Xeinadin, a leading professional services firm in the UK and Ireland, has expanded into South Wales with the acquisition of Curtis Bowden & Thomas, an established accountancy firm with offices in Tonypandy and Bridgend. The acquisition supports Xeinadin’s continued commitment to providing business solutions and financial advice to local businesses whilst growing its presence in the Welsh market.
Established in 2003, Curtis Bowden & Thomas provide a variety of general accounting and taxation services to local businesses. They have a strong reputation for offering individualised help to clients in a variety of industries. The firm has played a significant role in assisting local businesses overcome financial challenges and accomplishing their expansion goals. The 22-strong team will continue to operate from their offices, benefiting from the additional support and resources of being part of Xeinadin’s international, collaborative network.
The move strengthens Xeinadin’s goal of expanding its presence in Wales, where there is significant demand for advisory services among small to medium-sized businesses. Following tax changes announced in the recent Budget, it comes at a time when Welsh business owners are under significant stress. 64% reporting high levels of business-related stress – more than any other UK region. Xeinadin’s expansion into South Wales will support local businesses with not only financial advice but also a focus on improving their well-being through easing logistical burdens.
Robert Lloyd, Stephen Smith, and Stephen Davies, the key leaders at Curtis Bowden & Thomas, say: “We’re excited to join Xeinadin and continue delivering the high-quality service our clients expect. South Wales faces distinctive challenges, from economic regeneration to skills shortages, and we’re confident that being part of Xeinadin will improve our ability to support local businesses. With access to a wider network of expertise and resources, we’ll be better equipped to help our clients navigate these challenges and drive sustainable growth.”

With a deep understanding of the local business environment, their expertise aligns well with Xeinadin’s commitment to supporting growth in Wales and we’re excited to welcome them to the team.”
The expansion brings an additional 22 colleagues to Xeinadin’s operations in South Wales, who will continue to deliver valuable and practical solutions to their clients.
