Leading SME accountancy, audit and business advisory firm Xeinadin has expanded with its latest acquisition. The company has acquired Cooper Dawn Jerrom (CDJ), a well-established West London practice advising SMEs across food, logistics and property.
CDJ, which is known for its close ties with the Western International Market and the Felix Project, has specialisms spanning audit and accountancy, tax, VAT, payroll, probate and estate guidance for families.
The firm also has extensive experience in property-related matters, community-focused work and partnerships with food redistribution charities. The company’s clients range from local family-run operations to international traders.
Xeinadin CEO Derry Crowley said that CDJ is “exactly the type of practice” that the company seeks to acquire, describing the firm as “grounded in their community, trusted by clients, and forward-thinking in how they respond to today’s business landscape”.
Crowley added that the deal “strengthens our London footprint and expands our expertise in key trading sectors.”
In a joint statement, CDJ partners Michael Amos, Shama Meghjee-Caine and Keith Ward (pictured above) said: “After speaking with a number of practices, it was clear Xeinadin was different and that they spoke our language.”
“For us, it wasn’t just about the numbers. We wanted continuity for our staff and clients, but also a partner who understood the demands of accountants today; from AI and compliance, to culture and client trust. Xeinadin already had the infrastructure we were looking for, and importantly, shares our values.”
Keith Ward, who also serves as Chair of the Tenants Association at the Western International Market, added that joining Xeinadin would enable the business to strengthen its support for clients by navigating rising costs, staffing pressures and regulatory changes, especially in markets like food and beverage - where service charges and payroll overheads are becoming critical.
Following the acquisition, CDJ clients will immediately gain access to Xeinadin’s cloud-first tools and specialist advisory services, while continuing to work with their existing local team, ensuring continuity and trust.
