On the Horizon: Postlethwaite & Netterville has become part of EisnerAmper, a top 20 U.S. CPA firm. The merger will allow us to expand the resources and services we can provide to our Louisiana- and Gulf Coast-based clients while some of the leading practices of P&N (government and energy industries; and our court-settlement and program-management consulting services) will have the larger EisnerAmper footprint to help with growth. More importantly, our nearly 600 P&N employees will have the chance to significantly expand their skills and experience, and the merger provides greater career opportunities for everyone from the home city where they currently reside whether in Louisiana, Mississippi, Texas or Washington, D.C.
