Independent, partner-level counsel on executive and board pay for Sacramento-area public, private, family-held, pre-IPO and nonprofit organisations.
RB Consulting Services advises Sacramento-area public companies, private and family-held businesses, pre-IPO firms and nonprofits on executive and board compensation — independently, and at partner level on every engagement.
We have sat on the other side of the table. Our team led compensation programs inside large multinational public companies — running committee cycles alongside committee chairs, administering equity across 30+ countries, owning proxy and regulatory disclosure — before advising from the outside.
A note on data. We publish metro-level benchmark tables where our underlying cohorts genuinely differentiate at that level. For Sacramento-Roseville-Folsom, CA they do not yet — the figures would sit within a couple of percent of the Los Angeles numbers, which is not a meaningful distinction to put in front of a board. So we publish California statewide benchmarks instead, and label them as such. When the underlying metro adjustment improves, this page gets its own tables.
Our Los Angeles page carries the California market detail, and the California compliance page covers what the state requires of employers.
No — we are not a Sacramento-headquartered firm, and we would rather say so than imply otherwise. We work with clients in the region remotely and on-site as engagements require, including attending compensation committee meetings in person.
Median total compensation for an executive director or CEO at a $10M–$25M human services organisation in Sacramento-Roseville-Folsom, CA is $204,000, drawn from IRS Form 990 e-file disclosures. That is one number, and one number is not §4958 documentation — the presumption turns on appropriate comparability data, meaning the percentile range, the sector and budget cuts, and the peer set behind the figure. Those sit in CauseComp.
Senior people do the work rather than scoping it, there is no cross-sell into benefits brokerage or survey subscriptions, and our team has held the in-house seat — building and running these programs, not only recommending them.
Direct, partner-level engagement from the first conversation.
