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.
As leaders in their field, Chris Beaumont and his team are proactive and genuinely invested in our success. They deliver on time and within budget. The peace of mind this gives us means I would definitely recommend them.”

Richmond Fire Engineers LTD

Richmond Fire Engineers design, install and maintain automatic sprinkler systems throughout the UK.

We have been using Kevin Shotton and the team at Clive Owen LLP for over five years now and would not consider using any other accounting firm.

As well as helping with our quarterly and year end accounts, Clive Owen LLP are always at the end of the phone to offer help with our business queries.

Kevin and the team supported our recent management buyout (MBO) which made sure this challenging  process ran very smoothly.

I would recommend Kevin and the team at Clive Owen LLP to anyone who wants an all-round accountancy and business advisory firm to look after them individually and work with them to support their growing business needs.

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.

ADM Pressings is a Newcastle-based manufacturer that specialises in metal pressings, production, fabrication, assembly, painting and customised turnkey solutions.

Following an introduction by Joe Routledge, Membership Manager of the North East Automotive Alliance, Grants Partner Carl Wright and the wider Grants team worked to a tight schedule to secure six-figure grant funding for new equipment.

Jonathan Hunter, Commercial Engineer at ADM Pressings, said:
Carl was very helpful at short notice for a bid writing assignment for a grant to fund new capital equipment for our site. He and his team quickly understood our needs and guided us through the process, providing easy to understand updates and insight along the way.  Always professional and efficient, this ensured a positive outcome, meaning we were successful in securing the grant and could achieve our project timeline.

I would have no hesitation reaching out to the Clive Owen LLP team again should similar services be required.
