Xeinadin, a top 20 accountancy and business advisory firm in the UK and Ireland, has acquired Silver Levene, one of London’s most established independent practices. This is Xeinadin’s largest acquisition to date and is a major step in expanding its footprint and influence across the capital and the UK.
With 19 partners, nearly 150 members of staff across two locations and being headquartered in London, Silver Levene is recognised for its strength in niche industries. They are trusted advisers to businesses across the legal, film, TV, music and publishing industries and have a strong portfolio of clients in pharmacy and private healthcare. Backed by over 60 years of practical experience, Silver Levene has built a loyal client base and a reputation for solving complex issues without relying on generic solutions. Silver Levene’s integration significantly expands Xeinadin’s reach in London, strengthening its ability to support SMEs across the capital with tailored and sector-specific advice.
Silver Levene joined Xeinadin to build on its existing strengths and accelerate its plans for long-term and sustainable growth. As client needs grow and regulatory expectations shift, the firm saw an opportunity to enhance what it already does very well. The Xeinadin integrated platform will immediately facilitate access to nationwide expertise, to an in-house group of specialist advisors, economies of scale, and facilitate the attraction and retention of talent. Silver Levene will benefit from Xeinadin’s back-office support, taking the burden away from having to manage Compliance, IT, HR, Marketing and Procurement, enabling them to spend more time with clients and their colleagues.
“This is a standout firm. The team at Silver Levene have built something with a clear point of difference and real depth. Their understanding of their sectors is second to none and work with clients who expect more than just compliance,” said Derry Crowley, CEO at Xeinadin. “Bringing them into Xeinadin sharpens our capabilities in London and brings in knowledge that adds immediate value. We really look forward to working with our new partners who we know will fit very well into our entrepreneurial culture.”
“We pride ourselves in thinking outside of the box. Clients come to us for solutions that others might not spot. We wanted to stay at the forefront of London’s accountancy market – not as a small cog in a big wheel, but as a firm with something meaningful to offer at the heart of the capital,” said Marc Franks, Managing Partner at Silver Levene. “What mattered to us was finding a true fit for our personality, our culture and our independence of thought that’s been at the heart of Silver Levene for decades. Xeinadin understood that straight away and this move gives us the backing to keep developing. Anything has always been possible, but more is achievable now that the firm is part of Xeinadin.”
With Xeinadin’s partner-led structure, depth of services and cloud accounting expertise, Silver Levene’s clients now gain access to a broad and technology enabled offering. It supports businesses across every stage of their growth, providing the kind of personalised and tailored business support that is needed more than ever.
