What an RSU-literate advisor actually does
A good RSU advisor in Los Angeles runs the arithmetic most people won't: the gap between your 22% supplemental withholding and your actual marginal rate, the quarterly estimated payments sized to your specific vest schedule, and the sell-at-vest policy that de-concentrates your position without triggering surprise tax events. In California, layer on 13.3% state tax; that pushes combined marginal into the mid-40s for most senior IC earners.
Questions to ask
How many RSU-heavy clients do you work with right now? Do you run quarterly tax projections keyed to vest dates? Do you have a written sell-at-vest default policy, and what triggers the override? If the advisor's answers sound more like generic wealth-manager bullet points than specific operational answers, keep looking.
