Top 25 Firm EisnerAmper will acquire KLG Business Valuators & Forensic Accountants in a deal expected to close this May.

KLG, based in Melville, New York, specializes in business valuations, forensic accounting, litigation support, economic damage calculations and expert witness testimony for matrimonial matters, shareholder and commercial disputes, and estate and tax gift planning.

"KLG has built an outstanding reputation for credible, rigorous, and trusted work in complex valuation and forensic matters," Chris Loiacono, EisnerAmper's vice chair of services, said in a statement. "Their depth in matrimonial litigation, dispute consulting, and expert witness services strongly complements EisnerAmper's advisory platform and adds value for clients."

"We're thrilled to join EisnerAmper," Glenn Liebman, co-managing partner at KLG, said in a statement. "This is a great strategic opportunity for both our clients and team."

Added co-MP David Gresen, "This combination allows us to continue delivering the specialized valuation and forensic expertise KLG is known for, backed by EisnerAmper's national capabilities."

"KLG is recognized as a preeminent business valuation and forensic accounting firm throughout the greater New York area. They were courted by practically every major firm in the country but chose EisnerAmper as the best strategic and cultural fit," Allan Koltin, CEO of Koltin Consulting Group, who advised both firms on the deal, said in a statement. "David and Glenn see the tremendous growth opportunities for their people going forward. And EisnerAmper continues to identify 'uber' successful entrepreneurs and provide a tremendous platform for success."

EisnerAmper, based in New York, ranked No. 13 on Accounting Today's 2026 Top 100 Firms list. It reported over $1.2 billion in revenue with 475 partners and 4,700 employees across 43 offices. 

It was among the first accounting firms — if not the first — to take private equity money back in 2021. Last month, the firm completed a continuation vehicle transaction with its investor, TowerBrook Capital Partners, wherein instead of selling its stake to another investor, TowerBrook is holding onto it. 

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.
