A new resource for equity-compensated employees, Beyond the Vest is now available for preorder ahead of its June 9, 2026 launch.
NEW YORK CITY, NY / ACCESS Newswire / May 7, 2026 / Giovanni Tiso, CFP®, a financial planner specializing in equity compensation, has published Beyond the Vest: A Practical Guide to Equity Compensation and Financial Planning, a comprehensive resource for employees who receive equity as part of their compensation and want to make smarter, more intentional decisions with it.
The book is available now for presale on Amazon, with all formats officially launching June 9, 2026.
Equity compensation, including RSUs, RSAs, stock options, and ESPPs, has become a cornerstone of total compensation across both public and private companies. Yet most employees have limited access to guidance that addresses both the mechanics and the broader financial picture. The result is costly mistakes: missed elections, poorly timed sales, concentrated positions, and avoidable tax bills.
Beyond the Vest spans 12 chapters covering the full equity compensation lifecycle: award types, how stock options and restricted stock work, ESPPs, pre-IPO equity, tax planning, integration into a broader financial plan, and real-world case studies. It is written at practitioner depth and accessible to any reader, whether they are opening their first grant agreement or preparing for a liquidity event.
"People with equity compensation have worked incredibly hard for what they have earned," said Tiso. "The wrong decisions at the wrong time can derail years of progress, not because someone wasn't smart enough, but because the right information wasn't accessible. This book is meant to give readers someone in their corner. Not just to explain the tax side or mechanics, but to help them think about equity as part of a broader plan, one that actually works for their life and their goals."
Tiso is a CERTIFIED FINANCIAL PLANNER® professional with over a decade of specialized experience advising clients on RSUs, RSAs, ISOs, NQSOs, 83(b) elections, tender offers, QSBS, and liquidity events. He works with equity-compensated employees across all stages of the equity compensation journey, from understanding their first grant to navigating complex liquidity events.
