Step 2: Assumptions

After building the foundation of the model, we'll schedule a meeting to:

  • Walk through the model structure and methodology
  • Review preliminary outputs
  • Discuss and customize key assumptions, including:
    • Employee turnover
    • Distribution policy
    • Repurchase strategy
    • Growth projections (valuation growth, payroll growth, contribution rates)

Your insights ensure that the model reflects real-world expectations and strategic intent.

Step 3: Finalize Draft

We will then schedule a meeting to:

  • Present the comprehensive repurchase obligation report

  • Explore alternative scenarios based on your planning horizon and priorities

This session equips you with the information needed to support financial planning, board discussions, and proactive ESOP stewardship.
