Compensation and benefits
Compensation and benefits tax services that empower businesses in a competitive market
Picking the right compensation and benefits scheme to attract and retain talent is a complex process.
Your success in the marketplace hinges on recruiting top employees and executives. You want the program to align with your long-term business strategy.
Despite this, you must monitor and adhere to the ever-changing regulations and tax policies.
And you need to do it across multiple programs both at the organizational and individual level.
It’s a lot, but we can help. For decades, we’ve helped middle market businesses plan and implement compensation and benefits programs that are tax advantageous. We understand the many tax, compliance and reporting challenges you face.
RSM goes beyond tax. We seamlessly coordinate services across your company—from auditing your employee benefits plans to designing your total rewards programs. Also ask us about variable pay/incentive programs for for-profit and nonprofit entities.
Compensation and benefits plans and programs we’ll advise on include:
Employee benefits programs are crucial for recruiting and retaining talent. But employee demands for more flexible programs can create tax and compliance concerns. We’ll keep you compliant and evaluate your strategies across a range of program types.
Need ideas for attracting new talent and keeping current staff satisfied? Employee stock ownership plans (ESOPs) help business owners reward staff while maintaining company continuity. We’ll help you establish a new plan or optimize an existing one.
Nonprofit executive compensation plans are complex from a taxation standpoint. In addition to standard benefits, senior management may receive nontaxable and taxable benefits requiring compliance. We’ll ensure the correct tax regulations are applied.
Employment tax compliance is more than just filing payroll reports—it's about managing risk, navigating multistate complexities, and ensuring accurate treatment of your workforce. RSM helps businesses address gaps in their federal, state, and local payroll tax processes through a proactive, issue-spotting approach. Our services cover worker classification, notice resolution, audit support, transaction support and due diligence, and compliance for mobile and global employees. Whether you're managing routine filings or preparing for an acquisition, we help you strengthen compliance and identify cost savings opportunities.
