Xeinadin has announced its acquisition of AGS Accountants and Business Advisors, which expands the firm’s presence in the West Midlands as part of its ongoing M&A strategy.
The professional services firm, which is among the UK’s top 20 by size, said the move would strengthen its footprint in the region and enhance its services to small and medium-sized businesses.
AGS, based in Dudley, was founded in 1989 and provides accounting, audit, payroll, tax advice and business planning to clients across England and Wales. The firm also advises on transactions, providing buy-side and sell-side due diligence.
According to Xeinadin, the acquisition would allow AGS to offer additional expertise in areas such as R&D tax relief and succession planning, as well as greater support for healthcare businesses. AGS’s clients will also gain access to Xeinadin’s national resources, digital services and partner-led support.
Derry Crowley, chief executive at Xeinadin, said: “AGS is exactly the kind of firm we want in the group – trusted, practical and rooted in the local community. Their work with businesses across the Midlands and beyond is a good example of the kind of support that SMEs need right now, and we’re looking forward to backing that with additional expertise and investment.”
Kevin Corey, director at AGS, added: “At the heart of our success lies one simple principle, building trusted relationships by focusing on what truly matters to our clients and their businesses. From strategic year-end tax planning to compliance and advising on acquisitions or sales, we’re there at every step, guiding them with clarity and confidence.
“Now, as we join Xeinadin, we’re excited to take that commitment even further, with enhanced tools, deeper technical expertise, and more time to dedicate to what our clients value most. It’s business as usual, but with even greater strength behind everything we do.”
Xeinadin said the partnership would help AGS continue its “personable” approach while meeting demand for digital, tailored business support amid economic uncertainty.
