Top 15 accounting firm EisnerAmper said Thursday it’s combining with Melville, NY-based KLG Business Valuators & Forensic Accountants in a deal expected to close in May.
Financial terms of the deal weren’t disclosed.
This is the New York City-based firm’s third 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. Last month, EisnerAmper 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.
In addition, EisnerAmper said last month that it has 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

EisnerAmper says the deal with KLG will strengthen its national forensic accounting, business valuation, litigation support, and expert witness testimony capabilities.
It will also provide KLG’s clients with access to EisnerAmper’s national infrastructure of expertise and technology, officials say. EisnerAmper’s clients will benefit from KLG’s deep relationships within the matrimonial and commercial litigation bar and decades of courtroom expertise.
“KLG has built an outstanding reputation for credible, rigorous, and trusted work in complex valuation and forensic matters,” Chris Loiacono, vice chair of services at EisnerAmper, said in a statement on April 9. “Their depth in matrimonial litigation, dispute consulting, and expert witness services strongly complements EisnerAmper’s advisory platform and adds value for clients.”
Founded in 1980, KLG’s credentialed professionals specialize in business valuations, forensic accounting, litigation support, economic damage calculations, and expert witness testimony for matrimonial matters, shareholder and commercial disputes, and estate and gift tax planning.
KLG’s professionals have also been trusted and appointed by courts as neutral financial experts in thousands of legal matters.
“We’re thrilled to join EisnerAmper,” Glenn Liebman, KLG co-managing partner, said in a statement. “This is a great strategic opportunity for both our clients and team.”
David Gresen, KLG co-managing partner, added, “This combination allows us to continue delivering the specialized valuation and forensic expertise KLG is known for, backed by EisnerAmper’s national capabilities.”
Allan D. Koltin, CEO of Koltin Consulting Group, who advised both firms on the deal, said in a statement, “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. 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.”
