The directors and colleagues of Louisiana-based accounting, assurance, tax, consulting and technology firm Postlethwaite & Netterville (P&N) will be joining EisnerAmper in a transaction anticipated to close by this summer.

Founded in 1949, P&N has more than 575 team members across the United States and nine offices in Louisiana, Texas and Mississippi.

This combination will expand EisnerAmper’s reach into the Gulf Coast region and provide a platform for P&N’s continued growth on a larger geographic scale. P&N clients will benefit from services and the support of a global business advisory firm.

“We’re extremely proud to be joining EisnerAmper and to build upon the existing success of both firms. This is an unprecedented opportunity to provide our clients with even more innovative and competitive services and for P&N team members to benefit from additional resources and new opportunities for professional growth,” Dan Gardiner, managing director and CEO at P&N, said. “By joining with EisnerAmper, P&N will continue to serve our clients across the Gulf South and U.S. with the added support, resources and partnership of a Top 20 firm with a global presence.”

“P&N’s long-standing reputation for excellence in the Gulf Coast and beyond precedes itself. With this one strategic move, we’re adding more than 575 top-talent professionals and further extending deep industry experience in all aspects of our assurance, tax, advisory and outsourcing practice areas—no small accomplishment,” Christopher Loiacono, vice chair of services at EisnerAmper, said. “We greatly look forward to our historic combination with P&N and the vast opportunities it will afford our clients and staff for years to come.”
