Vesting You Never Have to Track by Hand
Cliffs, monthly vesting, milestone triggers, and acceleration are error-prone in a spreadsheet. Fintra tracks every grant’s vesting live and feeds it into expense and employee views.
What vesting tracking covers
Every grant on the cap table carries its vesting schedule - cliff, vesting cadence, and any milestone or acceleration terms - and Fintra computes vested-versus-unvested continuously. That live vesting state drives ASC 718 expense, employee equity views, and exercise eligibility, so one calculation feeds everything.
- Cliffs, monthly/quarterly vesting, and milestones
- Acceleration terms (single/double trigger)
- Live vested-vs-unvested per grant
- Drives expense, employee views, and exercise
Vesting patterns it handles
| Pattern | Example |
|---|---|
| Standard 4-year, 1-year cliff | 25% at 12 months, then monthly |
| Monthly with no cliff | Even monthly vesting |
| Milestone-based | Vests on defined events |
| Acceleration | Single/double-trigger on change of control |
One number, everywhere
Wired into stock comp
- Vesting drives ASC 718 recognition

- Gates option exercise eligibility
Frequently asked questions
What vesting structures does Fintra support?
Standard time-based vesting with cliffs (e.g., four-year with a one-year cliff), monthly or quarterly cadences, milestone-based vesting, and acceleration terms like single- or double-trigger on a change of control. Each grant carries its own schedule.
Does vesting connect to stock-comp expense?
Yes - the live vesting state drives ASC 718 expense recognition, so the expense schedule always matches actual vesting. It also powers employee equity views and exercise eligibility, all from one calculation.
What is a vesting cliff?
A cliff is an initial period during which nothing vests; at the cliff date a chunk vests at once (commonly 25% at the one-year mark), and vesting continues on a cadence after that. Fintra handles cliffs automatically rather than relying on a manual date check.
Can employees see their vesting?
Yes. Live vested-versus-unvested feeds employee equity and total-compensation views, so people can see exactly how much of their grant has vested at any time - no emailing HR for a spreadsheet.
