We have worked with Clive Owen LLP for 10 years and I have found them to be an invaluable partner for us, helping us face the complex challenges that Academy accounts present. They provide challenge and support to the board as well as helping to explain complex accounts in a way that provides clarity on the underlying financial performance of the trust.
The team has extensive knowledge of the academic sector and brings a wealth of experience and expertise to the role. The Academies Accounts Direction and the Academies Trust Handbook change annually, and the firm adds value by running seminars to update us on what the changes will mean for us and how best to implement them. They are also involved in writing the Kreston Academy Benchmarking Report which we find really useful.
They have a very collaborative approach, and the team are always available to answer queries or give support when needed.
As leaders in their field, I feel Chris Beaumont and his team are proactive and genuinely invested in our performance and success. They deliver on time and to the agreed budget. The peace of mind this gives us means I would definitely recommend them.
