Client perspective
In their words

We’ve enjoyed an excellent working relationship with Clive Owen LLP since early 2022 in the key areas of audit & accounts, tax planning and payroll processing services. 

The co-owners and directors of 22 Yards greatly appreciate the work of Jonathan Doyle and Shirley Lamb, along with their colleagues in the York and Darlington offices.

Both teams have a very collaborative approach to looking after us and are very thorough, efficient, professional and knowledgeable. Likewise, always available to answer queries or provide support when needed in timely manner.

Needless to say, we are in safe hands with Clive Owen and have absolutely no hesitation in recommending the firm to any business, big or small, looking for great service.

Silcoates

Clive Owen LLP has been the ideal professional partner for the school for many years. Chris and his team are helpful, supportive and genuinely interested in our progress and success. With an extensive understanding of the education sector and its ongoing challenges, advice is pragmatic and clearly presented whilst projects are delivered in a timely and collaborative manner and within budget. I cannot recommend the team highly enough.

 

Silcoates School

I am a Medical Doctor who lives in Spain and provides medical services in both the UK and Spain on a self-employed basis.

I have used Clive Owen LLP for over a decade. They have always helped me to do my tax returns and provide advice on tax matters.

It has been vital for my business to keep tax issues clear so there are no mix ups between both countries tax authorities. It is also of great value making sure I pay just the right amount of tax and keeping up to date with current regulations.

I would reccomend them to anybody who intends to do business in the UK and other EU Countries

At Kasai UK, we greatly valued the support provided by Clive Owen LLP in securing a Business Growth Fund grant to help develop our solvent-free manufacturing process.
Their expert guidance and proactive management of the application played a key role in helping us access the funding needed to support our greener, more sustainable production ambitions.
As a business that is becoming increasingly climate-conscious, it was important for us to work with advisers who share similar values. Clive Owen’s commitment as climate champions meant they really understood both our commercial objectives and our environmental priorities, adding genuine value throughout the process.

PCE

PCE is headquartered in Teesside and has branches throughout Europe.  As the Group Finance Director, it is vital that I can rely on my advisors to help navigate the compliance and taxation issues that running a European group entails.  The business has used Clive Owen for nearly twenty five years and have worked specifically with Kevin Shotton for the last five.

Kevin and his team perform the full Group audit including our overseas subsidiaries. Further, as well as giving significant input on our UK taxation position, I can and do call on the team’s expertise to help with transfer pricing and other issues associated with running a multinational business.  I genuinely appreciate the time and effort that Kevin puts into the relationship; I know during our meetings that he will have considered issues from a number of different angles meaning he is able to present us with options that we might not otherwise have thought of.

This breadth of knowledge and ownership of the relationship mean that I cannot recommend him highly enough.

Sims Suzuki

Stephen A Sims (Cars) Limited is a Suzuki dealership based on McMullen Road in Darlington. I appointed Clive Owen LLP to undertake the audit and related corporation tax matters of the Stephen A Sims (Cars) Limited group (7 companies).

Since that date they have assisted proactively with corporate and personal tax matters. In addition they have provided strategic direction on various matters including directors’ loan accounts and shareholdings. I would be pleased to recommend Clive Owen LLP to other motor traders looking for professional proactive advice.
