Xeinadin to recruit 70 graduates in Limerick under expanded programme

Limerick graduates will have 70 new places available in Xeinadin’s 2027 early‑careers programme, a 40 per cent rise on the previous intake.

The accountancy and business‑advice firm said the expansion reflects the impact of emerging technologies such as AI on working and hiring practices across the sector. Despite the technological shift, Xeinadin stresses the continued need for graduate talent.

Graduates will spend their first one to two years gaining practical experience in accounting, tax, bookkeeping and audit, with exposure to a variety of sectors and clients, particularly within the firm’s core SME market.

Xeinadin operates 33 offices across Ireland, and the graduate programme is offered throughout its regional network as well as in the country’s major cities.

Sandra Clarke, Managing Partner, Ireland at Xeinadin, said AI is becoming an increasingly important tool in accountancy but will not replace the need for graduates. She added that relationship‑driven work with SMEs means clients still want personal contact, and the firm aims to develop people skills and inspire the next generation of business advisors in Ireland.
