Employee Stock Ownership Plans (ESOP)
ESOPs are a great way to better engage your employees, create smart cash flow opportunities and eventually a thoughtful exit strategy.
At Wright Ford Young & Co., we take your finances as seriously as you do. We recognize the complexities that arise when establishing and maintaining an ESOP and have experts to provide the most effective ESOP strategies and solutions.
From disseminating shares of departing partners, to borrowing money, to employee benefits, our team walks you through the ESOP process developing a custom approach to mitigate your tax cost while considering opportunities for deductions and/or deferrals.
With Wright Ford Young at the helm, you can run your business with confidence knowing that you will maintain compliance and avoid potential fines, penalties, and inquiries from the Department of Labor and the IRS, keeping your company protected and investments profitable.
