Client perspective
In their words
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.

The Brontë Society looks after the Brontë Parsonage, which was home to the Brontë sisters.
The museum houses the largest collection of Brontë material, including manuscripts and furniture that date back to the 1800’s.
The museum has thousands of visitors from across the globe each year and has been a valued client of Clive Owen LLP for over a decade, mainly working alongside charities expert, Chris Beaumont.
Rebecca, director at the society, ” As well as the things that have to happen like the accounts and the audit, it has been the additional support and advice given on an ad-hoc basis that has been valuable. We feel like we can come to Clive Owen LLP for open and honest advice, as a critical friend.”

“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”
TICA, Marion Marsland
As a fellow business in the professional services sector, we really valued Clive Owen LLP’s clear advice and proactive approach throughout the process.
Their support gave us the confidence to go for the Business Growth Fund grant funding and invest in a new, modern office, which will help to support our next phase of growth.
We felt supported and well guided from start to finish, and we wouldn’t hesitate to recommend Carl and the team.
