Sound familiar?
Still not sure what your tax bill will be?
A lot of Babbacombe business owners reach the end of the tax year with very little idea of what they owe. Records are incomplete, receipts are somewhere, and the HMRC deadline is closer than it looks. It is not a crisis — but it is the kind of thing that compounds quietly until it becomes one.
- No clear picture of your tax liability until it is too late to plan
- Expenses going unclaimed because you are not sure what qualifies
- HMRC deadlines looming with no accountant keeping track
What having it sorted looks like
When your tax position is managed through the year rather than scrambled at the end, the numbers stop being a source of anxiety. You know what you owe, when you owe it, and what you can legitimately reduce it by.
- Your tax liability is visible and updated — no end-of-year guesswork
- Allowable expenses are identified and claimed so nothing is left on the table
- Deadlines are tracked and filed on time — nothing drops through the gaps
- All of this on a fixed monthly fee, agreed upfront before work begins

Tax services for Babbacombe businesses
Whether you are a sole trader filing your first Self Assessment or a limited company director looking for proactive tax planning, the service is built around your business structure — not a generic checklist.
Self Assessment Tax Returns
Your personal or director’s tax return is prepared accurately and filed well before the January deadline. You will know your liability in advance — not the day HMRC sends the reminder. Any allowable deductions are identified before the return is submitted, not after.
Included as standardTax Planning and Advisory
Rather than filing what happened and moving on, DG Accountancy reviews your structure, income and outgoings to flag where tax can legitimately be reduced. This might be salary and dividend splits, pension contributions or timing of expenditure — whichever applies to your situation. You get a practical recommendation, not a theoretical one.
Proactive and ongoingYear-End Accounts and Corporation Tax
Statutory accounts and CT600 returns are prepared and filed for limited companies, with Companies House filings handled at the same time. Your corporation tax bill is calculated accurately, with payment deadlines flagged well in advance. No last-minute scrambles, no penalty notices.

What makes working with Daniel different
There is no shortage of accountants. Here is why business owners in Babbacombe and across Torbay choose this one.
Twenty Years Across Real Industries
Daniel has worked in airlines, construction, manufacturing and entertainment — not just in practice. That breadth means he recognises the financial patterns in your business before you have finished explaining them. You get advice shaped by what actually happens in businesses like yours, not what the textbook says should happen.
Questions Answered the Day You Ask
DG Accountancy’s reputation is built on responsiveness. When something changes in your business or a tax question comes up, you get a clear answer the same day — not a holding email and a wait. For business owners who have been left chasing their previous accountant, the difference is immediately noticeable.
Plain English, Every Time
Tax is complex enough without cryptic correspondence. Daniel explains your position, your options and any obligations in language that makes sense to a business owner, not just a chartered accountant. You leave every conversation knowing where you stand — which is, frankly, the way it should be.
Up and running in four straightforward steps
Most new clients are fully onboarded within a week. The process is designed to take as little of your time as possible.
Book a free discovery call

“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.”
Things people usually ask before getting started
I am self-employed in Babbacombe — can you handle my Self Assessment even if my records are a mess?
Yes, and it is not an unusual starting point. Many self-employed clients arrive with incomplete records, a rough idea of their income, and a drawer of receipts they have been meaning to sort out. A catch-up bookkeeping exercise is costed separately and agreed upfront before any work begins. Once the records are in order, the return is filed accurately and on time.
What does tax advice actually cost, and what is included in the monthly fee?
Fees are fixed monthly amounts tailored to your business structure and the services you need. Sole trader packages start from £41 per month; limited company packages from £79 per month. Everything is written down and agreed before work begins — no hourly rates, no surprise invoices at year-end. A 50% discount applies for the first three months on most packages.
I have not had an accountant for a couple of years and my books are behind. Is that a problem?
It is fairly common and entirely manageable. A catch-up exercise gets your records current and your previous returns assessed. The cost of that catch-up is agreed upfront before anything is touched. Once it is sorted, the ongoing monthly service keeps things current going forward.
Am I tied in for a minimum term?
No. There is no long-term contract. If after three months you feel it is not the right fit, you leave with tidy records and nothing further owed. That said, most clients find the combination of responsiveness and fixed pricing fairly straightforward to stay with.
Do you advise on reducing my tax bill, or just file what has already happened?
Both — but the more useful part is the former. Reviewing your salary and dividend split, pension contributions, allowable expenses and business structure through the year gives you options before the tax year closes. Filing accurately once the year is done is straightforward; flagging opportunities before the year ends is where the real value sits.
How far in advance will I know what my tax bill is?
With current books and a proactive review, your estimated liability is visible throughout the year — not just when the return is due. For limited company directors this typically means knowing your corporation tax position quarterly. For sole traders with ongoing bookkeeping, an estimate is available at any point you ask.
Less guessing about tax. More running your business.
DG Accountancy handles your tax returns, deadlines and planning on a fixed monthly fee — so you know where you stand every month and nothing falls through the gaps.
