EisnerAmper, the US accounting and advisory firm, has opened a second office in Mumbai for its India global capability centre, which now has about 1,000 staff. The firm said in May 2026 that it has committed more than $5 million to office space in the city over the next three to five years, on top of its existing investment. It also plans to grow the centre’s headcount by about 10 percent over three years.
EisnerAmper is one of the larger advisory and accounting firms in the United States, with global revenue of about $1.2 billion. The firm has set a goal of doubling that to $2.4 billion within four to five years, a target that leans on acquisitions as well as organic growth. Since taking on private equity investment in 2021, it has expanded quickly across tax, accounting and advisory services. Its focus areas include private markets, financial services, technology and life sciences.
What the centre will do
The India centre handles non audit work for the firm, spanning tax, accounting and advisory. It supports cross border clients, including Indian companies with overseas investors and foreign businesses setting up or investing in India. Regulatory work is routed through local partner firms in the EisnerAmper network. The firm also offers IPO readiness assessments and SOC compliance services from India and has said it wants to deepen that expertise. India already accounts for roughly a fifth of the global workforce, and the firm expects that share to reach about 30 percent within a few years.
Why Mumbai
Mumbai is where EisnerAmper’s India story began, and the city remains the country’s deepest pool of chartered accountants, tax specialists and finance professionals. Its role as the hub for India’s capital markets also suits a team that works on hedge funds, private markets and IPO readiness. A second office lets the firm add seats without moving away from that talent base.
EisnerAmper’s India footprint
The India operation started in Mumbai in 2006 with just six people working on hedge fund audits and taxes. It began as the India office of Harb Levy & Weiland, a San Francisco firm that merged with EisnerAmper in 2012. Hiren Modi, who founded the India operation and now serves as a managing partner, has steered its growth from that small team to around 1,000 people. The firm also has teams in Bengaluru and Hyderabad, and the work has widened from hedge funds into commercial clients, real estate and employee benefit plans.
What it signals
EisnerAmper reflects how US accounting firms now treat India as a core delivery base rather than an overflow option. Acquisitive firms in particular use their Indian centres to absorb work from newly bought practices. The investment in a second Mumbai office also shows the city holding its own as a home for finance focused GCCs.
