Xeinadin has announced the acquisition of three Haines Watts offices in the towns of Grimsby, Scunthorpe and Hessle as a way to enhance its existing presence in the region.
It follows the addition of Clay Shaw Thomas in July and Jones Harris Limited in August, bringing the total to 27 in the past two years.
The acquisition will bring 23 colleagues from Haines Watts into Xeinadin’s professional services business under the continued leadership of its existing management team.
In addition, the business will be known as the Xeinadin Humber offices.
According to a recent Xeinadin survey of 1,000 UK-based SMEs, some 84% of small business owners in Yorkshire and Humber consult with their accountant at least once a month, with the average being over three times per month.
As a result, the firm is focusing on this region as it is “a thriving hub for small business growth”, where business owners increasingly rely on their local accountancy firms to guide them through their business and financial challenges.
Derry Crowley, CEO of Xeinadin, said: “I am delighted to welcome the team and clients of three former Haines Watts offices to Xeinadin in what is a key milestone in our growth strategy.
“The team, led by partner Jennifer Toulson, are consummate professionals with a track-record of delivering exceptional services for local businesses. They fit in with the ethos of our company and I look forward to seeing them thrive as part of Xeinadin.”
Jennifer Toulson, partner at Xeinadin Humber, added: “This move marks a new and exciting time in our journey as we join Derry and our new colleagues at Xeinadin.
“We’ll continue to deliver personalised services to our clients in Grimsby, Scunthorpe, Hessle and across Yorkshire, tapping into the resources and expertise of the business advisory firm built for small business.”
