Client perspective
In their words

“Clive Owen’s support was instrumental in helping us secure the funding we needed to invest in new manufacturing equipment at our Cramlington site, securing the future of 12 skilled jobs.

The Business Growth Fund grant helped us to enhance our production capabilities and support continued growth, and the team provided valuable knowledge and experience throughout the grant application process.”

Carmel College

We have worked with Clive Owen LLP during the school’s first year of Academy status and have found the company to be a thoroughly professional organisation. As well as undertaking the yearend audit and responsible officer role, they have provided a number of training courses which we have found very useful. Of particular interest was the session on ‘Academy Finance’ where governors gain a better understanding of the issues we may face as an Academy – funding environment, VAT, gift aid, corporation tax and cash flow implications to name but a few.

The Brontë Society looks after the Brontë Parsonage, which was home to the Brontë sisters.

The museum houses the largest collection of Brontë material, including manuscripts and furniture that date back to the 1800’s.

The museum has thousands of visitors from across the globe each year and has been a valued client of Clive Owen LLP for over a decade, mainly working alongside charities expert, Chris Beaumont. 

Rebecca, director at the society, ” As well as the things that have to happen like the accounts and the audit, it has been the additional support and advice given on an ad-hoc basis that has been valuable. We feel like we can come to Clive Owen LLP for open and honest advice, as a critical friend.”

I have worked with Clive Owen LLP for over 7 years since I bought the business. The firm prepares our annual accounts and assists with our CLC audit and compliance work. They also provide ad hoc accountancy and audit support and advice as and when it is needed.

What I really value about the firm is that they have developed a thorough understanding of our business which supports our decision-making and helps us drive the business forward. Their accountancy and audit support are good at managing our expectations and always deliver to agreed timescales.

The team are professional, friendly, and very accommodating. Chris Beaumont is always available to support and provide proactive advice when we need it.

Their accountancy and audit support ensure we get great service from the team at Clive Owen LLP, and I would highly recommend their services.
