About Larking Gowen
Larking Gowen traces its origins to 1888 when Charles Larking purchased a small Norwich accountancy practice. The firm expanded through family generations and merged with Harman & Gowen in 1969 to take its current name. Today it operates from five offices — Norwich, Ipswich, Colchester, Diss and Fakenham — employing more than 380 people and ranking among the top-40 UK accountancy firms by fee income. Larking Gowen's service range covers audit, corporate finance, business outsourcing, insolvency and recovery, personal tax, trusts and probate, and financial planning. The firm has particular depth in medical accounting — its specialist healthcare team, the largest in East Anglia, advises over 600 GP partners across 130 practices — alongside strong expertise in charities, agricultural businesses and professional services firms. The firm is regulated by the ICAEW for audit, investment business and probate, and is an independent member of PrimeGlobal, a worldwide association of advisory firms with over 300 member practices. Long-term relationships, often spanning multiple generations, are a defining characteristic of the firm's culture.
