Frequently Asked Questions

Executive compensation is a structured pay package designed to create alignment between executive pay and shareholder benefits. It is usually based on the company’s performance. Executive compensation plans need to be carefully reviewed and remade to achieve a healthier balance between short- and long-term business goals. Outdated executive compensation solutions can lead to costly, long-lasting problems.
Our services are designed for business owners looking to set up their plans, CFOs, COOs, heads of HR, private equity firms wanting to audit their portfolio companies, companies going public, and companies going through mergers and acquisitions that need support restructuring all the executive compensation.
Executive compensation solutions should include a base salary, performance-based annual and long-term incentives, benefits, executive perquisites, and contingent payments. Additionally, aspects like the alignment of EBITDA attained, productivity issues of business, and generational cohort in the company should be considered when designing the unique compensation plan.
Services often include benchmarking studies to compare compensation levels with peer companies, structuring and valuation of various forms of compensation like stock options, reviewing employment contracts, and advising on performance metrics and targets. Services could include preparing for “say-on-pay” shareholder votes, assessing risk in compensation plans, and ensuring regulatory compliance.
As consultants we review and advise on executive employment agreements, severance packages, and change-of-control provisions while harmonizing compensation structures between the merging companies, which can be crucial for a smooth integration.
Stock options and other equity-based incentives are designed to align the interests of the CEO with those of shareholders. When the company’s stock price goes up, the value of stock options and equity awards also increases, which can result in substantial financial gain for the CEO. This theoretically incentivizes the CEO to make decisions that will increase shareholder value over the long term.

Leadership & Business Feature

What is the fundamental difference between a buoyant company and a not-so-good one, when all the factors are the same?
The reply is simple- expeditious actions. It is the outcome of the ability to form an idea about the situation, find a perfect response,
and then act accordingly. And all that, without an iota of hesitation. Companies that belong to the second group are known to lack this decisiveness, which sprouts from an absence of clarity in vision or rather the faculty of processing the steps mentioned above.​
