Equity compensation is a significant P&L expense at most venture-backed and growth-stage companies — and it's frequently wrong. Options and RSUs require Black-Scholes or Monte Carlo valuation, cliff and graded vesting schedules, modification accounting when grants are repriced, and disclosure treatment that differs between ASC 718 and IFRS 2. Most companies manage this in a spreadsheet or the same tool that issues the grants — which means the P&L expense is often understated, the dilution isn't properly modeled, and the board doesn't have a clean view of what equity has actually cost.
