Executive and equity compensation plans generally form the foundation of the personal financial plans of executives and key employees. A true specialty for the personal financial planner, executive compensation planning requires a mastery of several subject areas, allowing the executive to navigate through a myriad of compensation options, including:
* Traditional bonuses
* Supplemental retirement plans
* Stocks
* Other pseudo ownership incentives
