EisnerAmper, a global accounting and advisory powerhouse headquartered in Iselin, announced Tuesday that it will combine with Sherwood Partners, Inc., a Santa Clara-based firm widely recognized as a leader in Assignments for the Benefit of Creditors (ABCs) and corporate restructuring. The transaction is expected to close in July 2026.
Sherwood Partners, founded in 1992, maintains a strong presence in the technology, life sciences, and fintech sectors, with offices in Silicon Valley, Los Angeles, and New York City. The firm’s 30 professionals bring deep expertise in distressed asset management, receiverships, managed liquidations, and intellectual property monetization.
This combination is set to bolster EisnerAmper’s existing financial advisory portfolio, allowing the firm to provide a broader, more comprehensive suite of services to clients navigating complex financial distress.
“ABCs, receiverships, liquidations, IP monetization, and distressed asset management require experienced, steady hands—such as those at Sherwood Partners,” Allen Wilen, EisnerAmper partner and national director of the Financial Advisory Services Group said. “This combination significantly enhances our advisory capabilities, and we’re excited to welcome the Sherwood team to the EisnerAmper family.”
Sherwood Partners has built a reputation for supporting venture capital-backed companies and working closely with private equity firms and financial institutions. By joining EisnerAmper, the firm aims to leverage a larger platform to continue its mission of guiding organizations through high-stakes financial challenges.
“For 30-plus years, Sherwood Partners has turned complexity into clarity and been the trusted choice for organizations and investors navigating their most difficult challenges,” Martin Pichinson, managing partner of Sherwood Partners said. “That same commitment to excellence is what makes EisnerAmper the ideal partner, and the expanded menu of services we can now offer clients makes this combination even more compelling.”
The integration of the two firms reflects a growing trend of consolidation among advisory groups looking to provide end-to-end solutions for companies across the lifecycle of their growth—including during periods of significant fiscal restructuring.
