EisnerAmper: National name, same local Louisiana flavor

At the end of every tax season, the CPAs and advisors at EisnerAmper take a break from crunching numbers to peel some crawfish. Hundreds of team members, some flying in from out of state to experience their first boil, gather to share over 1,000 pounds of mudbugs, corn and potatoes.

The annual crawfish boil started over three decades ago, when many of EisnerAmper’s Gulf Coast offices were still operating under the name Postlethwaite & Netterville, a long-standing Louisiana-based accounting, assurance, tax, consulting and technology firm, better known as P&N.

In 2023, EisnerAmper and P&N combined in a strategic merger. While P&N’s name changed, the firm’s commitment to high-quality client service remained the same and its resources grew.

“We’ve broadened our expertise and capacity as a firm,” says Dan Gardiner, former CEO of P&N and now Managing Partner of EisnerAmper’s Outsourced Services. “We still have a super strong footprint in Louisiana and Baton Rouge, and exercise a lot of leadership for a national firm out of Louisiana.”

As one of the largest accounting, tax and business advisory firms in the world, EisnerAmper has global reach with over 475 partners and 4,700 employees. The EisnerAmper team is filled with talented professionals with credibility and expertise in sector-specific niches. With the click of a button, EisnerAmper’s advisors can connect clients to the leading financial authority on almost any subject.

“Our job at the local level is to make sure we’re putting the firm’s best foot forward in terms of resources to provide to our clients,” Gardiner says.

With a lifetime Net Promoter Score (NPS) of 78.1 for client satisfaction, EisnerAmper scores well above the national average for accounting firms. The firm remains keenly focused on mid-market organizations across a wide variety of industries, including real estate, healthcare, financial services, government, construction and more.

“We have a particular stronghold and expertise in private equity and financial services, and that impacts virtually every industry in existence,” Gardiner says.

When it comes to private equity, EisnerAmper offers a unique point of view. In 2021, the firm became a trailblazer in the accounting industry by taking on a private equity investment from TowerBrook Capital Partners. EisnerAmper was the first firm of its size to accept private equity, with several other large firms following suit soon after. The capital infusion provided by TowerBrook solidified EisnerAmper’s place as a visionary and creative market leader.

EisnerAmper consistently ranks among Inside Public Accounting’s Top 20 firms and is one of the fastest growing firms in America. The firm plans to continue adding valuable services, adopting new technology and investing in its team to create strong local communities and satisfied client bases throughout its footprint.
