Are your RSUs and year-end taxes about to surprise you—or are you planning now to keep more of what you earn?

In this episode of Jet Setting Wealth Advisory, David sits down with Ariel Haughton, Senior Tax Specialist at Goldstein Tax Advisors, and returning guest Barry Kaufman for a clear, candid walkthrough of equity compensation and proactive tax strategy. Ariel explains how RSUs actually hit your paycheck, what “grant” and “vesting” really mean, and the simple habits that prevent April shocks. The conversation expands to ISOs and AMT timing, entity choices for business owners, and why women increasingly leading household finances benefit from jargon-free guidance and year-round planning.

Key Takeaways:
→ RSUs often withhold at 22% while your actual bracket may be higher
→ Track your basis at vesting so you don’t get taxed twice when you sell
→ Time ISO exercises with AMT in mind and your full income picture
→ Proactive, year-round planning beats last-minute filings for stress and penalty avoidance
→ Separate business and personal accounts to strengthen deductions and clean books
