The advisers businesses
and individuals turn to

I would like to put on record how highly I rate the services of Clive Owen LLP. I have used Clive Owen as both my company and personal accountants since 2011 and have benefited enormously from the broad range of services that they offer.

On many occasions Clive Owen LLP has saved me money personally and for my businesses through efficiencies implemented and advice given on various tax issues, VAT, grant funding etc.

I believe the integrity, reliability, experience and knowledge are second to none in the North-East.

Fusion Joinery are a bespoke joinery solutions business based in the North East of England, manufacturing a range of made-to-order timber products for commercial, residential and domestic projects. We have grown strongly in recent years, but have relied upon external equipment hire to deliver larger projects. We have the opportunity to secure further large contract work, however in order to be more competitive we identified the need to own our own crane. Whilst we were able to source a suitable crane, the investment required was significant and we needed some financial support.
The grants advisory team at Clive Owen supported us in securing a substantial grant from the Business Growth Fund capital grant scheme. The Clive Owen team took the bid writing process off our hands and delivered a very quick turnaround, allowing us to access the funding just before the scheme closed. We have now been able to acquire the crane and have pressed on with our growth plans which include new contracts and new employment.
I strongly suggest that businesses seeking grant support consider utilising the expertise of Carl Wright and his team at Clive Owen LLP.

I have worked with Clive Owen LLP for over 7 years since I bought the business. The firm prepares our annual accounts and assists with our CLC audit and compliance work. They also provide ad hoc accountancy and audit support and advice as and when it is needed.

What I really value about the firm is that they have developed a thorough understanding of our business which supports our decision-making and helps us drive the business forward. Their accountancy and audit support are good at managing our expectations and always deliver to agreed timescales.

The team are professional, friendly, and very accommodating. Chris Beaumont is always available to support and provide proactive advice when we need it.

Their accountancy and audit support ensure we get great service from the team at Clive Owen LLP, and I would highly recommend their services.

We have worked with Clive Owen LLP for 10 years. I have found them to be an invaluable partner, helping us face the complex challenges of Academy accounts. They provide challenge and support to the board and explain complex accounts clearly, showing the trust’s underlying financial performance.
The team has extensive knowledge of the academic sector and brings a wealth of experience. The Academies Accounts Direction and the Academies Trust Handbook change annually. Clive Owen LLP adds value by running seminars to explain the changes and how to implement them. They also contribute to the Kreston Academy Benchmarking Report, which we find very useful.
They have a collaborative approach and are always available to answer queries or provide support.
As leaders in their field, Chris Beaumont and his team are proactive and genuinely invested in our success. They deliver on time and within budget. The peace of mind this gives us means I would definitely recommend them.”
