Augury was the reading of signs — an attempt to act with the long view in mind.

Jack Meccia
FOUNDING ATTORNEY
Jack founded Augur Tax Law Advisory to help innovators at frontier technology, AI, and biopharmaceutical companies unlock high-impact income tax planning opportunities tied to concentrated single-stock positions.
Jack combines experience developing proprietary tax models for concentrated single-stock positions with preparing complex individual income tax returns, enabling practical collaboration with clients' banks and estate planners to implement new planning strategies.
Jack has been a thought leader in the space of tax planning for equity compensation. During Snapchat's IPO in 2017, Jack was quoted on tax strategy by the Los Angeles Times. When the Tax Cuts and Jobs Act was passed, the San Francisco Chronicle quoted Jack on changes to the Alternative Minimum Tax. When Carta began posting educational content in 2020, Jack was the first tax advisor to be featured in a post about the tax implications of compensatory stock options.
In the nascent years of generative AI, Jack in 2020-2021 served on the product advisory board of a company that applies AI and machine learning to tax law, and prompted it to develop a module on Qualified Small Business Stock.
Jack graduated with high honors from The College of New Jersey with a bachelor's degree in philosophy. He was president of the debate team, and the sole recipient of the philosophy department's academic award. Jack received his JD from Arizona State University College of Law, and was a research assistant for a professor of tax law.
After more than a decade in private client tax consulting, Jack was admitted to The Florida Bar shortly after building a new home in Sarasota.
