The practice operates in the category “Accountant”, providing accountancy and tax services to the public. Trading and registered address: 25 Fenhurst Close, Horsham, RH12 1UX, United Kingdom.

The Companies House registration number will be added once issued, allowing readers to verify the firm’s legal status.

A precise map pin, driving directions and pedestrian guidance appear later in this listing to help visitors locate the doorway. The company keeps its statutory records at the registered office.

Location and Access Details

Fenhurst Close is a quiet residential cul-de-sac about one mile north-west of Horsham town centre and just south of the A264 bypass. The street is lined with two-storey brick houses, small front gardens and minimal traffic, so it stays calm during working hours. Local bus routes 23 and 200 stop on Crawley Road; from there, the walk to number 25 is roughly five minutes on paved footpaths. Horsham rail station is 1.2 miles away with direct trains to London Victoria, London Bridge, Gatwick Airport, Brighton and Portsmouth.

Drivers will find on-street bays on both sides of Fenhurst Close with no permits or time limits at present, though visitors should check for any updated restrictions. The firm will confirm shortly if a marked visitor bay is available. Verified walking directions from Horsham station will list landmarks such as the Albion Way footbridge and the turning into Guildford Road.

Accessibility details are still being gathered. Confirmation of any threshold step, handrail, ramp, door width and step-free route will be issued after measurements are taken. If the bell is unanswered, ring the main office number so a member of staff can come to the door. Signage is discreet: look for a small brass plaque reading “Acacia Accounting Bureau Limited” fixed to the brickwork beside a white front door.

Appointment Times and Operating Hours

The practice is operating on an appointment-only basis until a formal timetable is published. Meetings can be arranged Monday to Friday, usually between 08:30 and 17:30. During peak periods, especially the January self-assessment deadline and the March and April year-end window, early-evening or Saturday-morning slots may be offered subject to staff availability. The office observes all major UK public holidays and will post closure dates each year. Clients are asked to book one to two working days ahead for routine matters and give extra notice for complex work such as statutory accounts sign-off or inheritance-tax planning.

Payment and Invoicing Information

Accepted payment methods: bank transfer (BACS), debit or credit card, monthly Direct Debit and, by prior arrangement, cheque. Standard terms call for settlement within 14 days of invoice date. Early-payment incentives may apply, for example a 2 percent discount if cleared funds arrive within seven days. Fixed-fee agreements are usually collected monthly in advance by Direct Debit, while ad-hoc consultancy is billed in arrears at month-end. The practice uses GoCardless for automated collections. Each engagement letter sets out the fee schedule, escalation pathway and dispute-resolution process, all compliant with the Late Payment of Commercial Debts Regulations 2013.

Seasonal and Emergency Arrangements

January is the busiest month for self-assessment filing, so the office will extend telephone support until 19:00 and open selected Saturdays from 09:00 to 12:00. Similar cover is planned for March and early April to handle year-end peaks. Christmas closure runs from 24 December to 2 January inclusive, with reopening at 09:00 on the first working day of the new year.

For urgent matters such as HMRC deadline letters, an emergency mailbox, urgent@acacia.ltd.uk, is monitored daily even during closures. A dedicated mobile line will be issued to clients with time-critical needs. Disaster-recovery measures include off-site encrypted backups and cloud-hosted accounting systems, enabling staff to work remotely if the Horsham office becomes unavailable. The target is to restore normal service within 24 hours of any local disruption. Any temporary change to opening hours will be publicised at least 14 days in advance.
