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.

Clive Owen LLP supported me with my self-assessment tax return.

I was changing jobs at the time and for the first few months in my new role, I was unfortunately taxed at the wrong level. It got quite complicated and HMRC were giving me different codes weekly at one point!

I dealt with Lee Watson who was always available and happy to advise regarding any questions I had. He then did my self-assessment tax return to tie up the move of companies and help me get the correct tax code.

The flexibility to be able to contact Lee and get a reply the same day was just exceptional and gave me peace of mind and the confidence that I was following HMRC tax requirements correctly.

I would highly recommend Clive Owen LLP.  They offer excellent service, a quick response and I felt they were very reasonably priced.

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.
