Client perspective
In their words
At Kasai UK, we greatly valued the support provided by Clive Owen LLP in securing a Business Growth Fund grant to help develop our solvent-free manufacturing process.
Their expert guidance and proactive management of the application played a key role in helping us access the funding needed to support our greener, more sustainable production ambitions.
As a business that is becoming increasingly climate-conscious, it was important for us to work with advisers who share similar values. Clive Owen’s commitment as climate champions meant they really understood both our commercial objectives and our environmental priorities, adding genuine value throughout the process.

“We have used Clive Owen LLP for the last 4 years and have used them across a range of services. Initially using them for transactional support and then more recently they have been our auditors and we have used them for our payroll services. The firm has worked very closely with us over the past 4 years as we have looked to grow the business.”

I have worked with Clive Owen LLP for over 7 years since I bought the business. The firm prepares our annual accounts and assists with our CLC audit and compliance work. They also provide ad hoc accountancy and audit support and advice as and when it is needed.
What I really value about the firm is that they have developed a thorough understanding of our business which supports our decision-making and helps us drive the business forward. Their accountancy and audit support are good at managing our expectations and always deliver to agreed timescales.
The team are professional, friendly, and very accommodating. Chris Beaumont is always available to support and provide proactive advice when we need it.
Their accountancy and audit support ensure we get great service from the team at Clive Owen LLP, and I would highly recommend their services.
