  • Employee Ownership Trusts with John Stevens and Jason Vandenberg of Camilla Advisory Group

    Employee Ownership Trusts with John Stevens and Jason Vandenberg of Camilla Advisory Group
    2024/11/19
    In this episode, Munir Haque speaks with John Stevens and Jason Vandenberg, president and senior vice president of Camilla Advisory Group, about their approach to employee ownership and advisory services. John and Jason discuss Camilla’s three primary service areas: employee share plans, fractional CFO services, and merger and acquisition (M&A) advisory. They emphasize their focus on employee ownership trusts as a means for companies to empower employees and build business value.They explore the rising interest in employee ownership trusts (EOT), an interest which has gained momentum with recent Canadian legislation offering a $10 million capital gains exemption as a tax incentive. Modeled after U.S. and U.K. frameworks, the legislation aims to make employee ownership financially appealing, especially for small to mid-sized businesses. According to John Stevens, employee ownership helps to foster loyalty and alignment among employees, often leading to increased productivity and long-term growth.John and Jason also discuss the practical benefits of EOTs with Munir, such as preserving a company’s brand, culture, and community presence. They highlight potential pitfalls, stress the importance of clear communication and financial literacy in EOTs, and detail some effective communication strategies that include using internal champions from various departments to address employee and family concerns about the trust structure. Additionally, they advise continuous involvement from advisors like themselves, especially for annual updates and administrative changes. Their approach can lead to transformative shifts in company culture, where employees feel invested in business growth and cost management.About John Stevens:John Stevens has had a distinguished career over the past 30+ years, holding titles including Senior Vice President, President, CFO, COO, and CEO of fast-growing organizations like Nilsson Bros.

The challenge is that you can get caught in the group think that we spoke about earlier. Right from the cognitive level, from the personality level, it can be important to look at that. Boards can, over time, begin to think about things like this.
