Galway accountancy firm FCC joins financial services group Xeinadin
This is the third firm to join Xeinadin in 2025, following Dublin-based Warren & Partners and KBG Accountants, across Cavan, Leitrim and Longford, joining earlier this year.
Xeinadin already has offices in Galway before FCC's addition.
FCC was previously part of CAG Chartered Accountants (Crescent Accountancy Group) with clients based in retail, construction, manufacturing, food processing, hospitality, legal and medical industries. The practice can trace its origins in the accountancy profession back to 1971. Following a reorganisation of the old practice in 2017, FCC Chartered Accountants was formed.
FCC's client base has doubled since 2021. FCC co-founder Frank Fahy, will remain involved as the company rebrands to Xeinadin.
'A firm of the calibre of FCC Chartered Accountants joining Xeinadin is another step forward in our growth in Ireland and the west of the country. Its unique expertise in providing advice in highly complex industries is a huge positive to our team and clients nationally," said Xeinadin managing partner Sandra Clarke.
In March 2025, Xeinadin was named as the 18th largest accountancy firm in the UK in the Accountancy Daily Top 75 and is one of the largest firms of accountants in the Republic of Ireland.

Us Chain Walmart Opens First Case Ready Beef Facility in Kansas
The move comes as the company aims to supply customers with sustainable beef. The US-based supermarket chain Walmart has opened its first in-store case-ready beef facility in Kansas. The facility aims to provide customers with an end to end supply chain for Angus beef. The move will see over 600 new jobs being created, directly impacting the community of Olathe, the fourth most-populous city in Kansas. It comes after Walmart's investment in the Nebraska-based Sustainable Beef company in 2022. The investment was part of Walmart's strategy to supply consumers with local Angus beef, promoting transparency, efficiency and resilience. Walmart have stated that Sustainable Beef LLC sources their cattle from within a 250-mile radius Walmart's food division executive vice president, John Laney said: 'The opening of our new facility in Olathe, Kansas, is centered on delivering more of what our customers want — affordable food and quality they can trust. "This is the first case-ready facility fully owned and operated by Walmart, and that milestone ensures we're able to bring more consistency, more transparency and more value to our customers.' Kansas Governor Laura Kelly said: 'Kansas has long been at the forefront of the agriculture industry, and Walmart's investment in Olathe is further driving our success. 'Through food production and supply chain innovations, we are proud to partner with Walmart to transform how we feed communities across our state and the region.' Walmart have said that the new facility will fulfill demand for quality beef in the region and is delivering a positive and long-lasting impact. The facility has the capacity to process fresh beef into case-ready cuts, which will be packaged and prepared for retail before being shipped directly to Walmart distribution centres to serve stores in the US midwest. The company noted that the facility is also expected to increase business for suppliers and service providers, further boosting the facility's impact on the community. Olathe Mayor John Bacon said: 'Walmart's decision to open its new case-ready facility in Olathe isn't just a business investment — it's a vote of confidence in our community and our workforce. 'With over 600 new jobs being created, this facility will fuel local economic growth and reinforce Olathe's position as a regional agricultural leader. "We're proud to work with Walmart and build more economic opportunity for our residents.' Walmart highlighted that this facility supports the company's commitment to US manufacturing, with plans to invest $350 billion in US-made products by 2031.
