Xeinadin acquires About Tax and launches specialist tax advisory

Xeinadin Group has acquired About Tax to create a specialised direct tax advisory function across the UK, strengthening its existing client services. 

Along with the acquisition and the launch, the firm has appointed founder of About Tax, Adam Owens, as its new director of tax advisory. 

He joins with over 10 years of leadership experience across independent tax consultancies, having founded About Tax in 2018 as a tax planning and advisory firm focused on owner-managed businesses and SMEs. 

In his role, Owens will lead the firm’s tax advisory and create a central resource for its regional offices to provide new and existing clients with expert advice on direct taxes. 

The new division will draw upon existing specialists across the group and will also be looking to expand through external hires.

The move follows the creation of Xeinadin Corporate Recovery in April and Xeinadin Corporate Finance division last September.

Derry Crowley, CEO of Xeinadin Group, said: “Tax Advisory is the latest development in the Xeinadin offering. It is a highly specialised area and a high-value service and we are pleased to be able to provide our clients with this level of advice. 

“Adam and the team are specialists and will further expand what our Group can offer to clients, encouraging greater retention and attracting new clients.”

Owens added: “Xeinadin Group seemed like the perfect fit for our service offering. We have a shared focus on SME and owner-managed clients and are able to provide a specialist skill set which is of great value to the group’s client base. 

“We are looking forward to being part of the team and making the most of the huge opportunity ahead.”
