Xeinadin Group has announced it has acquired McKeogh Gallagher Ryan, a specialist provider of audit, tax and advisory services across Ireland.
McKeogh Gallagher Ryan is the largest firm of independent accountants in the midwest region of Ireland, servicing clients in industries including healthcare, renewables, and agriculture, as well as family-owned businesses and credit unions. The firm currently has 52 team members and four partners. It also specialises in areas such as EIIS, succession planning, forensic accounting, insolvency, M&A, bank and debt advisory.
Established in 2012 by Mary McKeogh, Eoin Gallagher and Eoin Ryan, the firm subsequently expanded with the acquisition of leading firms in Ennis and Nenagh.
The expansion is the 17th made by Xeinadin since Exponent’s investment last year, as well as being the second significant Irish firm joining the group recently, following the acquisition of Cork-based accountancy and wealth management firm Quintas. The new firm takes the group’s headcount in Ireland to over 500.
Derry Crowley, CEO of Xeinadin Group, said: “We are thrilled to welcome McKeogh Gallagher Ryan to the Xeinadin Group. We’re making great strides in our growth in Ireland and are becoming a true powerhouse in the Irish professional services market. McKeogh Gallagher Ryan brings additional expertise into the group and we’re looking forward to working with the team.”
Mary McKeogh, partner at McKeogh Gallagher Ryan, said: “We are excited to be joining Xeinadin and being part of a group that focuses on delivering the highest standard of business advisory and accountancy services across the UK and Ireland.
“The move is a natural evolution for a forward-thinking and progressive firm of accountants focused on growth and we know it will bring new opportunities for both our employees and clients.”
