Equity Plan Solutions - Stock Plan Services

Equity Plan Solutions provides comprehensive stock plan management services for both Public and Private companies.  

Admin

Public & Private Stock Plan Management

The EPS Difference

 

​

More than just admin and transaction processing
We assist with more than just day-to-day administration: financial reporting, special projects, best practices, etc.

​

Depth of stock plan experience

Each member of the management team has 25+ years of experience in stock plans. Our public admin team has an average of 17+ years of stock plan experience, our project team has an average of 24+ years of stock plan experience.

Team approach
With some providers the quality of service depends entirely on the person providing support. EPS works as a team to ensure that client support is unparalleled

​

Backups for our backups
With EPS, clients are assigned a primary contact and a backup for vacations and illness. In addition, the leaders of the admin and other teams can step in as needed.

Comprehensive onboarding and process documentation
As a mandatory component of client onboarding, we work with clients to define and document their ongoing stock plan processes.

​

Database review
During your outsourcing implementation, the team performs a detailed review of your database, looking for common issues and opportunities for process improvement.

​​

Proactive partnership
We take a proactive approach rather than a reactive one.  We focus on building relationships and long-term planning

Hourly support

We bill hourly, rather than an annual fixed fee, which saves you money. Sometimes you need more support, and sometimes you need less. Pay only for the services you need.

​

No long-term contract commitment

Some providers insist that clients sign a 2- or 3-year contract, but  EPS earns client retention through excellent service.
