Empowering financial growth
Anthropic Employees
Anthropic’s rapid growth has put many employees in a position they may not have planned for – holding significant equity in a private company with a potential path to liquidity. A tender offer is one of the first opportunities to turn that equity into cash, but it also comes with decisions that can have a lasting financial impact.
- How much should I sell in the tender vs. hold?
- What’s the tax hit and can I reduce it?
- Where should the proceeds go?
- How does this fit my bigger financial picture?
These are all valid questions, and fortunately, we have helped employees in the same position through these exact moments.
Twin Peaks Wealth Advisors LLC is not affiliated with Anthropic or the Anthropic benefits department. Twin Peaks Wealth Advisors has personal financial planning relationships with multiple clients who are Nvidia employees.

Frequently Asked Questions
I'm participating in the tender offer, do I really need a financial advisor for this?
You don’t need one, but the decisions around a tender are more layered than they appear. How much to sell, when to exercise remaining options, how ISO vs. NSO treatment affects your tax bill, whether AMT exposure changes your calculations, these all interact with each other. Most employees we work with aren’t looking for someone to tell them what to do. They want a structured framework and a second opinion from someone who’s seen how these decisions play out across dozens of similar situations. That’s what we provide.
I already have a CPA, how does working with TPWA add value?
A CPA is essential for filing and tax preparation, but most CPAs are working after the decisions have been made. We work before and during, helping you model scenarios, weigh tradeoffs, and coordinate with your CPA so the strategy is tax-optimized from the start. With our Tender Complete package, we’ll attend meetings with your CPA directly so everyone is aligned on the approach before you commit to exercising or selling.
What if I'm not sure whether I want to sell in the tender at all?
That’s actually the most common starting point for the employees we work with. The decision to sell, hold, or do a mix depends on your concentration risk, cash flow needs, tax situation, and how you think about Anthropic’s trajectory relative to your personal goals. We help you build a framework to evaluate that, not push you toward a transaction. If holding makes sense, we’ll tell you that too.
How do I know whether the Tender Essentials ($12K) or Tender Complete ($18K) package is right for me?
It comes down to how much complexity surrounds your situation beyond the tender itself. If you have a relatively straightforward equity position — say, one grant type, a clear sense of your goals, and an existing CPA you’re comfortable with, Essentials gives you the decision framework, tax guidance, and investment direction you need to move forward confidently.
Complete is built for employees where the tender is just one piece of a bigger puzzle. If you’re holding both ISOs and NSOs with different strike prices, have a spouse with their own equity comp, are thinking about a home purchase or other major financial move alongside the tender, or want us in the room with your CPA modeling scenarios together, that’s where Complete earns its value. The CPA coordination alone often saves clients multiples of the fee difference in avoided tax surprises.
Not sure which fits? Book a consultation and we’ll tell you honestly. Sometimes Essentials is all you need, and we’d rather you put the $6K difference to work in your portfolio.
