In the Spotlight
“One of the things that I really value from my clients is when they give me feedback on something that we implemented as part of their plan when it actually comes to fruition. So usually, this is accomplishing some sort of goal – whether that’s putting their kids through college or on track for retirement – but when it actually gets to the point of realizing that goal and they tell me about it.”

Mitch has a particular affinity for employee equity compensation, things like stock options, Employee Stock Purchase Plans, and more. Stock and stock options are a key part of compensation for many employees in Madison, with several of the key employers in the STEM field – Epic and Exact Sciences to name a couple. Because of the importance of equity comp to employees both in the Madison area and throughout the country, Mitch put together a series on the key types of compensation via stock or stock options. There’s also this written piece that accompanied the video series. Outside of equity comp, Mitch has covered topics like ESG investing, taxes, and investing strategies like Mega backdoor Roth conversions.
