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.

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.

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.”

“Clive Owen provided fantastic support in helping us secure funding through the Durham Business Growth Programme, which enabled us to relocate to larger premises and bring two sites together into a single, centralised facility.

Their advice and guidance throughout the process made the application straightforward and gave us the confidence we needed to move forward. Securing this funding has allowed us to strengthen our operations and create a solid platform for future growth.”

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.
