Tech Equity & Empty-Nest Retirement

RSUs vested, kids out of the house, retirement closer than it feels. Now what?

We help dual-income tech households turn concentrated company stock, deferred compensation, and a fast-approaching empty nest into a clear, tax-aware retirement plan.

Practice lead: Hannah Liang, CFP
Who this is for

You're in the right place if…

  • You and your spouse both earn W-2 income at tech companies.
  • You have meaningful RSU, ISO, or ESPP exposure to a single employer.
  • You're 5–10 years from retirement and the kids are leaving the house.
What we do

The work, specifically.

01

Concentrated stock diversification

10b5-1 plans, exchange funds, and charitable trusts — sequenced to reduce single-stock risk without writing an oversized tax check.

02

RSU and ISO tax planning

Vesting calendars modeled across years, AMT projections, and disqualifying-vs-qualifying disposition decisions made deliberately.

03

Deferred compensation election strategy

Election windows, distribution schedules, and the credit-risk question most people never ask about their own employer.

04

Empty-nest cash-flow modeling

What life costs when the kids are out of the house — including the travel, sabbatical, and second-home math people are afraid to put on paper.

05

529 windup and education funding

What to do with leftover 529 balances, including Roth conversions under the new rules and gifting to the next generation.

06

Retirement income sourcing

Where each year of retirement income comes from across taxable, tax-deferred, and Roth accounts — built to keep brackets low for decades.
