Sound familiar?
Still not sure what your tax bill will be?
A lot of Barton sole traders and small company directors manage their own books until the year-end crunch arrives — and then spend a weekend trying to remember what happened in April. Or they have an accountant, but chasing a reply takes longer than the work itself. Neither situation is especially comfortable.
- Tax bill arrives as a surprise, with very little time to prepare
- Current accountant takes days to reply to a straightforward question
- Spending evenings on bookkeeping that should have been handled months ago
What sorted looks like
Compliance runs in the background. Your books are current, your deadlines are covered, and when something changes — a VAT threshold, a payroll query, a corporation tax question — you get a plain-English answer the same day.
- Tax liability visible months in advance, not the week the bill lands
- Questions answered the day you ask them, not chased across a week
- Bookkeeping handled monthly via Xero — nothing piling up at year end
- Fixed monthly fee agreed upfront, so there are no invoices to dread
What Barton clients say about working with Daniel
From sole traders filing their first return to directors managing multiple income streams, clients consistently highlight the same two things: speed and clarity.
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.
What a fixed monthly fee covers
Whether you are a sole trader or a limited company director, the package is built around what your business actually needs — not a list of extras you pay for separately.
Self Assessment and Year-End Accounts
Your personal and company tax returns are filed accurately and well before deadline. Daniel monitors your position throughout the year, so your liability is not a mystery until January. There are no last-minute scrambles and no penalties for missing dates.
Included as standardBookkeeping and VAT Returns
Monthly bookkeeping in Xero keeps your records current and MTD-compliant. VAT returns are prepared and submitted each quarter without you needing to think about it. If you are approaching the VAT threshold, you will know in good time — not after the fact.
Included from Operate tierPayroll, Advisory and Tax Planning
Full-service payroll including RTI and P11D is handled for directors and employees each month. Beyond compliance, Daniel flags tax planning opportunities proactively — legitimate ways to keep more of what you earn, without waiting to be asked. You work directly with Daniel throughout, not a rotating cast of juniors.
Available across all tiersClients across Devon, consistently satisfied
From first Self Assessments to ongoing company accounts, clients return year after year for the same reason: clear communication and work that is done properly.
Self-Employed Tax Made Manageable
“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!”
Better Advice, Lower Costs, Monthly Support
“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.”
Patient, Clear, and Easy to Follow
“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.”
Why local businesses in Barton choose Daniel
There is no shortage of accountants. The difference is whether yours actually picks up the phone, understands your industry, and tells you things before they become problems.
Twenty Years of Real-World Experience
Daniel has worked across airlines, construction, manufacturing and entertainment — sectors with very different financial pressures. That breadth means he recognises the challenges your business faces without needing a lengthy briefing. You get seasoned judgement, not a graduate working through a checklist.
Questions Answered the Day You Ask
DG Accountancy has built its reputation on being reachable. That means a real reply — not an auto-acknowledgement — to the questions you ask during the working day. If something changes in your business or a deadline is approaching, you will hear about it first.
Plain English, Every Time
Accounting is complicated enough without the correspondence being impenetrable. Daniel explains your numbers, your obligations and your options in language that is straightforward and actionable. You leave every conversation knowing exactly where you stand, which is, frankly, the way it should be.
Up and running in four straightforward steps
Most clients are fully onboarded within a week. The process is designed to be low-effort on your side from the start.
Book a free discovery call
You talk through your business, your current set-up and what you need. There is no sales pitch — just an honest conversation about whether DG Accountancy is the right fit. You leave the call with a clear picture of what happens next.
Receive your fixed-fee quote
A written quote is sent, tailored to your business structure and the services you need. Everything is agreed upfront. There are no hourly rates running in the background and no surprise invoices at year end.
Onboarding and cloud setup
Your Xero account is set up — or tidied if you already have one — bank feeds are connected and everything required is gathered. Most clients are fully onboarded within a week. You do considerably less than you might expect.
Compliance handled, advice on tap
Your returns are filed on time, your records are current and your tax position is visible throughout the year. When something comes up — a query, an opportunity, a change in your business — you ask and you get a straight answer. That is what the ongoing relationship looks like.
“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 getting started
I am based in Barton — do you need to meet in person, or does it all work online?
Everything is handled remotely via Xero, video calls and secure file sharing. There is no requirement to visit an office or hand over paperwork in person. Clients across Devon and the wider UK work this way without any practical inconvenience, and the turnaround is typically faster than a traditional high-street practice.
What does it cost, and what exactly is included?
Pricing is a fixed monthly fee, agreed in writing before anything starts. Limited company packages begin from £79 per month, and sole trader packages from £41 per month. Both carry a 50% discount for the first three months. The quote you receive is tailored to your structure and services — there are no hidden hourly rates or year-end surprises layered on top.
My books are a bit behind. Can you still take me on?
Catch-up bookkeeping is a routine part of onboarding for many new clients. The state of your records at the outset does not prevent you from getting started — it just affects the initial scope of work, which is reflected in the quote. Most clients arrive with books in some state of disarray and leave onboarding with considerably less to worry about.
Is there a minimum contract or a penalty if I want to leave?
There is no long-term contract and no exit penalty. If the arrangement is not working after three months, you can leave with your books in order and nothing owed. The objective is to be genuinely useful — not to hold clients in place contractually.
I already have an accountant. How straightforward is it to switch?
Switching is handled by DG Accountancy on your behalf. The process involves notifying your current accountant, requesting your records and completing a standard professional clearance procedure. Most clients find it takes less effort than they expected. You do not need to manage the handover yourself.
Will I know what my tax bill is likely to be before it is due?
Yes. One of the practical benefits of keeping records current throughout the year is that your tax position is visible at any point, not just in January. If your liability is building in a way that warrants action — adjusting payments on account, timing a purchase, restructuring director drawings — you will be told about it well in advance.
