Sound familiar?
Year-end creeping up, paperwork still in a drawer?
Annual accounts have a way of feeling fine right up until they are not. The deadline arrives, the documents are scattered, and the accountant you emailed two weeks ago still has not replied. For limited companies and sole traders in Torquay, late filing penalties and last-minute scrambles are entirely avoidable — they just require the right set-up.
- Accounts deadline approaching with records still unreconciled and incomplete
- No clear idea what the Corporation Tax bill will be until it arrives
- Previous accountant slow to respond and filings left to the last minute
What a well-run year-end looks like
When the books are current throughout the year, the annual accounts are largely a formality. Daniel prepares statutory accounts, files with Companies House, submits the CT600 and explains the numbers — all without needing to chase you for information at the worst possible moment.
- Records reconciled monthly so year-end preparation takes days, not weeks
- Corporation Tax liability visible months before the payment deadline
- Deadlines monitored and filings submitted without last-minute pressure
- Fixed monthly fee — no surprise invoice when the year-end work lands
What Torquay clients say about their accounts
These are verbatim reviews from clients whose annual accounts, sole trader returns and year-end filings were handled by Daniel — on time, accurately and without unnecessary stress.
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.
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.
Everything the annual accounts process involves
Annual accounts preparation covers more than a single document. Here is what is included in a properly managed year-end for Torquay limited companies and sole traders.
Statutory Accounts Preparation
Your year-end accounts are prepared to the required format — full statutory accounts for limited companies filed at Companies House within the deadline. The numbers are drawn from your Xero records, which are kept current throughout the year, so there is no scramble to reconcile twelve months of transactions in one sitting.
Included as standardCorporation Tax Return and CT600
The Corporation Tax computation and CT600 are prepared alongside the accounts and filed with HMRC. Your tax liability is calculated accurately, with any available reliefs — capital allowances, allowable expenses — applied correctly. You will know the figure well before the payment deadline, not the week it falls due.
Included as standardProactive Tax Review at Year-End
Year-end is also the natural point to review how the business is structured, whether director salary and dividends remain optimal, and whether any planning opportunities have been missed. Rather than simply filing and moving on, Daniel flags anything worth considering before the window closes.
Included — no extra chargeConsistent results across different clients
Sole traders, limited company directors and self-employed professionals in Torquay and across Devon have trusted Daniel with their accounts. Here is a cross-section of what they found.
Every Detail Explained To Finalise 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.”
Saved Money On Tax Through Better Expense Knowledge
“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.”
Quick, Efficient and Friendly Financial Accounts
“Excellent service providing financial accounts for probate. Quick, efficient and friendly. Would highly recommend.”
What makes this different from the average accountant
Most small businesses in Torquay want the same things from their accountant: accurate work, a clear bill and someone who replies. Here is how that plays out in practice.
Twenty Years of Practical Experience
Daniel has worked in finance across airlines, construction, manufacturing and entertainment — sectors with very different accounting requirements. That breadth means he recognises the specific pressures your business faces before you have to explain them. You are getting two decades of applied knowledge, not a textbook approach.
Questions Answered the Day You Ask
DG Accountancy is built around responsiveness. If you send a question about your accounts, your tax position or a Companies House requirement, you will get a clear answer the same day — not a holding reply followed by silence. That matters most precisely when something time-sensitive comes up.
Cloud Records That Make Year-End Simple
Annual accounts are straightforward when the underlying bookkeeping is current. Using Xero throughout the year means your records are reconciled monthly, bank feeds are live and the year-end preparation does not involve hunting down twelve months of missing transactions. Most clients are onboarded within a week.
Up and running in four steps
From first contact to fully managed accounts, most Torquay clients are onboarded and their books in order within a week. Here is how it works.
Book a free discovery call
A short conversation about your business, your current set-up and what you need from an accountant. No sales pitch — just an honest discussion about whether this is the right fit. You will leave knowing exactly what happens next.
Receive your fixed-fee quote
A clear, written quote is sent after the call — tailored to your business structure and the services you need. Everything is agreed upfront, so there are no unexpected invoices when the year-end work lands.
Onboarding and cloud setup
Your Xero account is set up or tidied, bank feeds are connected and any outstanding records are brought up to date. Most clients are fully onboarded within a week, with very little required from you beyond sharing access.
Compliance handled, deadlines met
Your annual accounts, Corporation Tax return and Companies House filing are handled on schedule, every year. You will know your tax position well in advance and have an accountant who flags anything worth knowing — without waiting to be asked.
“Fantastic service provided. Thank you.”
Answers to what most people ask first
Do you prepare accounts for both limited companies and sole traders in Torquay?
Yes. Annual accounts are prepared for limited companies — including the statutory accounts, CT600 and Companies House filing — and for sole traders and partnerships, where the accounts inform the Self Assessment return. The process and the documents differ; the standard of accuracy does not.
What does annual accounts preparation cost, and what is included?
DG Accountancy charges fixed monthly fees rather than a single year-end invoice, so the cost is spread across the year rather than landing as one bill. Limited company packages start from £79 per month, with year-end accounts and Corporation Tax included as standard in every tier. A written quote is provided before anything is agreed — no surprises.
My books are in a mess and I have not filed for a year. Can you still help?
Yes, and this is not uncommon. The first step is a catch-up to bring the records to a usable state, which is quoted separately and agreed upfront. Once the backlog is cleared, the ongoing monthly arrangement keeps things current so the same situation does not repeat. HMRC late filing penalties can sometimes be appealed where there is a reasonable excuse — that is something Daniel can advise on.
Is there a minimum contract or long-term commitment?
There is no long-term contract. Services run on a monthly basis and you can leave at any point. If you decide DG Accountancy is not the right fit, your accounts are up to date, your filing obligations are met and there is nothing outstanding. You take your records with you.
What happens if my accountant currently holds my records and will not release them?
Professionally, your previous accountant is obliged to release your records and provide a professional clearance letter. Daniel handles the handover request directly, so you do not need to manage the back-and-forth yourself. In practice, this rarely causes significant delay.
Can tax planning actually reduce my bill at year-end, or is it too late by then?
It depends on timing. Some planning — such as pension contributions, capital allowances or restructuring expenses — needs to happen before the accounting year closes. Others can still be applied after. Year-end review is included as part of the accounts process, so opportunities are flagged before the window closes rather than noted retrospectively.
