LONDON ACCOUNTANCY FIRM GRUNBERG EXPANDS AS XEINADIN BACKING FUELS GROWTH
Grunberg, the London-based accountancy firm that forms part of the Xeinadin Group, has expanded its audit and advisory capabilities with the appointment of two experienced professionals, underlining the firm’s growth ambitions and focus on client service.
The firm has recruited Hinali Shah as Audit Senior and Rob Watts as Accounts Manager, adding depth to its audit, statutory reporting and SME advisory functions at a time when many businesses are navigating economic uncertainty and heightened compliance demands.
Hinali brings more than a decade of experience in financial reporting and statutory accounts, as well as over four years of audit experience. In her new role, she will lead the preparation of statutory accounts and oversee audit fieldwork across a diverse client portfolio spanning publishing, manufacturing, retail, investment management, professional services and charities.
“I am looking forward to joining the Grunberg team and working closely with clients across a range of industries,” she said.
“My focus is on delivering clear, reliable audit work that helps clients feel confident in their reporting and decision-making. Building trusted relationships is important to me and I am excited to bring that approach to the firm.”
Her appointment comes as audit quality, regulatory scrutiny and financial transparency remain high on the agenda for UK businesses, particularly those operating across multiple sectors.
Rob Watts joins as Accounts Manager, bringing more than 14 years of experience gained across small owner-managed businesses, mid-tier practices and a top ten accountancy firm. A qualified accountant, he will act as a primary point of contact for clients, overseeing year-end compliance and providing ongoing advisory support aimed at helping businesses manage growth, risk and performance.
“My goal is to help our clients focus on the most important parts of their business while supporting both their commercial and personal objectives,” he said.
“I take pride in developing junior colleagues and helping them grow into trusted advisers, which feels especially important given the economic uncertainty many SMEs are facing at the moment.
“I am also pleased to be joining Grunberg at such an exciting stage in its growth. Becoming part of Xeinadin gives the firm access to broader expertise and resources, strengthening what we can offer clients.”
The integration within Xeinadin — a group that provides accountancy and advisory services across the UK and Ireland — has given Grunberg access to a wider pool of technical expertise and sector insight, reinforcing its competitive position in the London accountancy market.
Robert Bean, Managing Partner at Grunberg, said: “We are incredibly fortunate to have such a strong team at Grunberg, and I could not be happier to be adding Hinali and Rob to it. Their backgrounds and experience will support our growth and help us continue delivering a high-quality service to our clients.”
Grunberg provides audit, tax, accountancy and advisory services to businesses nationwide. The latest appointments signal continued investment in senior talent as the firm responds to growing demand for compliance support, strategic advisory services and resilient financial management among SMEs and mid-market companies.
In a professional services market shaped by regulatory complexity, economic volatility and rising expectations around governance, strengthening in-house expertise remains central to sustaining growth and maintaining client confidence.
