Land & Property Accountants

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

I would like to put on record how highly I rate the services of Clive Owen LLP. I have used Clive Owen as both my company and personal accountants since 2011 and have benefited enormously from the broad range of services that they offer.

On many occasions Clive Owen LLP has saved me money personally and for my businesses through efficiencies implemented and advice given on various tax issues, VAT, grant funding etc.

I believe the integrity, reliability, experience and knowledge are second to none in the North-East.

BPP Visual Ltd are specialists in visual management and corporate signage.

We have been using Clive Owen LLP for six years from the day we set up BPP Visual as a limited company and moved into our new premises in Sunderland.

Kevin Shotton and the team at Clive Owen LLP provide ongoing monthly support to our organisation. Their services range from processing our monthly transactions in Xero, processing our payroll and quarterly VAT returns to R&D submissions, annual tax returns and yearly financial reviews.

The effect on our business from having this level of support from the team at Clive Owen LLP monthly has completely transformed the way our company operates. It has saved us countless hours and significant pain trying to manage this process ourselves and I can’t recommend their support highly enough.

The added confidence this brings knowing that our business is under control and that every transaction is accounted for each month lets us concentrate on what we are good at.

An additional function that Clive Owen LLP also provides for us is expert financial reviews, annually.  This has helped us to understand not only how we have performed over the year but also provides the financial information we need to look at longer term planning from both a personal and business perspective.

If I could give any new start up business one line of advice, it would be to choose Clive Owen LLP to take care of their accounts and to provide advice on business finances. This will then give them the ability to concentrate on running the operational side of the business.

At Syselek, we develop innovative technology and toolchain solutions for transport decarbonisation and automation. We have been very fortunate to receive grant funding from Innovate UK. This has helped develop several of our innovative solutions.
One recent project was Fleet AI Recharging (“FAIR”). It explored new AI-based algorithms to accurately predict the energy consumption of electric HGVs. This enables live decisions about smart charging. These decisions help reduce operating costs and accelerate decarbonisation of the freight and logistics sector.
We began working with Clive Owen LLP two years ago. Since then, they have supported all our grant funding audit requirements. Their approach to the audit process is very smooth and intuitive. Their guidance has been easy to follow. Their quick responses to our questions have ensured our full compliance in all grant funding claims. This has enabled us to close out all our projects promptly.
We have been really impressed with the support from the grants team over these last two years. We are fully confident in their support going forward. We would certainly recommend Clive Owen’s grants team to anyone seeking Innovate UK grant funding audit services.
