EisnerAmper acquires Tidwell Group

EisnerAmper, a national accounting and consulting firm, has acquired Tidwell Group, a Birmingham, AL-based accounting and consulting firm specializing in the real estate industry.

Founded in 1997, Tidwell has 40 partners and more than 200 staff across offices in Birmingham, Atlanta, Austin, and Columbus. The firm focuses on accounting, tax, and consulting for real estate and construction – with depth of expertise in low-income housing tax credits, bonds, conventional financing, renewable energy, HUD compliance and reporting, and USDA-Rural Development compliance and reporting.

Tidwell is the 116th-largest accountancy in the US, with $41.5 million in annual revenue, according to Inside Public Accounting.

“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," said Christopher Loiacono, vice chair of services at EisnerAmper. "We're excited about the future, and we heartily welcome our new colleagues from Tidwell Group."

TowerBrook Capital Partners invested in EisnerAmper in 2021. Since then, the New York-based accountancy’s bolt-on acquisitions include Hoffman Group, a 17-person Baltimore accountancy; Lurie, a Minneapolis-based accountancy with 200+ people; and Raich Ende Malter & Company, a New York-based accountancy with 200+ people.

"Together, we look forward to achieving greater heights for our clients, staff, industries, and the communities in which we practice,” said J. Barry Tidwell, national managing partner of Tidwell Group. “EisnerAmper remains deeply committed to supporting and advancing the affordable housing and renewable energy sectors through innovative solutions and dedicated service."
