stock and complex tax scenarios.

ExecStockTax is my way of sharing that knowledge — freely, clearly, and with just enough humor to keep you reading.

Because equity should feel like a reward, not a tax liability in a suit and tie.
