Latest News →New York, 11 March 2015 – An ordinary Sunday evening in NYC!
Andrew Duignan
During week 8, I began working on two private equity entities. As all my experience to date was with a large hedge fund, learning about this new area of fund auditing has been very interesting. From reviewing LPA agreements to valuing Level 3 investments – it certainly has been a busy week!
We decided to head out to Brooklyn Heights to check out the views and we were definitely not disappointed. We also managed to drop by Wall Street for a photo with the iconic charging bull! Myself and Louise also stumbled upon Richard Gere filming a new movie outside Grand Central on Sunday night. Standard Sunday evening!

Roisin Cahill
It’s really hard to believe that we’re now halfway through our final month here! The broker-dealer deadline has passed, and all of our clients got their accounts filed on time, thankfully! The team and I took some time to enjoy a fantastic lunch in the sun at the Ferry Building after the deadline but since then it’s been straight back into the audits of EisnerAmper’s other financial services clients. This week I’ve been working on the audit of an insurance broker based in Foster City, about 30 minutes south of San Fran.
Karl and I both celebrated our birthdays this past weekend so, to mark the occasion, we paid a visit to an Irish bar which also conveniently houses an acclaimed Indian restaurant, the perfect location for us and our colleagues from the Mumbai office to celebrate. We met up with some friends afterwards to check out San Fran’s lively North Beach neighbourhood.

Josie Egan
The clients’ tight internal deadlines for the numbers to be finalised led to a busy week of auditing for the team and myself. However, we’re now through to reviewing the Financial Statements and we can see all our hard work paying off.
On Saturday morning the winter sun was shining so we decided the only way to blow away Friday night’s happy hour cobwebs was to take a trip to Central Park. We had a delicious brunch at the boathouse then hit Trumps skating rink. So much fun!

San Francisco, 4 March 2015 – A very early start
Karl Purcell
My first few audits of busy season 2015 have been finalised this week and I’m into the final stretch on the second batch as I look to wrap up as many as possible prior to heading back to Dublin.
A painfully early 6.30am start to watch the Ireland vs. England match on Sunday morning in our new local. Unsurprisingly the placed was filled to the rafters with a good mix of Irish and English fans so the atmosphere was lively to say the least!

Michael O’Malley
My first job was completed and the audit report signed early in the week allowing my full attention to be focused on my other private equity client.
Myself and three other international secondees won the raffle and got to see the NY Rangers in actions in their East Metropolitan NHL Game. We lucked out with a 4-4 thriller which ended in a penalty shoot out! More Irish visitors arrived for the weekend so the early start wasn’t going to stop us enjoying Ireland’s 6 Nations victory. We also had time for ice skating in Central Park and to check out Chelsea Pier sports complex, where we got to hit some drives out over a frozen Hudson river.
