“If we consistently exceed the expectations of our employees, they will consistently exceed the expectations of our clients.” – Shep Hyken
The traditional M&A investment banking model is broken. Employee burnout, unhealthy lifestyles, misalignment of interests with clients, margin compression, broken deals, inefficiencies, extreme customer acquisition costs… it’s the norm, and it’s by design. It works for a few, but for the rest – it’s terrible.
At Anchor Peabody, we believe there is a better way.
Anchor Peabody is an employee-first, industry-focused M&A specialist. A lot of firms talk about prioritizing their employees, but we live it. Great bankers positioned for success is central to our strategy. Our bankers dominate the sub-verticals we focus on. We sell our knowledge and the willingness to do what is right for the benefit of both our clients and our people.
This approach has quickly made us the premier advisor in our areas of focus, advising on some of the largest and most notable deals in building products. We know more, pitch less, make markets, and give the best advice because we are part of the fabric of the industries we spend time in. This discipline creates enormous efficiencies and competitive advantages, which in turn puts our employees in a position to create extraordinary professional and personal outcomes.
Being here is different.
We believe the development and well-being of our employees is at the center of our mission. We also believe our employees’ personal and professional lives are intrinsically tied. We pursue extreme employee satisfaction through our four core employee values.
LIVE YOUR LIFE
Anchor Peabody is 100% virtual, enabling you to spend time doing more valuable things than commuting. We don’t need “protected weekends” because we strive to maintain a healthy balance of personal and professional time every day of the week, which includes maintaining our nights and weekends as the rule, not the exception. It is expected (and encouraged) that you to take time off to reflect and refresh.
BE HEALTHY
For us, this is a no-brainer: Our employees are at their best when there is a commitment to maintaining and improving their mental and physical health.

Our PTO policy is unlimited, and we provide generous maternity/paternity leave. We bring passion to everything we do, but always manage to keep the pressure light - even when the stakes are high.
BUILD WEALTH

Anchor Peabody offers industry-leading compensation with an extraordinary bonus/high variable component which is not ambiguous, or tied to other areas of the bank. Bonus criteria is transparent, and bonuses are uncapped. Our vision is to bring our long-term employees in as co-owners of the business, and we provide the coaching and mentorship to help you reach this milestone.
BE GREAT
Everything we do is geared to help our employees be the best versions of themselves, and have extraordinary lives, so that they can help our clients achieve extraordinary outcomes.
