Overview
We advise New Zealand and international businesses on all aspects of employee incentive schemes, from navigating complex tax consequences to designing bespoke, tailor-made schemes that work for your business.
Whether you are preparing a high-growth business for a future liquidity event, aligning ownership interests with senior management, acquiring or divesting a business, setting up a new business for success or simply looking to refresh an existing scheme, our team has the expertise and the right solution for you.
Why it matters
A well-structured employee incentive scheme is one of the most powerful tools available to businesses looking to attract and retain top-tier talent. For high-growth businesses in particular, having a functioning, healthy scheme in place is essential.
Our approach
We tailor our advice to your business's specific size, stage, and needs. Depending on your circumstances, we can:
- Design and implement an entirely new, bespoke scheme suited to your business and its goals
- Amend existing schemes to address evolving commercial and tax considerations
- Review and resolve any issues with an existing scheme to ensure it is working as intended
- Conduct regular health checks to confirm your scheme remains compliant with current law.
