Reviewed by iTechGuides Editors · Editorial team · Updated Oct 2026
ShareForce is an equity compensation management platform for finance, HR and reward teams at private, listed and multinational companies. It covers employee share and incentive plans from grant and vesting through settlement, participant communications, valuation, tax calculations and IFRS 2 or ASC 718 reporting. Its scope includes LTIP, RSU, SAYE, SIP, ESPP, phantom stock, SAR, PSP, options and cash-based plans, with employee self-service, approval workflows, audit trails and custom reporting.
Its strongest fit is complex plan administration across jurisdictions. ShareForce supports time-based, milestone-based and hybrid vesting, performance condition modelling, scenario testing and tax calculations across multiple jurisdictions. Fair value work can use Monte Carlo, Binomial Tree and Black-Scholes models. The platform also connects with Workday, BambooHR, HiBob, SAP, PeopleSoft, FactSet, DocuSign, Airwallex and other HR, payroll, finance and settlement systems, giving larger organizations a broad integration path.
The plan structure includes Comprehensive, with equity and cap table management, new award issues, employee self-service, IFRS/GAAP expense reporting, complex tax calculations and Binomial and Black-Scholes models. Preparing for Growth adds executive and broad-based plan administration, trading and settlement, and Monte Carlo valuation. Customisable adds configurable platform architecture, advanced IFRS 2 / ASC 718 reporting, a dedicated account manager and HRIS, payroll and accounting integrations. ShareForce suits enterprises that need valuation depth and multinational reporting; smaller teams seeking a free entry point or a simpler web-based tool should consider a narrower alternative.
