Equiom's Global CEO Sheila Dean commented: 'This is a very exciting acquisition for Equiom. Having recently begun servicing private clients through South Dakota, it gives us a much broader capacity to support clients in North America.

Advancing technology has already enabled us to have a better conversation with our clients, engaging more often and actively. Equiom will leverage Xen's experience with a view to adopting their model of next generation accounting solutions.

A big thank you to the acquisition team for making this a reality and to Gowling WLG for their support.'

Since 2013, we have prided ourselves on setting the trend with regard to offering our customers a truly easy, automated and pain-free accounting experience by pairing up professional accountants with the latest cloud accounting apps, all for a fixed monthly price. As we have grown, so have our clients and it's now important to shift things up a gear to take our cloud accounting services to a global stage by becoming part of Equiom, a firm that truly gets our model and what we are setting out to achieve. By being able to leverage Equiom's global footprint and expertise across a wide range of sectors and regions, we will be able to support our valued clients with an enhanced service throughout their growth.
