Brinton Eaton Releases White Paper to Help Executives Maximize their Compensation Packages
Many individuals don’t know all the right questions to ask their benefits department and could end up leaving money on the table
Brinton Eaton, a wealth advisory firm based in Northern New Jersey, today released a white paper, Executive Guide to Making the Right Compensation Decisions. The paper contains detailed information to help busy executives make the most of their compensation packages, including several key issues to consider beyond annual salary and bonus.
“Your total employment compensation is, in effect, a portfolio of short- and long-term assets,” says Robert J. DiQuollo, president and chief executive officer of Brinton Eaton, and the paper’s author. “These assets must be properly maximized—and their risks mitigated—in order to ensure that no money is ‘left on the table’.”
Much like the story of the cobbler who is too busy to make shoes for his own children, mid- and senior-level executives are often so focused on day-to-day business and other operational matters that they only occasionally evaluate their long-term financial situation. The paper, available at http://www.brintoneaton.com/library/research-briefs-white-papers/, addresses several important topics to help executives avoid common mistakes that can cost them money now and in the future, including:
- Not spacing out their 401(k) contributions in an optimal manner;
- Using retirement money to pay college costs; and
- Incurring unnecessary penalties and costs, among others.
The paper also explores Qualified and Non-Qualified Plans, the Benefits and Pitfalls of Deferred Compensation, Maximizing Your 401(k) Plan: Stock Options and Restricted Stock, Naming the Right Beneficiaries, and Looking Ahead.
“All are crucial elements in your financial planning,” adds DiQuollo. “Addressing these items sooner rather than later will help ensure that busy executives and their families are financially comfortable and secure for many years to come.”
