UK grant audit services

FAI Farms works with leading global businesses, using science, technology, and data to create practical tools that improve on-farm results and sustainability in animal supply chains. We recently secured substantial UK grant funding for our FLOCKWISE project, focused on enhancing the health, welfare, and productivity of laying hens.
Clive Owen supported us with grant audit services, including an independent accountant’s report to access our FLOCKWISE funding. Eleanor Kay and Carl Wright guided us through the process, which was quick and seamless. Their expertise and collaborative approach ensured our grant claims were complete and compliant.
I highly recommend Clive Owen’s grant team to anyone needing UK grant audit services.

We were very pleased with the service provided by Eleanor at Clive Owen, who prepared an independent accountant’s report to support our grant funding claim. Eleanor expertly guided us through the process, making it very easy on our side. We would definitely consider working with Clive Owen again.

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.

“Since engaging with Clive Owen LLP, we have modernised. The accounts were very paper based, they have now been brought into electric format. They are more transparent and user friendly, this means we can get accurate information that we can forecast from”
