Dividend Disbursement & Reinvestment Services

Dividend disbursement means more than just providing your shareholders with a cash return on their investments. EQ can help you use investment plan programs as a valuable way to strengthen shareholder loyalty while gaining a significant source of recurring capital for your firm through a direct purchase or dividend reinvestment plan.

Tax Operations

Keeping up with tax regulation changes can be burdensome and, if not followed properly, may result in penalties from the IRS. Having an expert partner take care of the operational support associated with proper tax reporting will help keep your mind at ease and IRS penalties at bay.
