About the practice

Founded in 1996, Horsham Accountancy Services Ltd has spent more than a quarter of a century supporting the commercial life of Horsham and the surrounding towns. From its first-floor office in Littlehaven House, just north of the town centre, the independent firm delivers clear, compliant and commercially sound accountancy, audit and tax solutions. Traditional face-to-face advice sits alongside modern cloud software, giving clients real-time control of their numbers while still providing personal guidance. Years of local trading have created a network of trusted professional contacts, so clients often secure introductions to lawyers, lenders and financial planners when extra help is needed. Whether a start-up preparing its first set of accounts or a mature enterprise looking to streamline reporting, Horsham Accountancy Services Ltd supplies proactive support that keeps businesses compliant and owners confident.

Services

Compliance

• Statutory accounts preparation, Companies House submissions and HMRC corporation tax returns. Accurate statutory accounts help directors meet legal duties and give lenders confidence when funding is sought.

Audit and assurance

• Statutory audits under the Companies Act and independent examinations for charities. A focused audit provides stakeholders with reassurance that figures are fairly stated and internal controls are working properly.

Tax advisory

• Self-assessment returns, VAT registration and quarterly submissions, inheritance and Capital Gains Tax planning. Timely, well-structured tax work helps taxpayers avoid penalties while retaining more of their income.

Payroll and Construction Industry Scheme (CIS)

• Weekly or monthly payroll bureau, auto-enrolment pensions administration and CIS contractor returns. Outsourcing payroll lowers administrative burden and protects staff from pay-day errors.

Business support

• Book-keeping, cloud-accounting set-up for Xero and QuickBooks, and management accounts preparation. Up-to-date books give owners a clear dashboard for everyday decisions.

Start-up services

• Company formation, business-plan financials and initial HMRC registrations. Early professional input lets new ventures focus on sales rather than paperwork.

Specialist sectors

• Not-for-profit entities, property landlords and professional service firms receive advice that recognises the specific compliance codes they face. Correct sector guidance reduces the risk of costly errors or missed reliefs.

Business rescue and restructuring support

• Cash-flow forecasting, creditor negotiation assistance and links to licensed insolvency practitioners when required. Practical, early intervention often preserves more value for owners and employees.

Digital Making Tax Digital readiness

• Review of existing record-keeping and migration to HMRC-approved digital platforms. Proper preparation avoids future filing failures and disruption.

Company secretarial

• Maintenance of statutory registers, minute-taking and confirmation statement filings. Robust secretarial work keeps boardrooms compliant without overloading directors’ diaries.

Visitor practicalities

Littlehaven House sits midway along Littlehaven Lane. On arrival, guests should walk through the glass-fronted reception, where “HAS” signage directs them to the lift and stairs. Three marked visitor bays, including one wheelchair-friendly space, sit immediately in front of the building; overflow parking is available at Littlehaven Station car park roughly three minutes’ walk away. Littlehaven rail station is only 0.2 mile from the office, offering Southern services to Horsham, Crawley and London. Metrobus routes 51 and 200 stop on nearby Crawley Road for a straightforward bus connection. The building provides step-free access from the car park to a lift-served reception and first-floor meeting rooms, an accessible WC, free guest Wi-Fi and complimentary hot drinks. Fire exits, extinguishers and evacuation routes comply with current regulations and are clearly marked in all common areas.

Professional credentials and compliance

The practice operates within the UK regulatory framework for accountants and statutory auditors. Professional indemnity insurance is maintained at the level required by the main UK accountancy bodies, protecting clients should the unexpected occur. Internal anti-money-laundering controls follow the Money Laundering Regulations 2017, and all client data is processed in line with the UK GDPR. Team members complete structured continuing professional development each year to ensure advice reflects the latest legislative changes, including evolving Making Tax Digital requirements. Audit assignments are handled only by appropriately qualified staff, and an engagement letter is issued for every piece of work, setting clear scope and responsibilities.

Geographic coverage and client types

Horsham Accountancy Services Ltd serves businesses and private clients across Horsham, Crawley, the Gatwick corridor and the wider West Sussex–Surrey border. Cloud-enabled systems also allow advisers to support organisations and individuals elsewhere in the UK without compromising responsiveness. Typical clients include owner-managed SMEs, sole traders, consultants, contractors, property landlords, charities and high-net-worth individuals seeking discreet, accurate compliance.

Payment and fee guidance

Invoices may be settled by bank transfer, Direct Debit, debit or credit card and, when arranged in advance, by cheque. Work can proceed under fixed-fee packages or hourly billing, depending on complexity and client preference. A written quotation is always supplied before any engagement starts, and the initial consultation is free of charge, giving prospective clients clarity before committing.

Languages and inclusivity

English is the primary language of service. If clients need written materials in large print or other accessible formats, advance notice allows the team to prepare them. During every meeting, advisers prioritise clear, jargon-free explanations to make UK tax and accounting rules understandable for all.
