EisnerAmper adds digital marketing arm with MLCworks acquisition
NEW YORK and LOUISIANA, UNITED STATES — Global business advisory firm EisnerAmper has strengthened its client service portfolio through a combination with digital marketing agency MLCworks, a move finalized in early January 2026.
The acquisition integrates comprehensive digital growth services into EisnerAmper’s established advisory framework, aiming to provide a more holistic suite of solutions to a shared client base across multiple industries.
This move follows their previous acquisition of cross-border accounting specialist Fernway Solutions, significantly bolstering EisnerAmper’s platform by embedding a ready-made, entrepreneurial team to guide its United States-based clients through complex international expansion.
Bridging financial advisory and digital strategy
EisnerAmper operates as a responsive and principled advisory firm, providing audit, tax, and consulting services to financial institutions, public companies, and high-net-worth individuals, both domestically and internationally.
The firm’s relationship-oriented approach is built on delivering accountable, practical solutions that uphold the highest professional standards.
On the other hand, MLCworks distinguishes itself as a full-service advertising agency. Eschewing traditional labels, the agency pushes creative boundaries by prioritizing customer connections, cultivating a dedicated portfolio of clients it regards as family in its pursuit of measurable results.
EisnerAmper’s digital marketing and growth expansion
By incorporating MLCworks’ specialized services—which include strategic planning, brand development, digital advertising, custom website design, search engine optimization (SEO), and online reputation management—EisnerAmper can now address the modern imperative for a robust digital footprint directly.
This will enable the advisory firm to provide a model of integrated service offerings in which international tax planning and state-of-the-art web development are not separate but rather part of their client strategy.
Both companies have developed competence in these areas, making the acquisition particularly relevant and effective.
The energy that MLCworks will bring to EisnerAmper is deep experience in the healthcare, legal, retail, home improvement, and nonprofit sectors, which will complement and broaden its current client workforce.
As noted by Dan Gardiner, Managing Partner of Outsourced Solutions at EisnerAmper, this move “further solidifies our philosophy of providing a truly holistic approach to clients’ needs.”
Leveraging data-driven growth solutions
A core driver of this combination is the shared commitment of both organizations to a data-driven, strategically optimized approach to client service.
Lauren Lightfoot, Founder and Chief Executive Officer (CEO) of MLCworks, notes, “Similar to EisnerAmper, MLCworks is passionate about using data-driven insights, a strategic approach, and leading-edge optimization to ensure that every engagement not just meets but exceeds expectations.”
“There’s a great symbiosis between our two growing firms,” she added.
EisnerAmper’s established advisory framework gains a dedicated digital execution arm, while MLCworks’ offerings are amplified by the scale and credibility of an international advisory platform.
This fusion aims to ensure that every client engagement, from a media strategy campaign to overarching business planning, is informed by strategic insight and measurable results, leveraging the combined strengths of both firms to foster growth.
“We very much look forward to the exciting new opportunities this relationship will offer clients going forward,” Gardiner said.
