Sound familiar?
Bookkeeping that keeps getting pushed back.
Most small business owners in Upton do not set out to neglect their books. They just have a business to run. The problem is that irregular reconciliations, missing receipts and an inbox full of unlogged transactions have a way of compounding. By the time the VAT quarter arrives, you are spending a weekend on something that should take an hour.
- ✕ Bank feeds unreconciled for weeks, records permanently behind
- ✕ No clear picture of what you owe in tax until far too late
- ✕ Hours spent on bookkeeping that should be spent on the business

What clients say about the bookkeeping
From sole traders catching up on a year of records to limited companies moving to monthly cloud bookkeeping — a few views from people who have been through it.
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.
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.
What the monthly fee covers
Bookkeeping is the foundation. Everything else — VAT, payroll, Self Assessment, year-end — sits on top of clean, current records maintained month by month.
Monthly Cloud Bookkeeping
Your Xero account is reconciled every month: bank feeds connected, transactions categorised, records kept current. No year-end scramble, no weekends spent reconstructing three months of transactions.
Xero includedVAT Returns and MTD Compliance
Quarterly VAT returns prepared from your live Xero data and submitted on time, every time. Your VAT threshold is monitored so you are not caught out by an obligation you were not expecting.
Making Tax Digital readyTax Visibility and Year-End
Because the books are current, your Corporation Tax or Self Assessment liability is calculable throughout the year — not just when the deadline approaches. Year-end accounts and returns are filed accurately and on time.

What makes the difference for Upton businesses
There is no shortage of bookkeeping services. A few things that are worth knowing before you decide.
Twenty Years Across Real Industries
Daniel has worked across airlines, construction, manufacturing and entertainment — not just in practice. That means he already understands the bookkeeping challenges in your sector before you explain them. You get experienced judgement, not a junior running through a checklist.
Questions Answered the Day You Ask
DG Accountancy is built around responsiveness. If something lands in your inbox from HMRC, or you want to know your current tax position before making a decision, you get a plain-English answer the same day. Waiting three days for a simple question wastes more time than most people realise.
Everything Online, Nothing to Post
All bookkeeping runs through Xero, with bank feeds connected and records accessible in real time. There are no paper files, no drop-offs, and no waiting for someone to open a spreadsheet. For businesses in Upton, the service is fully remote — which means it works around your schedule, not the other way around.
Up and running in four steps.
Most clients are fully onboarded within a week. The process is straightforward and the initial call costs nothing.
Book a free discovery call
A short conversation about your business, your current bookkeeping set-up, and what you actually need. No sales pitch — just an honest look at whether it is a good fit.
Receive your fixed-fee quote
You will receive a clear, written quote tailored to your structure and the services you need. Everything is agreed upfront — no variable hourly rates and nothing added later without your say-so.
Xero set up and connected
Your Xero account is configured, bank feeds connected, and opening balances imported. If you have existing records that need tidying, that is handled as part of onboarding. Most clients are live within a week.
Books kept, questions answered
From that point, your records are reconciled every month without you having to think about it. Your tax position is visible, your deadlines are covered, and when something comes up you get a straight answer — which is, frankly, the way it should be.
“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!”
Things people usually ask first
Do you work with businesses in Upton, or is this just for Torquay centre?
DG Accountancy is a fully online practice, so location within Torquay or the wider Torbay area makes no practical difference. Everything is handled via Xero, secure file sharing and video calls. Clients across the UK use the same service — being in Upton, Paignton or Plymouth changes nothing about what you receive.
What does bookkeeping actually cost, and what is included?
Pricing is fixed monthly and agreed upfront — no hourly rates and no variable bills at year-end. Sole trader packages start from £41 per month; limited company packages from £79 per month, with a 50% discount for the first three months. Xero is included, and the exact scope — VAT, payroll, Self Assessment — is agreed before you sign anything.
My books are a mess. Is that a problem for getting started?
It is the most common starting point, not an exception. Catch-up bookkeeping is scoped separately and quoted upfront, so you know the cost before any work begins. Once the records are clean and current, the monthly service takes over. There is no judgement and no lecture — just a clear plan for getting things straight.
Is there a long-term contract I am locked into?
No. There is no long-term commitment. If the service is not working for you after three months, you leave with clean, exportable records and nothing further owed. The aim is to keep clients because the service is worth keeping, not because leaving is inconvenient.
Can you take over from my current bookkeeper or accountant?
Yes. Switching is handled as part of onboarding — professional clearance from your previous accountant is obtained, records and working files are requested, and everything is transferred across. The process is routine and you do not need to manage it yourself.
Will I know my tax bill before the deadline arrives?
Because the bookkeeping is kept current every month, your tax position can be calculated at any point during the year — not just in January or at year-end. You will not receive a surprise figure three weeks before a payment deadline. If your liability is building faster than expected, that gets flagged proactively.
Bookkeeping off your plate, starting this month.
Fixed monthly fee, Xero included, and an ACCA-qualified accountant who replies the same day. The first three months are half price. No long-term contract.
