Client perspective
In their words

Charlotte Matthewson and Lucy Lawson said: “We chose Clive Owen as our group auditors after a thorough and competitive tender process.  A combination of experience, technical ability, personable team and value and influenced our decision.  Their local presence is also an advantage.

Having recently completed the first year audit, we are delighted with the Clive Owen team.  The timeliness of completion and their ability to grasp a new business with multiple acquisitions and group reorganisations in the year, and their pragmatic approach to the process, including the opening balance audit were excellent.  The process was a positive one.

James and his team are great to work with and we look forward to working with them going forward.”
