Xeinadin, one of the UK’s top 20 professional services firms in the UK and Ireland, has announced the acquisition of AGS Accountants & Business Advisors, based in Dudley. This marks the latest step in Xeinadin’s strategic M&A expansion, further enhancing its footprint in the West Midlands.
Established in 1989, AGS is a full-service firm supporting SMEs and individuals not only in Dudley but also across England and Wales. The firm offers a comprehensive suite of professional services, spanning accounting, audit, payroll, tax advice and business planning. Our robust transactional services offering, covering both buy-side and sell-side due diligence, sets us apart as trusted partners in complex deals. Known for its personable approach and deep local relationships, AGS has built a reputation for helping owner-managed businesses navigate change and plan for the future.
The partnership with Xeinadin will enable AGS to deliver an expanded range of specialist advice including R&D tax relief to succession planning, while continuing to provide the hands-on support it is known for locally. It strengthens Xeinadin’s already well-established transactional services offering and expands its growing presence in the healthcare sector.
The move comes as many businesses in the region are experiencing uncertainty over tax, staffing and future planning. As part of Xeinadin, AGS will gain access to wider resources, central support services and national knowledge-sharing. This will free up time locally, expand what the team can offer, and enable greater support for businesses facing this uncertainty.
Derry Crowley, CEO at Xeinadin, said: “AGS is exactly the kind of firm we want in the group – trusted, practical and rooted in the local community. Their work with businesses across the Midlands and beyond is a good example of the kind of support that SMEs need right now, and we’re looking forward to backing that with additional expertise and investment.”
Kevin Corey, Director at AGS, said: “At the heart of our success lies one simple principle, building trusted relationships by focusing on what truly matters to our clients and their businesses. From strategic year-end tax planning to compliance and advising on acquisitions or sales, we’re there at every step, guiding them with clarity and confidence. Now, as we join Xeinadin, we’re excited to take that commitment even further, with enhanced tools, deeper technical expertise, and more time to dedicate to what our clients value most. It’s business as usual, but with even greater strength behind everything we do.”
AGS’s clients will now benefit from Xeinadin’s partner-led agility and cloud accounting expertise, giving the firm a truly comprehensive, digital first-solution. Tailored and personal business support is needed more than ever, and the partnership will empower businesses at every stage of their growth.
