Clive is structured, pragmatic and insightful. I engaged Clive to help me flesh out a complex financial model for a SaaS marketplace start-up. Working with Clive enabled me to challenge and validate my assumptions and to ensure my model made objective commercial sense. Clive brings considerable commercial experience, and I enjoyed his direct communication style and can-do attitude. I have no hesitation in recommending Clive to anyone looking for a straight-talking entrepreneurial finance professional.

Clive is an exceptional business development executive and strategist. If you need a business model developed, need to test and redesign your current model, expand and build a new business unit, enhance your business plan or build a new one, I could not recommend a more competent professional. Clive deep dives into your strategy, plays devil's advocate with your thinking, benchmarks your plan against market research and your targeted competition, suggests additions you may not have considered, and builds your business plan and financial models to a standard you would be proud to present to prospective investors, your board and shareholders.

Myself and my teams have had the privilege on a few occasions to work with Clive on some exciting and diverse internet-related projects. After every project I walk away with a wealth of knowledge due to Clive's wide scope of business and project management skills. Clive is great at structuring an operation and having a deep understanding of all the financial nuances on each project. It is refreshing to work with an ethical business mind that can dive into marketing, analytics and product innovation.

Clive is a hard working and diligent person with a sharp mind. He has guided me in running a team of 200 people. His input has been invaluable.
David Mashilo
He is one of the most detailed people I have ever come across, he is open to new ideas, and he adds great value to discussions and plans. I have consulted with large organisations and working with Clive Angel has been one of the best experiences I have had. As detailed and professional as he is, I think his best attribute is his humility.

During his three years of traineeship at Grant Thornton I worked with Clive on a number of assignments. His diligence and his attention to the work in hand were impressive. I enjoyed his commitment to the task and his desire to deliver the best, and found him to be a great team player.
Charlie Snell
He has a very clear mind for sorting the wheat from the chaff, and is focused on what he does. I was particularly impressed with some deals he negotiated with large portals owned by national newspapers, initiating agreements with multiple levels of incentive and commission.
