Typical comp shape
CFOs usually earn large rsu + psu + iso packages. Common employers include Stripe, Databricks, Snowflake. CFO 10b5-1 plans face heightened SEC scrutiny, so trading-window and cooling-off-period compliance drives diversification timing.
What Nevada changes
Nevada has no wage income tax, which is structurally favorable for cfos with meaningful RSU comp. The savings vs a CA-resident colleague can be $30-60k per year at senior IC levels. That math is why Austin and Seattle are the two top relocation destinations for Bay Area tech workers.
Planning cadence
For a cfo in Nevada, the three planning windows are: after each RSU vest (withholding check and sell-vs-hold), before any ISO exercise (AMT model at federal only), and in Q4 (estimated tax top-up to clear the safe harbor). A move-out question — if you're considering leaving Nevada for a high-tax state, time it around vesting.
