Go back to the hiring executive that made you an offer.
Explain to them you're almost all-in and you recognize it's a great opportunity. Additionally, you believe that you can be accretive to their team. Your only issue, the minor gap in compensation. Let them know you would be inclined to move laterally. Ask if they have any flexibility to help with the difference (differed compensation, bonus program, stock options, perqs, etc...)
Be prepared to show the last 2 years of payment records. The transparency gives you leverage. This is an instance of no ask, no get.

If they want you to be their head honcho they should have substantial room to move on salary or options if they're convinced you're the best option and you have good reason to consider their existing offer low enough to be a deal breaker Doesn't mean they'll match your previous role, but they should make your decision a lot easier.
