Xeinadin has announced the acquisition of Irish accountancy firm KBG Accountants, marking the firm’s largest acquisition in Ireland to date.
The move reinforces Xeinadin’s continued investment in the Irish market, KBG is the second firm to join Xeinadin in 2025 with Dublin based Warren and Partners joining in March this year.
Founded over 30 years ago, KBG is a firm with six offices in Cavan, Longford and Leitrim. The firm provides a broad range of accounting, audit, tax, and advisory services to businesses and individuals across the Midlands and beyond.
With a team of over 80 professionals, KBG is one of the largest independent accountancy practices in the region.
The group has made significant acquisitions in recent years, with McIntyre and CO in Cavan joining in 2022 and most recently Healy Martin based in Leitrim joining KBG in 2024.
In June last year, Xeinadin announced that it would earmark €40m (£33.6m) for investment in Ireland over an 18-month period.
Derry Crowley, CEO of Xeinadin, said: “KBG is a highly respected firm nationally with a strong track record of client service, deep local roots, and a progressive mindset. We wanted to grow our presence in the midlands and KBG were a perfect fit – their experienced team and client-centric ethos closely aligns with our values at Xeinadin and we are delighted to have them as part of our team of experts.
“This partnership marks another step in our strategic growth in Ireland as we continue to build a network of high-quality firms that provide expert, local advice supported by national and international expertise.”
Paddy Keavney, Ciaran Brady and Mark Reilly, senior partners at KBG, added: “Joining Xeinadin is an exciting development for our firm, our team, and our clients. It allows us to keep what makes KBG special; our strong client relationships, our focus on quality and our trusted local presence, while also benefiting from the broader expertise and deeper capabilities Xeinadin provides across Ireland and the UK.
“The world of business advisory is changing rapidly and having access to the tools, technologies, and resources of the wider Xeinadin organisation will allow us to serve our clients more effectively.”
