Income Tax Disclosure [Abstract] |
Income Taxes | Income Taxes A portion of the Company's income is subject to U.S. federal, state, local and foreign income taxes and is taxed at the prevailing corporate tax rates. Taxes Payable as of December 31, 2024 and 2023 were $4,781 and $5,424, respectively. In October 2021, members of the Organization for Economic Co-operation and Development ("OECD") agreed on a two-pillar tax framework to realign international taxation with economic activities, including a coordinated set of rules designed to ensure large multinational enterprises pay a minimum 15% tax rate across all jurisdictions, known as Pillar Two. The implications of these rules begin to take effect for corporations in 2024, as jurisdictions enact legislation in line with the OECD rules and related guidance. The Company is evaluating the current and proposed legislation of Pillar Two and does not expect it to materially impact the Company's effective tax rate in the future. Additionally, the Company is subject to the income tax effects associated with the global intangible low-taxed income ("GILTI") provisions in the period incurred. For the years ended December 31, 2024, 2023 and 2022, no additional income tax expense associated with the GILTI provisions has been recognized. The following table presents the U.S. and non-U.S. components of Income before income tax expense:

A reconciliation between the federal statutory income tax rate and the Company's effective income tax rate for the years ended December 31, 2024, 2023 and 2022 is as follows:
| For the Years Ended December 31,
| 2024 |  | 2023 |  | 2022
Reconciliation of Federal Statutory Tax Rates: |  |  |  |  |
U.S. Statutory Tax Rate | 21.0 | % |  | 21.0 | % |  | 21.0 | %
Increase Due to State and Local Taxes | 5.5 | % |  | 4.6 | % |  | 5.6 | %
Rate Benefits as a Limited Liability Company/Flow Through | (1.6) | % |  | (2.2) | % |  | (1.9) | %
Foreign Taxes | 2.5 | % |  | 0.5 | % |  | 1.0 | %

(1)Primarily related to non-deductible share-based compensation expense. The effective tax rate for the years ended December 31, 2024, 2023 and 2022 reflects the application of ASU 2016-09, "Improvements to Employee Share-Based Payment Accounting" ("ASU 2016-09"), which requires that the tax deduction associated with the appreciation or depreciation in the Company's share price upon vesting of employee share-based awards above or below the original grant price be reflected in income tax expense. The Company's Provision for Income Taxes reflects an additional tax benefit of $35,086, $13,699 and $19,633 for the years ended December 31, 2024, 2023 and 2022, respectively, related to the application of ASU 2016-09, and resulted in a reduction in the effective tax rate of 6.6, 3.7 and 2.8 percentage points for the years ended December 31, 2024, 2023 and 2022, respectively. The effective tax rate for 2024, 2023 and 2022 also reflects the effect of certain nondeductible expenses, including expenses related to Class I-P and K-P Units, as well as the noncontrolling interest associated with LP Units and other adjustments. Deferred income taxes are provided for the effects of temporary differences between the tax basis of an asset or liability and its reported amount in the Consolidated Statements of Financial Condition. These temporary differences result in taxable or deductible amounts in future years. Details of the Company's deferred tax assets and liabilities as of December 31, 2024 and 2023 were as follows:
| December 31,
| 2024 |  | 2023
Deferred Tax Assets: |  |  |
Depreciation and Amortization | $ | 21,316 |  |  | $ | 21,796 |
Compensation and Benefits | 149,275 |  |  | 142,340 |
Step up in tax basis due to the exchange of LP Units for Class A Shares(1) | 63,884 |  |  | 62,637 |
Step up in tax basis due to the exchange of LP Units for Class A Shares(2) | 42,503 |  |  | 39,999 |
Operating Lease | 132,504 |  |  | 112,715 |

(1)Step-up in the tax basis associated with the exchange of LP Units for holders which have a tax receivable agreement. (2)Step-up in the tax basis associated with the exchange of LP Units for holders which do not have a tax receivable agreement. The $18,694 increase in net deferred tax assets from December 31, 2023 to December 31, 2024 was primarily related to additions to deferred compensation expense exceeding the grant date value of prior awards which vested during the period, included in Compensation and Benefits, including the impact of the excess current year step-ups in the basis of the tangible and intangible assets of Evercore LP over amortization, as discussed below, and the wind-down of the operations in Mexico for tax purposes. In addition, as of December 31, 2024, management weighted both the positive and negative evidence and concluded that it was appropriate to decrease the valuation allowance by $12,144, attributable to the wind-down of the Company's operations in Mexico. During 2024, the LP holders exchanged 141 Class A and Class E LP Units for Class A Shares, which resulted in an increase in the tax basis of the tangible and intangible assets of Evercore LP. The exchange of certain Class E and Class A LP Units resulted in a $7,731 step-up in the tax basis of the tangible and intangible assets of Evercore LP and a corresponding increase to Additional Paid-In Capital on the Company's Consolidated Statement of Financial Condition as of December 31, 2024. Further, there was an exchange of 211 Class A LP Units that triggered an additional liability under the Tax Receivable Agreement that was entered into in 2006 between the Company and the LP Unit holders for the year ended December 31, 2024. The agreement provides for a payment to the LP Unit holders of 85% of the cash tax savings (if any), resulting from the increased tax benefits from the exchange and for the Company to retain 15% of such benefits. Accordingly, Deferred Tax Assets, Amounts Due Pursuant to Tax Receivable Agreements and Additional Paid-In Capital increased $13,510, $11,484 and $2,027, respectively, on the Company's Consolidated Statement of Financial Condition as of December 31, 2024. See Note 15 for further discussion. The Company recorded an increase in deferred tax assets of $20 associated with changes in Unrealized Gain (Loss) on Securities and Investments and an increase of $3,772 associated with changes in Foreign Currency Translation Adjustment Gain (Loss), in Accumulated Other Comprehensive Income (Loss) for the year ended December 31, 2024. The Company recorded an increase in deferred tax assets of $973 associated with changes in Unrealized Gain (Loss) on Securities and Investments and a decrease of $1,585 associated with changes in Foreign Currency Translation Adjustment Gain (Loss), in Accumulated Other Comprehensive Income (Loss) for the year ended December 31, 2023. A reconciliation of the changes in tax positions for the years ended December 31, 2024, 2023 and 2022 is as follows:
| December 31,
| 2024 |  | 2023 |  | 2022
Beginning unrecognized tax benefit | $ | 359 |  |  | $ | 359 |  |  | $ | 254 |
Additions for tax positions of prior years | 79 |  |  | — |  |  | 105 |
Reductions for tax positions of prior years | — |  |  | — |  |  | — |

Decrease due to settlement with Taxing Authority | (58) |  |  | — |  |  | — |
Ending unrecognized tax benefit | $ | 380 |  |  | $ | 359 |  |  | $ | 359 |
The Company classifies interest relating to tax matters and tax penalties as a component of income tax expense in its Consolidated Statements of Operations. As of December 31, 2024, there were $380 of unrecognized tax benefits that, if recognized, $309 would affect the effective tax rate. Related to the unrecognized tax benefits, the Company accrued interest and penalties of $73 and $4, respectively, during the year ended December 31, 2024. In addition, during the year ended December 31, 2024, the Company reached an audit settlement with the Tax Authorities and $58 of unrecognized tax benefits were recognized by the Company, of which $47 affected the effective tax rate. The Company also recognized a tax benefit for the accrued interest and penalties of $24 and $9, respectively, during the year ended December 31, 2024, associated with the audit settlement. As of December 31, 2023, there were $359 of unrecognized tax benefits that, if recognized, $292 would affect the effective tax rate. Related to the unrecognized tax benefits, the Company accrued interest and penalties of $68 and $1, respectively, during the year ended December 31, 2023. As of December 31, 2022, there were $359 of unrecognized tax benefits that, if recognized, $292 would affect the effective tax rate.
