Xeinadin continues acquisition spree in South of England

Xeinadin has announced that it has acquired JCS Accountants in Sutton, Surrey, and Mudd Partners LLP in Essex, expanding its footprint in the South of England.

Integration enables greater collaboration between Mudd, JCS and other Xeinadin offices in the South, allowing for shared resources and expertise in specialist areas such as auditing and digital solutions.

Founded in 1927, JCS Accountants has almost a century long history of working closely with charities and family-owned businesses.

Mudd transitioned to Xeinadin from day one, fully rebranding under its new name at the start of January 2025.

The acquisition strengthens Xeinadin’s presence in Essex by bringing in a firm with a long-standing reputation for working with owner-managed businesses and delivering high-quality audit services.

Derry Crowley, CEO of Xeinadin, said: “Mudd Partners LLP and JCS Accountants have built strong reputations in the South of England by providing businesses and charities with the tailored support they need to succeed in a competitive regional economy. Their expertise in charity audit and their client-focused approaches align perfectly with Xeinadin’s commitment to supporting SMEs and specialist sectors.

“We welcome Mudd Partners LLP and JCS into Xeinadin and look forward to building on their nearly century-long legacies of trusted service, while ensuring that their clients continue to receive tailored financial guidance – now backed by the full strength of Xeinadin’s resources and national network.”

Dick Haffenden, director at JCS Accountants, added: “Xeinadin is a firm that shares our values of delivering a complete package of services whilst maintaining a high-quality and collaborative client service.

“By joining forces with the Xeinadin team, we not only strengthen the services we can offer to our clients but also provide our staff with the opportunity to benefit from the resources and collaborative network of a larger organisation. We are confident this will allow us to better meet the changing needs of our clients and build on the strong foundations we have already established.”
