The advisers businesses
and individuals turn to

I am Group Finance Director for the International Riding Company Limited, which incorporates the following companies, Harry Hall (on-line retailer of equestrian products and services), Stuncroft Limited (manufacturer and wholesaler of tailored clothing including bespoke MTM suits) and Huufe Limited (Equestrian App that uses GPS to track and trace your rides)

We appointed Clive Owen LLP in April 2017 and since then they have helped to undertake all audit, tax and R&D work for the group and its subsidiaries. Clive Owen have become a valued partner, acting as consultants on the strategic direction of the company.

Our business is unique with many differing options from manufacturing and retail to subscriptions and insurance – Clive Owen have added value by enabling us to provide shareholder wealth.

Providing informative solutions to strategic business decision making above and beyond the traditional role of auditors means that I would absolutely recommend Clive Owen for their continued proactive approach to the direction of the business.

NEG Architectural Systems design, manufacture and install architectural façade systems from our base in Washington, Tyne and Wear. Following strong, sustained growth we reached a point where we had a bottleneck in one of our key production processes. We had to make a decision as to whether to invest in new profiling equipment or to wait until market demand became clearer. We learned about the opportunity to secure grant support to de-risk our investment and appointed the Clive Owen grants advisory team to undertake the bid writing process on our behalf.

We were successful with our application, and this has allowed us to commit to the new machinery and create new jobs in the business. The support from Clive Owen allowed us to speed up the application timeline whilst our management team focussed on the business. We would recommend working with Joe Vera-Sanso and Carl Wright on all things grants.

BPP Visual Ltd are specialists in visual management and corporate signage.

We have been using Clive Owen LLP for six years from the day we set up BPP Visual as a limited company and moved into our new premises in Sunderland.

Kevin Shotton and the team at Clive Owen LLP provide ongoing monthly support to our organisation. Their services range from processing our monthly transactions in Xero, processing our payroll and quarterly VAT returns to R&D submissions, annual tax returns and yearly financial reviews.

The effect on our business from having this level of support from the team at Clive Owen LLP monthly has completely transformed the way our company operates. It has saved us countless hours and significant pain trying to manage this process ourselves and I can’t recommend their support highly enough.

The added confidence this brings knowing that our business is under control and that every transaction is accounted for each month lets us concentrate on what we are good at.

An additional function that Clive Owen LLP also provides for us is expert financial reviews, annually.  This has helped us to understand not only how we have performed over the year but also provides the financial information we need to look at longer term planning from both a personal and business perspective.

If I could give any new start up business one line of advice, it would be to choose Clive Owen LLP to take care of their accounts and to provide advice on business finances. This will then give them the ability to concentrate on running the operational side of the business.

I just wanted to express my sincere gratitude for your professionalism, wise counsel, and patience whilst supporting me with this [tax advice]. I’m conscious that the tight timeframe hasn’t made things easy, but you’ve handled it with composure and expertise – and I’m very grateful.

I’ve seen less precise and slower F1 pit stops than the service from Adam [Wingrove] and the team.
