Compensation Plan Design: Maximizing Your Investment in Talent

We are known for cleaning up compensation problems and helping you to make the most of your investment in talent.

We begin by understanding your business priorities and culture, collaborating with owners to build a compensation philosophy, your framework for consistent compensation decisions. Next, we develop our detailed compensation recommendations.

Let's Work Together

‍

Our comprehensive approach will:

- Ensure a clear compensation philosophy aligned with your business priorities
- Eliminate ambiguity in pay decisions
- Establish a compensation structure that motivates and retains top talent
- Provide detailed guidance on compensation levels and the adjustment processes

‍

We collaborate closely with owners to walk them through the proposed compensation model and ensure comfort and readiness to proceed.

‍

Our expertise turns compensation from a pain point into a strategic advantage, helping you maximize your investment in talent and drive firm performance.

‍

Resolving long-standing compensation issues requires specific know-how. Let's discuss how we can create a model that works for your firm.

‍

Performance Management:

Realizing Powerful Potential

‍

Alongside every great compensation plan is a performance management framework to set performance objectives, track, measure and reward success.

‍

We work with leadership to craft smart performance objectives and to support the rollout. Where needed, we also coach your leadership team in conducting performance reviews and compensation discussions.

‍

Our performance management framework also provides guidance to people leaders in the area of professional development to support the advancement of talent along their career path.

‍

We don't just guide you on the numbers—we create a comprehensive framework that motivates, retains, and develops your most valuable asset: your people.

Working with Eliza was a transformative experience for our firm. She guided us in developing a focused strategic plan that aligned with our long-term vision.

Craig Joncas

CEO, Penobscot Financial Advisors

Portland, Maine

We hired Eliza and her team to help us think through an M&A strategy as our firm had not done any transactions at that point in time. Since that engagement, we have done over three dozen transactions and have grown our enterprise value 20x. Her wisdom and insight moved us in the right direction.

Eliza De Pardo was instrumental in the reshaping of our advisory firm from an ad hoc collaborative effort to a harmonious ensemble of technicians working together as planning teams to enhance the overall client experience.

Beacon Pointe engaged with Eliza at a pivotal point in our evolution. She worked directly with the board of Beacon Pointe and was quite intuitive with her assessment of the situation. Her knowledge and experience was exhibited in a wisdom that was delivered in a professional yet direct manner.

Matthew B. Cooper

Partner, President

Beacon Pointe Wealth Advisors, Newport Beach, California

As Carlson Capital Management approached a unique nexus in the development of our firm, we required expert, independent counsel to help us confront the challenges and limitations within our existing (legacy) advisory structure. Eliza uniquely blends the art of data-gathering and interviewing to present solutions that are custom-fit to the needs and mission of the organization.

Justin Stets

President

Carlson Capital Management, Minneapolis/St. Paul, Minnesota

I am most appreciative to have worked with Eliza. Her experience and knowledge are evident immediately as we worked through the discovery process. Her grace and patience allow for the intersection between the business goals and execution of those goals. The coaching on implementing the plan is as valuable as the plan itself.

Michael Goodman

President, Principal

WealthStream Advisors. Inc. New York

We engaged with Eliza to assist our firm to reset our strategic agenda, having significantly broadened our ownership group. Eliza was masterful in guiding our group; from gathering the background information, to guiding us over the two-day program.
