EisnerAmper, the leading global business advisory firm with a heavy presence in New Jersey, on Thursday announced that it will combine forces with Alabama-based tax, assurance and advisory, and real estate consulting firm Tidwell Group LLC, in a transaction expected to close in May.

Founded in 1997, Tidwell has 40 partners and a staff of more than 200 professionals.

Named a “Best of the Best Firm” by Inside Public Accounting and one of “America’s Best Tax and Accounting Firms” by Forbes for four consecutive years, Tidwell has six offices across Alabama, Georgia, Texas and Ohio. In addition to tax and A&A services, Tidwell has a strong presence in real estate, affordable housing, HUD and USDA rural development compliance, renewable energy projects and construction.

“Combining an entrepreneurial and community spirit together with a singular focus on delivering client service excellence fuels our trajectory. And we see this same spirit and dedication at EisnerAmper,” J. Barry Tidwell, national managing partner, said. “Together, we look forward to achieving greater heights for our clients, staff, industries and the communities in which we practice. EisnerAmper remains deeply committed to supporting and advancing the affordable housing and renewable energy sectors through innovative solutions and dedicated service.”

“Combined with Tidwell’s nationally recognized real estate group, EisnerAmper will have one of the preeminent real estate practices in the U.S. and beyond,” Christopher Loiacono, EisnerAmper vice chair of services, said. “We’re excited about the future, and we heartily welcome our new colleagues from Tidwell Group.”
