Expert Insight,
practical advice

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.

The best thing about working with Clive Owen LLP is that they are both proactive and reactive and I feel as if we in fact work in partnership with them. Academy accounts are very complex and I have found Clive Owen LLP are leaders in their field and I have the upmost confidence in the advice and support that they give.

“We have used Clive Owen LLP for the last 4 years and have used them across a range of services. Initially using them for transactional support and then more recently they have been our auditors and we have used them for our payroll services. The firm has worked very closely with us over the past 4 years as we have looked to grow the business.”

Allison Mckay, CEO and Founder Director, said:
“The Forum is a live music venue and community arts hub in central Darlington. It has rehearsal rooms, a recording studio, and delivers educational services and creative activities. The venue operates as a social enterprise in the form of a Community Benefit Society.
We needed investment to support our growth plan, including ambitious capital improvements to our Borough Road building. We approached the Clive Owen LLP grants team to help with the financial modelling and forecasts needed for a grant application. Their expertise was crucial for our investment bid.
Eleanor Kay from the Clive Owen LLP was assigned to support us. She took great care in understanding our needs and business model. This resulted in a comprehensive set of financial assumptions and forecasts.
I highly recommend Clive Owen LLP, particularly Eleanor and the grants team. Their support has strengthened our business case and growth plan, giving us confidence in our ability to raise investment and achieve our ambitions.”
