Sound familiar?
Still not sure what your tax bill will be?
For most small business owners in Paignton, tax sits somewhere between a nagging worry and an annual scramble. You know a deadline is coming, but the number at the end of it is always a surprise. Questions go unanswered for days, jargon fills the emails you do get, and you are never quite certain whether you are structured as efficiently as you could be.
- Self Assessment left until January, then rushed through in a panic
- No clear idea what your tax bill will be until it lands
- Previous accountant slow to reply or difficult to understand
What sorted looks like
Your tax position is visible all year, not just in January. Returns are filed well ahead of deadlines, and when you have a question it gets answered the day you ask it. Which is, frankly, the way it should be.
- Self Assessment prepared early and filed with time to spare
- Your tax liability calculated and explained well before the due date
- Questions answered the same day, in plain English
- Fixed monthly fee agreed upfront — no surprise invoices
What Paignton clients say about the tax work
Both sole traders and limited company directors come to DG Accountancy with messy tax situations. Most leave wondering why they waited.
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!

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.

Why Paignton businesses choose DG Accountancy
There is no shortage of accountants. What is rarer is one who already understands your industry, replies promptly and explains things without the jargon.
Twenty years of cross-sector experience
Daniel has worked in-house across airlines, construction, manufacturing and entertainment before bringing that experience to private practice. That breadth means he recognises the tax implications of most business structures before you have finished explaining yours. You get seasoned judgement, not a graduate learning on your time.
Questions answered the day you ask
DG Accountancy is known specifically for fast replies and clear communication. You will not find yourself chasing a response for three days over a straightforward tax question. During office hours, same-day replies are the norm rather than the exception.
Plain English, not accountant-speak
Tax is complicated enough without cryptic emails full of technical references you have to Google afterwards. Daniel explains your liability, your options and your obligations in language that actually makes sense — so you can make better decisions rather than just nodding along.

Things Paignton clients usually ask first
I have multiple income sources — employment, rental income and some freelance work. Can you handle all of that in one Self Assessment?
Yes. Self Assessment returns covering combined income from employment, self-employment, property and dividends are handled as standard. You do not need to separate it or pre-organise anything — bringing together the full picture of your income and making sure it is reported correctly is part of the work. The return is prepared and filed with time to review before the January deadline.
What does tax advice in Paignton cost with DG Accountancy?
Pricing is a fixed monthly fee agreed upfront based on your business structure and the services you need. Sole trader packages start from £41 per month, with a 50% discount for the first three months. Limited company packages start from £79 per month. There are no hourly rates and no surprise invoices — you know exactly what you are paying before anything starts.
My books are in a mess and I have not filed for a couple of years. Is that a problem?
Not an unusual situation, and not a reason to delay. Catch-up bookkeeping and late Self Assessments are scoped and priced before any work begins, so you know what it will cost to get up to date. Once the backlog is clear, the ongoing monthly service keeps things current so it does not happen again. Most clients who come in with outstanding returns leave considerably less stressed than when they arrived.
Am I tied in to a long contract?
No. There is no long-term lock-in. If DG Accountancy is not the right fit after the first few months, you can leave without penalty and your records will be handed over cleanly. The aim is to earn continued work by being useful, not to hold clients in place contractually.
Do you deal with HMRC directly on my behalf if there is an enquiry or investigation?
Yes. If HMRC opens an enquiry or sends correspondence that needs a response, that is handled directly. You will be kept informed in plain English at every stage rather than forwarded confusing HMRC letters to interpret yourself. Professional Indemnity Insurance with AXA XL is maintained to £250,000 coverage.
How far in advance will I know what my tax bill is going to be?
That depends on your package, but even at the entry level your tax position is reviewed annually with enough notice to plan. On the Operate tier and above, regular reviews and proactive tax planning mean you are not discovering your liability for the first time in January. The goal is that your tax bill is a figure you have seen coming, not a surprise.
