Client perspective
In their words

Carolyn Dent from Bishop Chadwick Education Trust said,
“We have used Clive Owen LLP since February 2016, when we were incorporated. They originally acted as both our external and internal auditors, and since the financial year 2020/21, they have acted solely as our external auditors.
They have also supported us with auditing services for teachers’ pensions and external grant assurance services.
Our organisation must comply with the Academy Trust Handbook, and the work we do with Clive Owen LLP enables us to achieve this requirement.
Through the audit process, our auditors help us improve performance and streamline our processes, ensuring compliance and allowing us to better support our schools. As our auditors, they highlight our strengths and provide guidance where we have areas for development.
I would recommend Clive Owen LLP. Their processes are thorough, robust, and timely. Our auditors are always helpful and supportive, and happy to answer any ad hoc queries throughout the year.

“Clive Owen provided fantastic support in helping us secure funding through the Durham Business Growth Programme, which enabled us to relocate to larger premises and bring two sites together into a single, centralised facility.

Their advice and guidance throughout the process made the application straightforward and gave us the confidence we needed to move forward. Securing this funding has allowed us to strengthen our operations and create a solid platform for future growth.”

The best thing about working with Clive Owen LLP is that they are both proactive and reactive and I feel as if we in fact work in partnership with them. Academy accounts are very complex and I have found Clive Owen LLP are leaders in their field and I have the upmost confidence in the advice and support that they give.
