Expert Insight,
practical advice

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.

I have worked with Clive Owen LLP since 2011. Throughout this time, Chris Beaumont and his team have consistently delivered exceptional service and support. Their expertise in managing my year-end accounts and handling ad hoc accounting needs has been invaluable to my business.
They proactively identify potential business issues. Chris and Clive Owen provide insightful advice that helps me navigate my financial landscape with confidence.
The entire team is personable and professional. They remain approachable, respond quickly, and always make time to answer my questions—no matter how big or small. They listen carefully, explain complex matters clearly, and make me feel like a valued partner rather than just another client.
They complete work promptly and meet deadlines consistently. I rely on them to deliver accurate and thorough financial reports, which lets me focus on my business with peace of mind knowing my finances are in capable hands.

Northern Star Academies Trust has worked with the Clive Owen LLP team since 2016 and have found them extremely knowledgeable and capable, and responsive to the changing agenda of the Trust and educational sector as a whole.

Their specialist experience within the education sector gives them a unique insight into the challenges we face as a multi academy trust. We really appreciate the level of support they provide, from general forward planning to the detailed preparation regarding key timings for the year end audit and expert advice on key topics.

Lastly, the annual Kreston Academies Benchmark Report, co-written by Chris Beaumont of Clive Owen LLP, is increasingly useful as a data analysis toolkit.

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.
