Share-based payments guide
Get audit-ready with Carta’s free expense reporting guide.
A share-based payment is a transaction that occurs when your company offers equity instruments, other assets or a cash equivalent to a third party (e.g. an employee) in exchange for goods or services. Since there’s always a cost associated with granting equity, you need to report share-based payments as a business expense.
To demystify the expense reporting process for non-experts, we’ve created a comprehensive guide, covering everything from company requirements to common mistakes. Get to grips with share-based payments today so you can prepare for future eventualities – whether a funding round, an acquisition or an audit is on the horizon.
