Advisory Services for ESOP Companies & Businesses Considering an ESOP
FORVIS offers national resources with a focused passion for employee stock ownership.
From our experience working with approximately 400+ ESOP clients, FORVIS understands privately owned businesses and the unique succession issues they face. During the past decade, we have worked with some of the country's largest 100% ESOP-owned S corporations, acting as the principal closing coordinator for more than $2.7 billion in leveraged ESOP transactions. We stay abreast of legislative changes that could affect ESOPs, offer assistance to companies regarding the potential impact to their organization, and provide a variety of professional services to employee-owned clients. Additionally, FORVIS is a top provider of auditing services for ESOP plans.
We provide accounting, tax, and advisory services ranging from acquisition assistance to executive compensation design. Our ESOP team also can educate employees, including CEOs, about the plan benefits and the importance of each person's part in making the plan work. Other services include ESOP feasibility, coordinating ESOP transactions, restructuring existing ESOPs, analyzing potential acquisition opportunities, ESOP repurchase analysis, and ESOP record-keeping and compliance services.
