This would shoot the combined firm – working name: Eisner Amper – to 14th on the list (based on revenues) ahead of Clifton Gunderson and hot on the heels of Baker Tilly Virchow Krause.
From the looks of it, the merger would benefit Eisner’s presence in the Garden State while APM would have much better access to the NYC market.
Eisner’s CEO Charles Weinstein wasn’t reached for comment and Amper CEO Howard Cohen told NJBiz, “We have no binding legal documents with any firm at this time,” which, as far as we’re concerned, basically means that it’s a done deal and the lawyers are still sorting out the signing pages.
Of course there’s always the slim chance for a board room blowup and the whole thing gets called off but we’re all hoping for the best.
