Financial Planning for Anduril Employees

Professional Guidance for Today's Financial Complexity and Tomorrow's Opportunity

We are here to help you:

Plan Around What You Have Today

Build Wealth for the Long Term

Be Ready for Any Liquidity Event

The Opportunity Is Real. So Is the Complexity.

From Costa Mesa, California, to locations across the country, Anduril compensates its people competitively. But equity-heavy pay at a pre-IPO defense tech company comes with financial complexity that the handbook doesn't cover. You might have questions like:

  • My equity isn't yet liquid. How do I plan around something I can see but can't yet access?

  • There's no 401(k) match. Am I building real retirement savings or just assuming the equity will take care of it?

  • When the IPO comes, how large is the tax hit, and are there decisions I can make now to reduce it?

  • The company covers my HDHP premium. Am I making the most of my HSA?

These are the questions we work through with Anduril employees in Southern California and nationwide, helping to turn complexity into a clear, actionable plan.

Plan Now to Make the Most of Opportunity

We partner with you to help:

Get Clear on What You Have

Understand your equity structure and benefits before an IPO forces decisions.

Map the Tax Exposure

Map your tax exposure across your career, not just one event.

Position for What's Next

Connect today's decisions to what's ahead: a home purchase, your kids' education, or retirement.

Advisors Who Work as Hard on Your Finances as You Do on the Mission

Anduril employees range from engineers and operators to military veterans, each with a different financial picture, but a shared challenge: equity-heavy compensation at a pre-IPO company.

As a Fullerton-based fee-only, fiduciary firm, we don't sell products, and we don't earn commissions. That matters when you're sitting on meaningful equity and everyone around you suddenly has opinions about what you should do with it. Our job is straightforward: to give you unbiased guidance focused entirely on your best interests. For Anduril employees, that can mean:

  • Working through how your restricted stock units (RSUs) are structured and what the tax picture looks like when they vest and settle

  • Determining the right 401(k) strategy (pretax or Roth) when there's no employer match to lean on

  • Evaluating whether the employee stock purchase plan (ESPP) makes sense alongside equity you're already concentrated in

  • Building a plan that doesn't depend on a specific outcome so that you're in a solid position regardless of when the IPO comes or what it delivers
