KLB Business Valuations & Forensic Accountants has agreed to merge with EisnerAmper, a New York City‑based consulting firm backed by private‑equity firm TowerBrook. The deal, announced by PE Hub, signals a strategic expansion for both players in the professional services arena. The partnership aims to combine valuation expertise with advisory breadth across regional markets globally.

Founded in 1980, KLB traces its roots to Melville, New York, where it built a reputation for forensic accounting and business valuations. EisnerAmper, meanwhile, has grown through client‑centric advisory services and a portfolio of niche specializations. Together, the firms will pool talent, technology, and client bases to drive growth in the next few years by synergy.

No financial terms were disclosed, and the transaction is slated to close in May 2026. The timing aligns with TowerBrook’s strategy to deepen its footprint in the consulting sector. Investors will watch how the merged entity leverages complementary service lines to capture new market share across industries by expanding offerings in 2025 today for clients and shareholders.

The merger positions the combined firm to compete with larger multinational advisory houses while maintaining a boutique edge. Clients can expect streamlined valuation and forensic services powered by a broader network. The deal underscores private‑equity backing as a catalyst for consolidation in the professional services market today in 2026 and beyond.
