Case Study
Carefully Managing A Windfall
Things were going well for Peter in his professional life. A busy executive, he had just received a hefty performance-based bonus – money that could go a long way in helping his old high school renovate its aging buildings and expand its arts programs. Making a large donation to the school with part of his bonus had been on his mind for a while, and now that the timing was right, he wanted to make the most of the funds. To manage the complex issues that come with such a windfall, we would coordinate with Peter’s tax advisor on a strategy designed to make a significant charitable impact while mitigating taxes. We would also recommend the use of a deferred compensation plan for the remainder of his bonus, allowing him to spread out the tax liability.
