The advisers businesses
and individuals turn to

Northern Star Academies Trust has worked with the Clive Owen LLP team since 2016 and have found them extremely knowledgeable and capable, and responsive to the changing agenda of the Trust and educational sector as a whole.

Their specialist experience within the education sector gives them a unique insight into the challenges we face as a multi academy trust. We really appreciate the level of support they provide, from general forward planning to the detailed preparation regarding key timings for the year end audit and expert advice on key topics.

Lastly, the annual Kreston Academies Benchmark Report, co-written by Chris Beaumont of Clive Owen LLP, is increasingly useful as a data analysis toolkit.

Stephen Preston, Managing Director of Mastercopy, said: “I have enjoyed a longstanding working relationship with Clive Owen LLP and the firm and its people have proven themselves to be a truly trustworthy and reliable partner in every aspect of our financial affairs.
“I would like to recognise and thank Nicola Bellerby, in particular, for her years of dedicated support – from sound personal tax advice all the way through to accounts preparation and other added value services. Her professionalism, insight and personal commitment, together with the support of the wider team, have been invaluable to both me and the business, and we look forward to continuing our relationship for many years to come.”

“We have used Clive Owen LLP for the last 4 years and have used them across a range of services. Initially using them for transactional support and then more recently they have been our auditors and we have used them for our payroll services. The firm has worked very closely with us over the past 4 years as we have looked to grow the business.”

I have worked overseas for a number of years in Australasia and had concerns with my UK tax situation.

I felt daunted in dealing with multiple jurisdictions and, on recommendation, contacted Lee Watson for help and advice.

Lee’s calm manner and pragmatic, open, sensible approach helped me thought the whole process and has resolved the situation – giving me immense peace of mind.

This ethos extends to the whole team at Clive Owen who answered my questions and queries promptly, clearly, and with professionalism. I wouldn’t hesitate to recommend the team if you need assistance with international tax affairs – they made it very easy and straightforward.

As a fellow business in the professional services sector, we really valued Clive Owen LLP’s clear advice and proactive approach throughout the process.

Their support gave us the confidence to go for the Business Growth Fund grant funding and invest in a new, modern office, which will help to support our next phase of growth.

We felt supported and well guided from start to finish, and we wouldn’t hesitate to recommend Carl and the team.
