Expert finance support so you can focus on running your business

Growing businesses need more than compliance. They need reliable systems, clear insight, and trusted finance leadership to support confident decision-making. We can act as a trusted advisor, combining practical delivery with strategic thinking to strengthen your finance function and free up leadership time.

About Our Consulting Services

We support growing businesses that want their finance function to work harder, with consulting services that go beyond fixing problems. We can help design finance functions that support growth, improve control, and deliver insight you can rely on. Whether you need better systems, clearer reporting, or senior finance leadership, we provide hands-on expertise tailored to your business.

What this means for you.

Less firefighting. Better decisions. More time to lead your business.

Our Approach

Every business is different, and so is every solution we deliver.

Our consulting services are bespoke by design, shaped around your objectives, your operating model, and your growth plans. We don’t offer off-the-shelf solutions. Instead, we work closely with you to design a finance function built for success, today and as your business evolves.

We align systems, processes, insight, and leadership to ensure improvements are practical, embedded, and deliver measurable outcomes.

We help you select, implement, and embed finance systems that deliver reliable data and scale with your business.

Our support can include

  • System appraisal and discovery assessments
  • Planning, development, and implementation
  • Systems testing and deployment support
  • Operational finance system implementation

This will give you access to reliable data, faster reporting, and systems that grow with your business.

How it works

Our case studies demonstrate how we have helped a range of entrepreneurs and owner managed businesses with differing development and growth challenges to achieve their business and financial goals, by delivering improved reporting accuracy and visibility, streamlining finance systems and processes and providing financial leadership and decision-making support.

Silcoates

Clive Owen LLP has been the ideal professional partner for the school for many years. Chris and his team are helpful, supportive and genuinely interested in our progress and success. With an extensive understanding of the education sector and its ongoing challenges, advice is pragmatic and clearly presented whilst projects are delivered in a timely and collaborative manner and within budget. I cannot recommend the team highly enough.

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.
