Santa Clara, CA-based Sherwood Partners, which specializes in assignments for the benefit of creditors (ABCs), restructuring, and fiduciary services, will be combining with top 15 accounting firm EisnerAmper in a deal expected to close in July.
Financial terms of the transaction weren’t disclosed. Sherwood’s two partners and 30 professionals are expected to join EisnerAmper at the completion of the deal.
This is the New York City-based accounting and advisory firm’s fourth M&A transaction of 2026. EisnerAmper added MLCworks, a digital marketing and growth advisory firm based in Metairie, LA, in a deal that closed in early January. In March, it added Price, Reuben, and Associates, an advisory firm based in Calabasas, CA, that is known for its tax and outsourced accounting services for independent restaurants. Most recently, EisnerAmper combined with Melville, NY-based KLG Business Valuators & Forensic Accountants.
In addition, EisnerAmper said in March that it completed a continuation vehicle transaction with TowerBrook Capital Partners, the private equity firm that has provided outside capital to the top 15 accounting firm since 2021.
