Essentia Partners was established in 2012 by a team of seasoned professionals with deep roots in Big 4 firms, federal regulatory agencies, and Fortune 500 internal audit departments.

Every engagement is led by a senior partner, ensuring the depth of expertise and personal accountability that defines our practice. Our clients range from publicly traded corporations and private equity portfolio companies to government agencies and nonprofit organizations.
