Client perspective
In their words

TICA

“Since engaging with Clive Owen LLP, we have modernised. The accounts were very paper based, they have now been brought into electric format. They are more transparent and user friendly, this means we can get accurate information that we can forecast from”

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.

Richmond Fire Engineers LTD

Richmond Fire Engineers design, install and maintain automatic sprinkler systems throughout the UK.

We have been using Kevin Shotton and the team at Clive Owen LLP for over five years now and would not consider using any other accounting firm.

As well as helping with our quarterly and year end accounts, Clive Owen LLP are always at the end of the phone to offer help with our business queries.

Kevin and the team supported our recent management buyout (MBO) which made sure this challenging  process ran very smoothly.

I would recommend Kevin and the team at Clive Owen LLP to anyone who wants an all-round accountancy and business advisory firm to look after them individually and work with them to support their growing business needs.

Richmond Fire Engineers LTD

We were delighted to work with Clive Owen LLP who prepared an Independent Accountant’s Report for our Innovate UK grant claim. 

Their professionalism and attention to detail were evident throughout the process, with the report completed and issued ahead of our planned submission deadline.

We greatly appreciated their reliability, expertise and overall excellent service, and would highly recommend Eleanor and the wider Grants team.
