KNAV, a global accounting and advisory firm delivering integrated services across assurance, tax, and advisory, has announced a follow-on investment from NKSquared, the U.S.-based investment firm of entrepreneur and investor Nikhil Kamath. Financial terms were not disclosed. The capital will be deployed primarily toward international acquisitions to expand into new markets, including Australia, alongside continued organic growth, investment in talent, leadership development, and training across the firm’s global teams. A portion will also support KNAV’s ongoing automation and AI deployment across its service lines.
The follow-on builds on NKSquared’s initial investment in KNAV in September 2024, since which the firm has grown global revenues from $26 million in 2023 to $50 million in 2025 and expanded its international presence to include the Netherlands, the United Kingdom, and, most recently, the UAE. Headquartered in Atlanta, KNAV now operates across seven countries and serves more than 1,500 enterprises, primarily multinational clients requiring cross-border execution and local market expertise. The firm said its global delivery model combines local expertise with seamless international coordination.
KNAV is currently in Phase 1 of its AI deployment, focused on embedding AI into core workflows to improve quality, efficiency, and decision-making, with further expansion planned over time. The firm’s growth strategy continues to pursue a dual approach of international acquisitions and organic expansion, deepening client relationships, entering new geographies, and strengthening capabilities across its three core practice areas. The addition of new jurisdictions such as Australia reflects ambitions to establish a presence across major global professional services markets.
