Xeinadin, one of the leading professional service firms in Ireland and the UK, has announced that O’Rourke & Co, a Kerry-based cloud-accounting practice, will be joining its growing Irish team.
Founded in 2011, O’Rourke & Co specialises in cloud and digital accounting to support small and medium-sized businesses. Services include system design & migration to digital accounting platforms and, in addition, ongoing monthly support to clients including management accounts, payroll, VAT and year-end compliance. They also support businesses navigating complex EU/UK expansion including VAT registration in other countries, cross-border selling and OSS requirements. Many clients of O’Rourke & Co have experienced exceptional growth over recent years on the back of up-to-date financial data at the owners’ fingertips and access to quick technical advice from Seán and his team.
O’Rourke & Co have a strong client base, particularly in professional services, engineering, online retail, software and medical services sectors. Their head office is in Killarney, and the firm also has an office presence in Cork. Going from strength to strength the firm has doubled its headcount in the last 5 years.
Commenting on the announcement, Sandra Clarke, Managing Partner of Xeinadin Ireland, said: “Welcoming O’Rourke & Co to Xeinadin is another vital step forward in expanding our services in Ireland and the Munster region. Their digital expertise and strong reputation for building lasting client relationships were extremely attractive to us. Their ability to build modern financial systems that evolve with business needs, particularly at a time when AI and new technologies are becoming normalised, is a significant strength in supporting our clients nationally.”
Seán O’Rourke, Founder of O’Rourke & Co, said: “Joining Xeinadin is a natural next step for our firm and our ambitious clients. What attracted us to Xeinadin was their ‘SME first’ approach and their investment in future cloud technology in Ireland and the UK, something that resonated with me in our discussions.”
“By becoming part of Xeinadin, our clients retain the close working relationships they value while gaining access to a wider pool of experts and services across Ireland and the UK, helping them grow. For our team, it offers new development opportunities and the support of a nationwide network of like-minded professionals. We are excited for what this next chapter will bring with Xeinadin.”
O’Rourke & Co are the seventh firm to join Xeinadin’s Irish team in 2025, with Warren & Partners, KBG Accountants, FCC Accountants, FMCA Advisory Ltd, Folan & Co and O’Reilly & Co joining earlier this year. In 2024, Xeinadin committed to investing over €40 million into Ireland in 18 months. This investment phase is expected to be completed in Q1 of 2026, with new acquisitions being announced in January and February. Looking further ahead into 2026, Xeinadin is preparing a further round of strategic investment aimed at acquiring additional practices and further expanding our presence across Ireland.
