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.

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.

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.

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.
