Sound familiar?
Still doing the books yourself on a Sunday evening?
A lot of Brixham business owners manage their own bookkeeping long after they should have handed it over — because finding an accountant who understands the local economy, gives a straight answer and does not charge unpredictable hourly rates feels harder than it should be. The result is late nights, missed deadlines and a vague sense that the tax bill might be larger than expected.
- No clear idea what this year’s tax bill will actually be
- Bookkeeping left until the year-end and then done in a panic
- Accountant slow to respond — or difficult to understand when they do

- Tax position visible months ahead — no last-minute shocks from HMRC

What Brixham and Devon clients say
Every review below is from a verified Google review. The themes — fast turnaround, clear communication and transparent fees — come up consistently.
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.
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.
Everything a Brixham business needs covered
From day-to-day bookkeeping to year-end accounts and tax planning, the fee covers the services your business actually needs — nothing padded in to inflate the price.
Books Clean, Tax Visible
Monthly bookkeeping in Xero keeps your records current and MTD-ready throughout the year. You can see your numbers at any point — not just when the accountant gets around to it. VAT returns are filed on time, and the threshold is monitored so nothing catches you off guard.
Included as standardSelf Assessment and Year-End Accounts
Personal tax returns, director returns, sole trader accounts and limited company year-end accounts are filed accurately and on time. You will know your tax liability well before the HMRC deadline, which makes cash flow planning considerably more straightforward. Corporation Tax returns and Companies House filings are handled without you needing to think about them.
Included as standardPayroll, Planning and Advisory
Full-service payroll including RTI submissions, CIS and P11D where relevant. Beyond compliance, proactive tax planning flags opportunities and risks before they become problems. If your business is growing and you need management accounts or cash flow forecasting, those are available too.

What makes the difference for Brixham clients
There is no shortage of accountants. The difference is whether yours picks up the phone, explains things clearly and spots the things you did not know to ask about.
Twenty Years Across Real Businesses
Daniel has worked in airlines, construction, manufacturing and entertainment — sectors that deal with seasonal cash flow, complex supply chains and awkward tax positions. That breadth means he recognises the challenges Brixham business owners face without needing a lengthy briefing. You get experienced judgement, not a textbook answer.
Questions Answered the Day You Ask
DG Accountancy is known specifically for fast replies. If you send a question on a Tuesday morning, you will have an answer on Tuesday — not after the weekend. For business owners making decisions in real time, that matters more than most accountants acknowledge.
No Jargon, No Cryptic Emails
Accounting has enough complexity without your accountant adding to it. Daniel explains your numbers, your obligations and your options in plain English. If something is going to cost you money or save you money, you will hear about it in language that makes the implication obvious.

Most new clients are fully onboarded within a week. The process is designed so that the effort on your side is close to minimal.

Compliance handled, growth supported
Your returns are filed, your books are current and your tax position is visible. When questions come up, they get answered the day you ask them. Which is, frankly, the way it should be.
“Fantastic service provided. Thank you.”
Things Brixham clients usually ask first
Do you work with hospitality businesses, trades and seasonal operators in Brixham?
Yes. Brixham has a strong mix of hospitality, fishing-related trade, construction and seasonal tourism businesses, and the compliance challenges that come with those — VAT on mixed supplies, seasonal cash flow, CIS for subbies — are familiar ground. You will not need to explain how your business model works before getting a useful answer.
What does it cost and what is included?
Pricing is a fixed monthly fee tailored to your business structure, turnover and the services you need. Limited company packages start from £79 per month; sole trader packages from £41 per month. Everything is agreed in writing upfront — no hourly rates, no surprise bills at year-end. The first three months are currently available at 50% off.
My books are a mess. Can you still take me on?
Yes, and it is not unusual. Most clients who switch accountants arrive with records in some state of disarray. A catch-up bookkeeping exercise gets everything reconciled to a clean starting point, and the cost of that is quoted separately and agreed before any work begins. Once you are current, the monthly process keeps you there.
Is there a minimum contract or a penalty for leaving?
No minimum contract and no exit penalty. If the arrangement is not working after a few months, you leave with clean, up-to-date books and nothing outstanding. The aim is to earn the relationship month by month, not to lock it in contractually.
Do you handle Making Tax Digital for Income Tax?
Yes. MTD for Income Tax is coming for sole traders and landlords, and the transition requires digital record-keeping from the outset. Xero handles the compliance side and filings are submitted through HMRC-compatible software. If you are not yet set up for MTD, onboarding covers it.
Can you tell me what my tax bill will be before the deadline?
Yes — and that is one of the more practical benefits of having current books throughout the year. Because the records are reconciled monthly, a tax liability estimate can be run at any point rather than waiting until after the year end. That makes it possible to set aside the right amount well in advance rather than finding out in January.
