Sound familiar?
Not entirely sure where your books or tax bill stand?
Most business owners in Torquay and across Devon reach a point where the books are weeks — or months — behind, and the tax position is largely a guess. The longer it sits, the harder it becomes to unpick, and the more likely it is that something slips through. A missed VAT registration threshold, a self assessment filed late, a payroll error that quietly costs more than it should.
- Books that are months behind and no clear picture of what you owe
- Tax bills arriving with little warning because nobody flagged the numbers earlier
- An accountant who takes weeks to reply, if they reply at all
What sorted looks like
When your accounting is running properly, you know your numbers, your obligations are handled before the deadlines, and your accountant is someone you can actually reach. It does not need to be complicated — it just needs to be consistent.
- Your books are current, so your tax position is visible at any point
- VAT, payroll and self assessment filed accurately and on time, every time
- Questions answered the day you ask — not after several follow-up emails
- A fixed monthly fee so the cost is predictable alongside everything else
What clients say about working with us
Every review below is published on Google. Nothing has been edited or selected for flattery — these are the situations clients found themselves in and what happened.
I worked with Daniel at DG Accountancy to review and sign off my sole trader accounts for a time-sensitive mortgage application, and the service was excellent. Daniel was extremely responsive, clear, and professional throughout. He understood exactly what the lender required, turned everything around very quickly without cutting corners. Communication was straightforward and reassuring, which made a potentially stressful part of the mortgage process much easier. Fees were transparent, turnaround was fast, and the work was done thoroughly and accurately. I wouldn’t hesitate to recommend Daniel to anyone needing reliable accountancy support, particularly where deadlines really matter.
Absolutely recommend Daniel for all and any accounts related matter. Would use his expertise again. He is the most amazing person, very professional, explaining every detail meticulously in order to finalise our accounts. A huge thank you Daniel.

Better Books, Genuine Tax Savings
“Daniel was very helpful with my books and tax return. He offered great advise and insight in how to manage my books better and more efficiently. His knowledge in tax law and what can be used for expenses really helped with saving money where I could. As a sole trader it’s really hard to keep on top of things and have now asked Dan to do monthly books for me. His rates are extremely good compared to some other accountants out there and I get more for my money.”
Clear Guidance for the Uncertain
“Daniel was very helpful and patient with me when I had no clue what to do and spoke through everything with me and made it clear, couldn’t recommend him enough, thank you again.”
Self-Employed Tax Handled Efficiently
“Huge thanks to Daniel for helping ourselves with our taxes! Being self employed means we all have to do this ourselves which is just not possible on top of our work load. Thanks again! We will be using you again!”
What makes the difference in practice
There are plenty of accountants in Torquay and beyond. Here is what clients consistently tell us matters most once they are actually working with us.
Questions answered the day you ask
Waiting days for a reply to a straightforward question is one of the most common complaints about accountants. At DG Accountancy, you deal directly with Daniel — and queries are answered promptly, in plain English, without the back-and-forth that wastes your time.
Twenty years across diverse industries
Daniel has worked in airlines, construction, manufacturing and entertainment before founding DG Accountancy. That breadth means he understands the real financial pressures different businesses face — not just the compliance requirements, but the decisions behind the numbers.
Fixed fees, nothing hidden
Every quote is written down and agreed before any work starts. The monthly fee does not change unless your services do. No hourly rates appearing on an invoice you were not expecting, and no ambiguity about what is included in your package.
