High-rise office buildings representing equity management and stock plan administration

Equity management company for private and public organizations

Accelerate your equity's potential

Accelerated Equity Plans helps companies run compliant, efficient equity compensation programs with senior support across administration, systems, reporting, and strategic transactions.

The administrators who founded AEP in 2021 came from issuer stock plan teams, Deloitte's equity practice, and the brokers that service equity plans.

  • Stock plan administration
  • Equity platform support
  • IPO, M&A, and compliance projects

What we handle

We manage stock plan administration from setup to compliance. We cover seasonal peaks and temporary gaps on your team, and we handle Mergers and Acquisitions, IPOs, SPACs, Corporate Actions, and Automation Design.

Where equity programs fall behind

Your equity program answers to employees, shareholders, and auditors at the same time. A funding round, a new award type, or a move into a new country can put it out of step with all three. AEP builds and runs the program, from grant records through the filings your auditors ask for.

How we work

We work in benchmarking, reporting, and the systems your team already uses. You end up knowing whether a plan is competitive, whether you are ready for an audit, and why employees are not participating.

Who we serve

AEP works with growing startups, pre-IPO companies, and established public companies. Our team has supported equity programs in technology, biotech, financial services, and other industries.

Deputy CAO

I’ve worked with Emily over several years in different capacities. I was thrilled to learn that Emily had started Accelerated Equity Plans. AEP is my go-to for anything equity I need assistance with. Emily has assisted with process improvements, process documentation, as well as making herself available for random questions along the way.
