Marc Franks, Managing Partner at Silver Levene, said: “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.”
“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.”
