The US-based firm has also named Robert Mirsky as head of the newly-opened office.

US-based EisnerAmper, a provider of accounting, tax and consulting services, has opened an office in London, as the firm looks to launch an operation in the UK before Brexit is finalised.

Robert Mirsky is joining EisnerAmper as the head of the London office and head of the asset management group, the firm said in a statement.

EisnerAmper provides audit, accounting and tax services; valuation, due diligence, internal audit and risk management, litigation consulting and forensic accounting; as well as technology, compliance and regulatory, operational consulting and other professional services to a range of financial service clients.

Mirsky has more than 20 years of experience advising investment fund managers, financial services companies, banks and investors in the structuring and operational aspects of alternative investments. 

He has worked in Big Four firms throughout the world, including in the US, the UK, Italy, Thailand and the Cayman Islands and, most recently, he led a global hedge fund practice.

“As Brexit unfolds, Europe is facing an unprecedented period of economic and regulatory challenges and opportunities,” says Charles Weinstein, chief executive. “Adding Robert to our team will greatly enhance our ability to offer clients highly specialized, expert financial advisory services in this growing yet rapidly changing market.”

The firm has offices in the US, Ireland, Cayman Islands, Singapore, Israel, India and now the UK.
