Client perspective
In their words
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.

Carolyn Dent from Bishop Chadwick Education Trust said,
“We have used Clive Owen LLP since February 2016, when we were incorporated. They originally acted as both our external and internal auditors, and since the financial year 2020/21, they have acted solely as our external auditors.
They have also supported us with auditing services for teachers’ pensions and external grant assurance services.
Our organisation must comply with the Academy Trust Handbook, and the work we do with Clive Owen LLP enables us to achieve this requirement.
Through the audit process, our auditors help us improve performance and streamline our processes, ensuring compliance and allowing us to better support our schools. As our auditors, they highlight our strengths and provide guidance where we have areas for development.
I would recommend Clive Owen LLP. Their processes are thorough, robust, and timely. Our auditors are always helpful and supportive, and happy to answer any ad hoc queries throughout the year.

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.
