Cork's Quintas rebrands to Xeinadin as €40m investment planned

Irish accountancy firm Quintas has announced it is rebranding as Xeinadin in Ireland.

The move comes after the Cork-headquartered firm joined Xeinadin, one of the leading professional services firms in Ireland and the UK, last September. Xeinadin has €40m earmarked for investment into Ireland over the next 18 months, as it expands its footprint here with a core focus on taxation and business advisory services and audit for SMEs across Ireland.

Eight other Irish firms – BCC, Crowley McCarthy, Tynan Dillon, O’Mahony Donnelly, Cregans, Colleran, O’Brien Neenan and Liam Burns - have also rebranded to Xeinadin, bringing the total Irish workforce to more than 500. Headquartered in London and with a flagship office in Dublin, Xeinadin has more than 135 offices and more than 2,000 employees across Ireland and the UK. One of the largest acquisitions to date by Xeinadin, Quintas was established in 2005 and currently has a team of 70, with plans to expand in line with their expected growth.

Speaking at the rebrand launch event in Cork, Minister for Finance Michael McGrath TD said: “SMEs in Ireland are the backbone of the Irish economy, and benefit from using partners that truly understand the realities of growing a business from the ground up. I am a strong believer in the power of collaboration, and am looking forward to what the combined power of these firms can achieve.”

Speaking on the announcement, CEO of Xeinadin Derry Crowley said: “We are celebrating the latest exciting step in our growth in Ireland, with all our Irish firms rebranding under one unified name – Xeinadin. As one of the fastest growing advisory firms in Ireland and the UK, this will bring huge opportunities for both the firms rebranding and all our clients across the SME sector.”

Quintas Managing Partner Paul O’Connell will take on the title of Head of Strategy and Acquisitions at Xeinadin in Ireland. The accountancy and tax firm specialises in business advisory, corporate finance, banking, debt resolution and insolvency, and mergers and acquisitions for SMEs and owner-managed and family businesses.
