Clive Owen LLP, an independent accountancy and business advisory firm, has expanded its footprint further in the North with the opening of a new office in Newcastle.
The office, located at The Spire on Pilgrim Street in the city centre, is the firm’s fifth base, adding to its offices in Darlington, Durham, York, and Middlesbrough.
The Newcastle office will be led by tax partner Stephen Harris, who possesses more than 15 years of corporate tax experience and brings a “wealth of expertise” in working with owner-managed businesses and entrepreneurial clients.
Hariss has previously held significant roles at national firms and specialises in corporate tax restructuring, mergers and acquisitions, and tax reliefs.
His appointment follows the recruitment of Michael Cantwell in the summer, who also possesses vast experience working in the city and leads Clive Owen LLP’s burgeoning Corporate Finance division.
Harris said: “It’s exciting to be part of Clive Owen LLP’s next chapter as we expand into Newcastle. Having worked with a wide variety of clients over the years, I’m looking forward to helping more local businesses navigate the complexities of tax and business planning. Clive Owen LLP’s ethos of offering tailored, client-focused service is something I truly value, and I’m thrilled to lead this office.”
Gary Ellis, managing partner, added: “Opening in Newcastle is a natural progression for Clive Owen LLP. We’ve always been committed to growing organically, focusing on our independence and investing in the regions we serve to provide a personal and bespoke service to our clients.
“It is a very exciting time for the firm, and I am delighted to welcome Stephen, who brings a wealth of experience and expertise that will support our existing client base in the local area, our continued growth and ambitious plans for the future.”
