We have used Clive Owen’s audit services for seven years and would recommend them to any business requiring an audit. Our main point of contact is audit partner Chris Beaumont who heads up a knowledgeable and experienced team so that every year our audit feels like a valuable part of our financial strategy rather than simply a statutory chore. Chris has always been approachable and helpful when we’ve required support on any financial matter pertaining to our accounts and their presentation. They represent top tier knowledge without the top tier bills

Bailey & Irvine Law Firm

We have worked with Clive Owen LLP for 10 years. I have found them to be an invaluable partner, helping us face the complex challenges of Academy accounts. They provide challenge and support to the board and explain complex accounts clearly, showing the trust’s underlying financial performance.
The team has extensive knowledge of the academic sector and brings a wealth of experience. The Academies Accounts Direction and the Academies Trust Handbook change annually. Clive Owen LLP adds value by running seminars to explain the changes and how to implement them. They also contribute to the Kreston Academy Benchmarking Report, which we find very useful.
They have a collaborative approach and are always available to answer queries or provide support.
