The partners and colleagues of accounting, tax, and business consulting firm Hughes Pittman & Gupton (HPG) are joining EisnerAmper in a transaction expected to close in the spring of 2024. In a separate transaction, HPG’s wealth management practice, HPG Wealthcare Advisors, will transition to Prosperity, an EisnerAmper company, later in 2024.

Founded in 1983 and based in Raleigh, NC, Hughes Pittman & Gupton has more than a dozen partners and a staff of almost 100 people. The firm provides a host of services, including advisory, outsourcing, audit and accounting, tax, and risk and governance. The company serves clients around the world across a =range of industries, including technology, life sciences, clean tech, healthcare, manufacturing and distribution, real estate, and professional services.

“HPG has always been dedicated to meeting the current and future needs of both clients and the talented professionals that make up our firm,” Heather Dean, tax partner and executive committee member at HPG, said. “In getting to know EisnerAmper, it became apparent that our values align perfectly, and combining our two cultures will provide terrific new opportunities for both our team and the clients they serve.”

“This strategic combination with HPG in the rapidly growing Research Triangle area reinforces our strong geographic presence in key markets throughout the eastern United States,” Jay Weinstein, vice chair of industries and markets at EisnerAmper, said. “We welcome the opportunity to partner with a firm of HPG’s extremely high caliber to be the trusted, top-of-mind business advisor to clients in North Carolina and beyond. We’re very excited about our nascent relationship with HPG, and we welcome them to the EisnerAmper family.”
