Sound familiar?
Books behind and year-end creeping closer.
It starts with a few weeks of unreconciled transactions, then a month, then three. By the time you sit down to sort it, the job feels enormous. You cannot see what you actually owe in tax, whether you are approaching the VAT threshold, or whether last month was genuinely profitable. Bookkeeping done irregularly is not really bookkeeping — it is just delayed paperwork.
- Records months behind, with no clear view of the current tax position
- Bank reconciliation left until year-end, turning a routine job into a big one
- No idea whether turnover is drifting toward the VAT registration threshold
What sorted looks like
Monthly bookkeeping in Xero means your numbers are always current, your bank is reconciled, and your tax position is visible throughout the year. It is considerably less to think about.
- Books reconciled monthly — your tax position is visible at any point
- Bank feeds connected and reconciled as you go, not in one annual panic
- Turnover tracked against the VAT threshold, so nothing catches you off guard
- Fixed monthly fee agreed upfront — no hourly rates or surprise invoices
What Paignton businesses say about the books
From sole traders catching up on months of backlog to limited companies wanting clean monthly records, the pattern is the same — less to worry about.
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 keeps pace with your business
Three core components make up the bookkeeping service — clean records, VAT visibility, and the ongoing support to understand what your numbers are telling you.
Monthly Cloud Bookkeeping in Xero
Transactions categorised, bank feeds reconciled, and records kept current every month. You can log in at any point and see exactly where things stand — no waiting for year-end to find out.
Included as standardVAT Compliance and MTD Readiness
Your VAT position is monitored throughout the year, and quarterly returns are prepared and filed on time. Making Tax Digital obligations are handled from the start, so there is nothing to retrofit later.
MTD-compliantPlain-English Support When You Need It

What makes the bookkeeping service worth switching for
There are plenty of bookkeepers. These are the specific reasons clients in Paignton choose to work with Daniel.
Twenty Years Across Real Businesses
Daniel has kept books for airlines, construction firms, manufacturers and entertainment companies. That breadth means he already understands the transaction patterns and expense categories specific to your industry — you will not spend the first three months explaining how your business works.
Questions Answered the Same Day
Most bookkeeping queries are small — a transaction you are unsure about, a supplier invoice that looks odd. Those questions should take minutes to resolve, not days. Clients consistently mention response speed as the thing that sets DG Accountancy apart from their previous accountant.
Xero-Based and Fully Online
Everything runs through Xero, with bank feeds connected and automated where possible. No emailing spreadsheets, no posting receipts. You get a live view of your books at any time, from anywhere, and the annual accounts flow directly from records that are already clean.
Up and running in four straightforward steps.
Most clients in Paignton are fully onboarded within a week. The setup is handled for you — you provide access, Daniel does the rest.

Books current, head clear
From month one, your records are maintained and reconciled on schedule. You know your tax position, your VAT is being tracked, and when a question comes up you get a straight answer the same day. 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.”
The things most Paignton clients ask first
Do you actually do the bookkeeping, or just review what I send over?
DG Accountancy does the bookkeeping for you. Bank feeds are connected to Xero, transactions are categorised, and the accounts are reconciled monthly. You do not need to prepare anything other than giving access to the relevant accounts and flagging any unusual items when asked.
What does the monthly bookkeeping fee include, and how is it priced?
Pricing is a fixed monthly fee based on your business structure and transaction volume — there are no hourly rates and no unexpected invoices. The fee is agreed in writing before anything starts. For sole traders, packages start from £41 per month. Limited company packages start from £79 per month. A free quote tailored to your specific set-up takes about ten minutes to put together.
My books are months behind. Is that a problem when switching?
It is common. Most new clients arrive with books that are partially complete or significantly behind. Catch-up bookkeeping is scoped and priced as a separate piece of work before anything begins, so you know exactly what it will cost to get up to date. Once the backlog is cleared, the monthly service runs from there.
Am I tied into a long-term contract?
No. There is no long-term lock-in. If the arrangement is not working after the first three months, you can leave with clean, up-to-date books and nothing outstanding. The aim is that you stay because the service is worth it — not because the contract makes leaving awkward.
What happens when I approach the VAT registration threshold?
Because your turnover is tracked monthly through Xero, the VAT threshold is monitored as a matter of course. You will not wake up to a registration obligation you were unaware of. If your figures suggest you are approaching £90,000, that conversation happens well in advance — with enough time to plan rather than react.
Will I be able to see my books myself, or does everything go through you?
You have full access to your Xero account at all times. You can log in, run a profit and loss report, check your bank balance, or review any transaction whenever you want to. The bookkeeping service keeps those records current and accurate — what you see is always a live, reliable picture of where things stand.
Leave the backlog behind. Start fresh.
Fixed monthly bookkeeping in Xero, MTD-ready records, and a straight answer whenever you need one. Transparent pricing, no lock-in, ACCA-qualified.
