Already firmly established in the United States, where it ranks among the leading players in audit and advisory services, EisnerAmper is continuing its international expansion by strengthening its presence in Europe via Luxembourg.
The US group, which is particularly well-regarded in the private equity, asset management, and financial services sectors, has recently formalised its acquisition of stakes in several local firms, following a partnership with the audit firm ACSE and the fiduciary firm Qadamala.
Supporting international players in the financial sector
“Both firms have gradually strengthened their ties with EisnerAmper in recent years,” explains Amine Dridi, Partner Financial Services at EisnerAmper Luxembourg, who has played a key role in this merger since 2025. “Through ACSE, we were already working together on certain international projects requiring a Luxembourg-based presence. This collaboration gradually took the form of a joint venture, culminating in a formal capital integration last spring.”
“Through this initiative, EisnerAmper aims to make Luxembourg a strategic hub for its European expansion. Almost all the major international groups we work with have a presence in Europe. Luxembourg, and more specifically its financial centre, plays a central role as a gateway to the European market,” said Peter Cogan, Managing Partner, Financial Services at EisnerAmper and Chair of EisnerAmper Global.
According to Dridi, this move also responds to changing international trends in financial services. “Our new organisation aims to support the growing convergence between European and American markets, particularly in private equity and investment funds,” continues the executive.
We operate as a single international team.
An international platform on a human scale
With more than 4,700 professionals in the United States and through EisnerAmper and EisnerAmper Global, we have a presence in several strategic countries such as United Kingdom, United Arab Emirates, Ireland, Singapore, Cayman Islands, India and Israel. We are a leading firm in the alternative investment space and among the top 10 firms in the sector in the US. Our goal is to rank in the top 10 in every jurisdiction focusing on the alternative market within the next five years by growing our significant international footprint. Luxembourg, however, marks its first structured presence within the European Union, with the acquisition of three entities in Luxembourg. “We operate as a single international team,” notes Dridi. “Our clients benefit from local support, whilst having access to highly specialised expertise across the entire network.”
In Luxembourg, the various entities will gradually evolve under a single banner. EisnerAmper Luxembourg will focus on audit services, whilst the independent fiduciary and advisory business will be renamed EA Luxembourg Advisory. This structure aims to provide an integrated service covering audit, consultancy, tax, accounting, compliance, AML, and support for the establishment of international companies in Luxembourg. EisnerAmper has a strong presence in the insurance sector in the US and is ranked #6 by AM Best, which represents an important differentiator in the financial services and insurance markets.
An alternative to the major networks
In a particularly competitive Luxembourg market, the new structure strives to stand out through a more agile and client-focused approach. “What sets us apart is our proximity, availability, expertise and direct access to the partners,” explains Dridi. A view shared by Erik Snauwaert, a long-standing partner at the Luxembourg firm. “Clients today are looking for firms capable of delivering a high standard of quality, whilst remaining pragmatic and accessible,” he explains. “In an increasingly complex regulatory environment, this proximity becomes essential.”
The sector is moving toward larger and more international structures.
A clear ambition for growth
Now boasting around 30 staff in Luxembourg, the firm has significant ambitions for the coming months. “We intend to at least double in size in the near future,” says Dridi. This expansion will be achieved through a combination of organic growth, strengthening the teams, and exploring opportunities for external growth.
This momentum is part of a broader evolution in the audit and advisory market. “The sector is moving toward larger and more international structures,” observes Snauwaert. “Luxembourg, as an international financial hub, will remain a strategic location to support this transformation.” Already active within the sector’s main professional associations, notably ALFI, LPEA, and ACA, the new entity now intends to further strengthen its visibility and its presence in the Luxembourg financial centre.
