EisnerAmper adds Silicon Valley firm

EisnerAmper acquired Silicon Valley-based Sherwood Partners in a transaction expected to close this July.

The deal adds advisory capabilities as well as 30 employees to the Top 20 Firm.

Sherwood Partners has three offices across Los Angeles, New York City and Santa Clara, California. It provides assignments for the benefit of creditors, corporate restructuring, receiverships, managed liquidations, intellectual property monetization, distressed asset management and financial advisory services to a variety of sectors across technology, finance and more. 

"ABCs, receiverships, liquidations, IP monetization and distressed asset management require experienced, steady hands — such as those at Sherwood Partners," Allen Wilen, EisnerAmper partner and national director of the financial advisory services group, said in a statement Tuesday. "This combination significantly enhances our advisory capabilities, and we're excited to welcome the Sherwood team to the EisnerAmper family."

EisnerAmper, based in New York City, ranked No. 13 on Accounting Today's 2026 Top 100 Firms list. It reported $1.2 billion in revenue, with 478 partners and over 4,700 employees across 54 offices.

In March, the firm announced that it completed a continuation vehicle with its private equity investor, TowerBrook Capital Partners. EisnerAmper was among the first accounting firms — if not the first — to take PE money in 2021. 

"For 30-plus years, Sherwood Partners has turned complexity into clarity and been the trusted choice for organizations and investors navigating their most difficult challenges," Martin Pichinson, managing partner of Sherwood Partners, said in a statement. "Experience matters, and clients know exactly what they're getting from us. That same commitment to excellence is what makes EisnerAmper the ideal partner, and the expanded menu of services we can now offer clients makes this combination even more compelling."

Since 2021, EisnerAmper has completed over 27 acquisitions. In April, the firm added KLG Business Valuators & Forensic Accountants. In mid-March, EisnerAmper acquired California-based Price Reuben; in January, it added digital marketing and growth advisory firm MLCworks in Metairie, Louisiana. Last year, it added Prague & Co., a firm based in the Boston area, and Bolotin Financial Group, a global business advisory firm, joined EisnerAmper's Prosperity wealth management business. In 2024, it added Tighe, Kress & Orr in Elgin, Illinois, Krost CPAs in the Los Angeles area, Edelstein & Co. in Boston, and the Tidwell Group in Birmingham, Alabama. In 2023, it merged in Spielman Koenigsberg & Parker in New York, Morrison & Morrison in Chicago, and Top 100 Firm Postlethwaite & Netterville in Baton Rouge, Louisiana. In 2022, it added Lindsay & Brownell in La Jolla, California, Hoffman Group in Baltimore, Lurie in Minnesota and Florida, and Top 100 Firm Raich Ende Malter  and Popper & Co. in New York.
