Xeinadin, a professional services company in the UK and Ireland, has acquired Bennett Whitehouse, an accountancy practice located in Brierley Hill, West Midlands.
Financial details of the deal have not been disclosed by the two parties.
Bennett Whitehouse was founded in 2018 by Gavin Whitehouse and has expanded from a solo operation to a team of 40 within six years.
The company has established two key areas of expertise: payroll services for franchise businesses and service charge certification and accounts for both commercial and residential properties.
These services are supported by custom software designed to enhance efficiency, including tools for service charge workflows and a payroll automation system that is currently being developed.
With this acquisition, Bennett Whitehouse will join Xeinadin’s network of more than 100 offices across the UK and Ireland, allowing it to retain its local identity while gaining access to broader resources.
The integration into Xeinadin is set to improve Bennett Whitehouse’s capabilities in tax and VAT advisory services.
Bennett Whitehouse founder and CEO Gavin Whitehouse said: “I have worked with some of my team for more than 20 years, and many of our clients have been with us just as long. This move is about making sure those relationships are protected for the future.
“We will still be the same people our clients know and trust, but now we will have the backing of Xeinadin’s national network with deeper expertise in areas like tax and VAT, and the resources to grow in a way that is sustainable for everyone.
“It is also going to be a real lift for our team; better benefits, more opportunities and the reassurance of being part of something bigger.”
Clients of Bennett Whitehouse will gain access to Xeinadin’s partner-led approach and cloud accounting expertise, offering a comprehensive digital solution.
Xeinadin CEO Derry Crowley said: “Gavin has built a practice with a national reputation in two very specialised areas, run by people who have chosen to work together for decades. That loyalty, both within the team and from clients, is rare. It is exactly the kind of culture we want in Xeinadin.
“By combining their expertise with our national platform, we can help Bennett Whitehouse do more of what they already do brilliantly, whether that is scaling their payroll operation, targeting bigger service charge contracts, or giving clients access to the full breadth of advisory services they now have at their fingertips.”
