Lighting The Way

A Legacy Is Born.
Established in 1978 and founded by TMA Hall of Famer Martin I. Katz, Executive Sounding Board Associates (ESBA) led the way as one of the earliest and most successful restructuring firms, long before the restructuring and turnaround industry emerged. In 2013, Robert Katz and Michael DuFrayne acquired ESBA and merged the company with EisnerAmper to expand its platform.
