KNAV gets follow-up investment

Regional Leader KNAV Advisory received another investment from NKSquared, the U.S. investment vehicle of Indian billionaire Nikhil Kamath. 

The firm says it will use the additional capital to make international acquisitions and expand into new markets, such as Australia. It will also invest in talent and technologies like automation and artificial intelligence. KNAV received its first investment from NKSquared back in September 2024, which, at the time, was meant to be the start of a larger commitment from the investment firm.

Terms of the deal were not disclosed.

"NKSquared's continued support reinforces our long-term vision of building a truly global accounting and advisory firm," KNAV CEO Nishta Sharma said in a statement. "This investment allows us to pursue international acquisitions to enter new markets, while continuing to invest in our people and in building capabilities across the firm."

KNAV, based in Atlanta, is a Southeast Regional Leader on Accounting Today's 2026 Top 100 Firms and Regional Leaders list, reporting $26 million in revenue, 13 partners, over 210 employees and three offices. The firm operates internationally in seven countries under an alternative practice structure.

"Our follow-on investment reflects our conviction in KNAV's leadership, its consistent execution, and its ability to grow with both agility and discipline. That's a rare combination, and it gives us real confidence in their vision to build a truly global professional services firm, proudly originated from India roots," Kamath, founder and investor of NKSquared, said in a statement.
