EisnerAmper announced that the partners and colleagues of Elgin, IL-based, CPA firm Tighe, Kress & Orr, P.C. (“TKO”) are joining EisnerAmper in a combination expected to close in October 2024.

Founded in 2007, and with offices in Chicago and Elgin, Illinois, TKO has five principals and approximately 100 colleagues. The firm provides tax, accounting, advisory, and assurance services to startups through mid-market enterprises. Its diverse client base consists of individuals, companies, closely held businesses, and nonprofit organizations.

“In addition to our expertise, integrity, responsiveness, and personalized service, TKO helps make its clients informed decision makers—which adds tremendous value,” said Robert T. Tighe, TKO Managing Principal. “And we see these same qualities in EisnerAmper, which is why this move makes a lot of strategic sense.”

“TKO really gets it. They listen to clients, work with them on tailored solutions, and strive for ongoing client growth,” said Jay Weinstein, Eisner Advisory Group Vice Chair of Industries and Markets. “The professionals at TKO take a proactive, long-range approach, and those are the types of firms we want to team up with. We warmly welcome TKO to the EisnerAmper family.”

"EisnerAmper continues to combine with high-performing firms and TKO is no exception. TKO has also become a destination for entrepreneurial talent,” said Allan D. Koltin, CEO of Koltin Consulting Group, who advised on this deal. “And while EisnerAmper continues to transform the profession, it has also found a way to keep a family-feel culture.”
