EisnerAmper, KLG merge to expand forensic accounting reach

NEW YORK, UNITED STATES — Global business advisory firm EisnerAmper is combining with KLG Business Valuators & Forensic Accountants, in a deal expected to close in May 2026, significantly expanding the firm’s national capabilities in forensic accounting, business valuation and expert witness testimony.
According to a company press release, the transaction brings together EisnerAmper‘s broad advisory infrastructure and KLG‘s decades of specialized litigation support work, creating one of the more formidable forensic and valuation practices serving the greater New York area and beyond.
Deal strengthens litigation support capabilities
Founded in 1980 and headquartered in Melville, New York, KLG has built a reputation over more than four decades for handling complex financial disputes.
Its professionals specialize in business valuations, economic damage calculations and expert witness testimony across matrimonial cases, shareholder and commercial disputes, and estate and gift tax planning.
KLG’s professionals have been appointed by courts as neutral financial experts in thousands of legal matters, giving the firm deep relationships within the matrimonial and commercial litigation bar.
Under the combination, those clients will gain access to EisnerAmper’s national network and technology platform, while EisnerAmper’s existing client base will benefit from KLG’s courtroom expertise.
“KLG has built an outstanding reputation for credible, rigorous, and trusted work in complex valuation and forensic matters,” said Christopher Loiacono, EisnerAmper’s vice chair of services.
“Their depth in matrimonial litigation, dispute consulting, and expert witness services strongly complements EisnerAmper’s advisory platform and adds tremendous value for clients,” Loiacono added.
Leadership views move as strategic fit
“This is a great strategic opportunity for both our clients and team,” said Glenn Liebman, KLG Co-Managing Partner.
“This combination allows us to continue delivering the specialized valuation and forensic expertise KLG is known for, backed by EisnerAmper’s national capabilities,” said David Gresen, KLG Co-Managing Partner.
KLG is widely regarded as a leading firm in business valuation and forensic accounting across the greater New York region.
“They were courted by practically every major firm in the country but chose EisnerAmper as the best strategic and cultural fit,” said Allan Koltin, CEO of Koltin Consulting Group, which advised both firms.
He noted that EisnerAmper “continues to identify ‘uber’ successful entrepreneurs and provide a tremendous platform for success.”
The deal reflects a broader pattern reshaping professional services, where mid-sized specialty firms are joining larger platforms to access scale, technology and cross-border delivery networks.
For the outsourcing industry, such consolidation typically expands the pipeline of back-office, advisory support and technology-enabled services that global firms increasingly route to offshore and nearshore partners, reinforcing demand for specialized finance and legal support talent across the BPO sector.
