Sound familiar?
Books piling up while your business keeps moving.
Most Torbay business owners start out managing their own records and end up months behind with a spreadsheet that no longer matches the bank. HMRC deadlines have a way of arriving before the books are ready. The further behind you fall, the bigger the catch-up job — and the harder it is to know what you actually owe.
- Months of receipts still to categorise before year-end
- No clear picture of what your tax bill will be
- Hours lost reconciling bank transactions you barely recognise
What up-to-date looks like
Your books are reconciled monthly in Xero, bank feeds connected from day one. You can see where you stand at any point in the year — and there are no year-end surprises because nothing has been left to accumulate.
- Receipts categorised and records reconciled every month without chasing
- Tax position updated throughout the year so your bill is never a shock
- Bank feeds automated so reconciliation happens without you touching a spreadsheet
- Fixed monthly fee agreed upfront — you know exactly what you are paying
What Torbay clients say about the books
From sole traders doing their first return to growing limited companies, the feedback tends to focus on the same things: clarity, speed and not being left guessing.
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.
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!
Bookkeeping that actually keeps pace
Every package includes Xero setup, monthly reconciliation and MTD-ready records. The fee is fixed and agreed before anything starts.
Monthly Cloud Bookkeeping
Your Xero account is kept up to date every month — bank feeds connected, transactions categorised, reconciliations done. Nothing queues up waiting for year-end. You can log in at any point and see where the numbers stand.
Included as standardVAT and MTD Compliance
Quarterly VAT returns are prepared from your live Xero data and filed directly with HMRC under Making Tax Digital. Your VAT threshold is monitored throughout the year — you will not cross it without knowing. Registrations and scheme changes are handled when the time comes.
Available as add-on or includedYear-End and Tax Visibility
Because the books are current, year-end accounts take days rather than weeks. Your Corporation Tax or Self Assessment position is visible well before the deadline, which means there is time to plan rather than just pay. No scramble, no unexpected bills.
Included in all limited company packagesConsistent results across different clients
From sole traders to limited company directors, the pattern is the same: clear communication, fast turnaround, and none of the chasing you might be used to.
Turned Around Fast Without Cutting Corners
“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.”
Every Detail Explained Before Finalising Accounts
“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.”
Quick, Efficient and Friendly Throughout
“Excellent service providing financial accounts for probate. Quick, efficient and friendly. Would highly recommend.”
Why Torbay businesses switch to DG Accountancy
There are plenty of accountants in Devon. The ones clients actually stay with tend to answer quickly, explain things plainly and keep the books moving.
Books that never fall behind
Monthly bookkeeping in Xero means your records are current at all times, not patched together before each deadline. Bank feeds are automated from the start so categorisation happens continuously rather than in one panicked session. Surprises are largely avoidable when the books are current.
Questions answered the day you ask
DG Accountancy is known for fast replies. You will not wait three days to find out whether a purchase is deductible or whether you need to register for VAT. That speed matters most when a decision depends on knowing the answer now.
Twenty years across real industries
Daniel has worked across airlines, construction, manufacturing and entertainment — which means he has seen how businesses in diverse sectors actually operate, not just how their numbers look on paper. You will not spend the first meeting explaining how your business works before getting a useful answer.
Up and running in four steps
Most new clients are fully onboarded within a week. The process is straightforward and the setup work falls almost entirely on our side.

Xero setup and onboarding
Your Xero account is set up (or tidied up if you already have one), bank feeds are connected and opening balances are confirmed. Most clients are fully onboarded within a week. You do very little.
Compliance handled, focus restored
Your books are reconciled monthly, your VAT and payroll deadlines are met without you managing them, and your year-end arrives with nothing outstanding. You know where you stand financially at any point in the year — which is, frankly, the way it should be.
“Professional service. This company does my accounts every year and i never have to worry about it. Speedy as well. I am a very happy customer.”
Things people usually ask before starting
Do you work with businesses in Torbay specifically, or only further afield?
DG Accountancy is based in Torquay, which sits at the heart of Torbay, and serves clients across the bay including Paignton and Brixham as well as the wider Devon region and the rest of the UK. All services are delivered online via Xero, video calls and secure file sharing — so proximity does not change what you get.
What does bookkeeping actually cost, and what does the fee include?
Sole trader bookkeeping packages start from £41 per month, with limited company packages from £79 per month. The fee is fixed and agreed before anything starts — it covers monthly reconciliations in Xero, bank feed setup and MTD-ready records. VAT filing is available as an add-on or included in higher-tier packages. There are no hourly rates and no charges that appear without warning.
My books are a bit of a mess. Is catch-up bookkeeping something you handle?
Yes, catch-up work is a common starting point. The first step is a conversation about how far behind the records are and what state the bank feeds and receipts are in. A catch-up fee is quoted separately and agreed before work begins, so there are no surprises. Once the backlog is cleared, ongoing monthly bookkeeping keeps things current going forward.
Is there a long-term contract or minimum commitment?
No long-term contract. Monthly rolling agreements mean you are not locked in. If DG Accountancy is not the right fit after the first few months, you leave with clean, up-to-date books and nothing owed. Annual packages are available at a discount for clients who prefer them, but they are not a requirement.
Do you use Xero, and do I need to know how to use it myself?
All bookkeeping is done in Xero. You do not need to know how to use it before starting — setup and bank feed connections are handled during onboarding. If you want to log in and check the numbers, Daniel will show you how. If you would rather just receive a summary, that works too.
Will I know what my tax bill is likely to be before the end of the year?
Yes — that is one of the practical benefits of keeping the books current. Because the records are reconciled monthly rather than annually, your tax position is visible throughout the year rather than only after the year-end crunch. Higher-tier packages include quarterly tax reviews and management accounts for additional visibility.
Get the books off your plate, for good.
