Linked Accounting

Linked Accounting

Linked Accounting is an independent ICAEW-regulated firm of Chartered Accountants based in ground-floor offices at Milnwood House, North Parade, Horsham. A chartered accountant earns the protected title through demanding examinations set by the Institute of Chartered Accountants in England and Wales, yearly continuing professional development and strict adherence to an ethical code. Because every telephone call or walk-in enquiry is handled by one of these professionals, clients receive precise answers without having to repeat questions to a call-centre operative. The practice supplies reliable, compliant guidance to limited companies, partnerships, sole traders and private individuals who wish to keep their finances in order and their obligations met on time.

Support is available in person or online. Clients who live or work nearby often choose face-to-face meetings, whereas many owner-managers prefer a secure video call that fits around their diary. Appointments are recommended, as they reserve uninterrupted time with the right adviser and allow electronic or paper records to be reviewed beforehand. Even so, genuine walk-ins are greeted whenever space allows, and a quiet room can usually be found for short queries.

Location and access

Milnwood House is a red-brick Victorian property on the eastern side of North Parade (A281), about 400 metres north of Horsham town centre and eight minutes on foot from Horsham railway station. Typing the postcode RH12 2BT into any sat-nav brings drivers to the front door; on approach, watch for the distinctive bay windows and the clear nameplate that reads “Milnwood House”. Visitor parking is offered on a first-come, first-served basis and is labelled “Linked Accounting Visitor Parking”. Metrobus routes stop at “Albion Way/North Parade”, less than two minutes away on foot, and the forecourt contains metal stands for locking bicycles. A ramp on the south side grants wheelchair access to the main reception. Once a visitor signs in, reception staff notify the assigned accountant straight away, minimising waiting time.

Opening hours

The office opens Monday to Friday, 09:00–17:30. These hours mirror the core trading times of UK banks and HMRC helplines, which lets the team speak with authorities on the same day when required. The practice closes on Saturdays, Sundays and public holidays, enabling secure system maintenance without disturbing client files. A lockable letterbox to the right of the main door accepts documents out of hours; each item is logged the next working morning. Urgent matters can be raised through the website contact form, which triggers an alert to the duty accountant.

Appointment formats and facilities

• Secure video meetings on Microsoft Teams or Zoom for clients who prefer remote contact

On-site amenities include complimentary Wi-Fi for clients who need real-time access to bookkeeping software, a sanitised waiting area with free tea, coffee and chilled water, an accessible restroom and the visitor parking already described. Booking is easy: call the main number, click “Book Now” on the website or request a callback. The confirmation email sets out the agreed time, a live directions link and an optional checklist of documents to bring. Rescheduling is cost-free provided 24 hours’ notice is given, reflecting a flexible client-first approach.

Professional standards

Linked Accounting is listed on the ICAEW public register under Linked AP Limited. Membership brings mandatory professional indemnity insurance, periodic practice-assurance reviews and compliance with the ICAEW Code of Ethics, which emphasises integrity, objectivity, professional competence, confidentiality and professional behaviour. Partners and senior staff complete a minimum of 40 hours of continuing professional development every year to ensure advice keeps pace with UK GAAP, IFRS and the latest HMRC guidance. Any money held for clients rests in designated client accounts, separated from the firm’s own funds as regulations require. The practice is registered with the Information Commissioner’s Office, and its document-exchange portal uses two-factor authentication and encrypted storage.

Services

The firm prepares statutory accounts required under the Companies Act 2006, including a profit and loss account, balance sheet, supporting notes and directors’ report. Timely corporation tax, self-assessment and VAT returns help clients avoid penalties. Management reporting provides clear monthly or quarterly figures for monitoring profit margins, funding requirements and cash-flow trends. Clients also receive guidance on leading digital bookkeeping platforms, ensuring records are accurate and ready for Making Tax Digital submissions. Each new engagement starts with a complimentary, no-obligation consultation to define the scope of work and issue a transparent fee proposal, so costs remain clear from day one.

Community commitments

The practice takes part in Horsham district networking events and supplies voluntary accounting support to selected Sussex charities, demonstrating its commitment to the region. Plain-English explanations, regular newsletters and free budgeting templates demystify accountancy for small businesses and start-ups. Environmental responsibility ranks highly; workflows are paper-lite, electronic signatures are standard and shredded paper is recycled through certified partners. Internal service standards include acknowledging emails within one working day, issuing draft accounts within two to four weeks after records arrive and assigning every client a named manager for continuity.
