SHERIDAN, WYOMING - April 14, 2026 - EisnerAmper, a global business advisory firm with more than 4,700 professionals and 475 partners, is combining with KLG Business Valuators & Forensic Accountants, LLC in a transaction expected to close in May 2026. The deal extends EisnerAmper's national capabilities in forensic accounting, business valuation, litigation support, and expert witness testimony-specialist areas that sit at the intersection of financial advisory and legal services. For corporate clients, private equity sponsors, and legal teams navigating complex disputes or regulatory matters, the combination adds depth to a practice that previously sat adjacent to EisnerAmper's broader financial advisory platform. The integration of KLG's professionals into a firm of this scale is designed to accelerate cross-service client access that a standalone boutique could not deliver independently.
Business Impact
The KLG combination directly reinforces EisnerAmper's competitive positioning in the forensic and valuation segment, where demand is driven by litigation activity, M&A due diligence, regulatory investigations, and insolvency proceedings. Forensic accounting and expert witness services are characteristically high-margin and relatively non-cyclical, providing a stabilising complement to audit, tax, and transactional revenues that can move with broader economic conditions. By integrating KLG's established practice, EisnerAmper acquires immediate national capability in specialist areas where building organically would require substantially longer lead times. The firm's existing 78.7% net promoter score lifetime average and cross-industry client base create a referral infrastructure that smaller practices find difficult to replicate on their own.
Expanded Service Footprint
EisnerAmper already operates across a broad service matrix encompassing assurance, federal and international tax, risk advisory, global compliance, outsourced accounting and finance, fund administration, and wealth management. Its existing financial advisory practice covers bankruptcy and restructuring, corporate finance, and transactions-work that frequently intersects with the forensic and valuation disciplines KLG brings. Adding KLG's professionals closes a structural gap in that practice, enabling clients engaged on litigation, regulatory inquiries, or contested valuations to access forensic expertise alongside advisory, tax, and outsourcing capabilities under one engagement relationship. This consolidation reduces coordination friction for clients and strengthens the firm's ability to manage multi-discipline mandates end to end.
Sector and Market Context
The United States professional services advisory market has experienced sustained consolidation, with upper-mid-market firms pursuing specialist bolt-on combinations to compete more directly against the Big Four on breadth and depth of service. Forensic accounting and valuation practices are particularly attractive targets because their revenue correlates with litigation cycles, regulatory scrutiny, and insolvency volumes rather than GDP growth alone-providing a degree of counter-cyclical balance to an advisory portfolio. EisnerAmper's client base spans banking, private equity, real estate, life sciences, healthcare, manufacturing, and technology, all sectors where valuation disputes, fraud investigations, and regulatory enforcement actions generate recurring forensic demand. The firm also operates a government advisory practice covering federal contracting and grants management, where investigative and compliance capabilities carry direct operational value and increase the strategic utility of the KLG combination.
