Sound familiar?
Still not sure what your tax bill is going to be?
For a lot of self-employed people and company directors in Shiphay, tax sits in a drawer until it becomes urgent. Deadlines creep up, the numbers are unclear, and the worry of getting it wrong quietly compounds. That is not a personal failing — it is what happens when accounting support is not in place.
- No idea what your tax bill will be until HMRC tells you
- Returns left until the last minute, filed in a rush or filed late
- Uncertain whether you are claiming all the expenses you are entitled to
What having it handled looks like
With the right accountant in place, your tax position is visible throughout the year, not just at filing time. Returns go in accurately and on time, and you stop leaving money on the table through missed allowances.
- Your tax liability is clear well before any deadline lands
- Returns filed on time, every time, with nothing left to chance
- Allowable expenses reviewed properly so you keep more of what you earn
- Fixed monthly fee — you know exactly what it costs before you start

What makes the difference in practice
Three things that separate a genuinely useful tax advisor from one who simply files returns.
Twenty Years Across Real Businesses
Daniel has worked in airlines, construction, manufacturing and entertainment — not just in practice. That breadth means he recognises the tax challenges facing different business types before you have to explain them. You get seasoned judgement, not textbook advice.
Questions Answered the Day You Ask
DG Accountancy is built around responsiveness. If you have a tax question on a Tuesday morning, you will have an answer by Tuesday. No chasing, no waiting a week for a reply that does not quite answer what you asked.
Plain English, Not Accountant-Speak
Tax is full of jargon that serves no one except the person using it. Daniel explains your position, your options and your obligations in language that makes sense. You will understand what you owe, why, and what you can do about it.
Up and running in four straightforward steps
Most new clients are fully onboarded within a week. The process is designed so that you do as little as possible to get started.
Book a free discovery call
A short conversation about your business, your current situation and what you need. No sales pitch — just an honest assessment of whether it is the right fit and what would be involved.
Receive your fixed-fee quote
You will get a clear, written quote based on your business structure and the services you need. Everything is agreed upfront, so there are no surprises when the invoice arrives.
Onboarding and cloud setup
Your Xero account is set up or tidied up, bank feeds are connected and any outstanding records are brought current. Most clients are fully onboarded within a week, with minimal effort on their part.
Tax handled, peace of mind follows
Returns go in on time, your tax position is visible throughout the year, and you have an accountant you can actually reach when something comes up. Which is, frankly, the way it should be.
“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.”
Things people usually ask before getting started
I am based in Shiphay — do you work with local businesses or is everything online?
DG Accountancy is based in Torquay, just down the road from Shiphay, and operates as a fully online practice. All services are delivered remotely via cloud accounting, video calls and secure file sharing. There is no need to travel or drop anything off — everything is handled digitally, which most clients find considerably more convenient.
What does a tax advisor actually cost, and what is included?
Pricing is a fixed monthly fee based on your business structure and the services you need. Sole trader packages start from £41 per month and limited company packages from £79 per month, with a 50 percent discount for the first three months. Self Assessment is included in most packages, and your quote will set out exactly what is covered before you commit to anything.
My books are a bit of a mess. Is that a problem before I can get started?
It is not unusual. Most new clients arrive with records in some state of disarray — missing receipts, unreconciled accounts or returns that are overdue. A catch-up bookkeeping exercise is carried out as part of onboarding and the cost is quoted upfront so there are no surprises. Once the backlog is cleared, everything runs on a proper footing going forward.
Am I locked in to a long-term contract?
No. There is no long-term contract. If after three months it is not working for you, you leave with clean books and nothing owed. The aim is to earn your continued business by being genuinely useful, not to hold you to a contract you cannot exit.
Can you help with tax planning, or is it just compliance filing?
Both. Compliance — filing returns accurately and on time — is the foundation. But depending on your package, the service also includes an annual or quarterly tax review to identify planning opportunities before the window closes. That might mean timing income differently, ensuring all allowable expenses are claimed, or reviewing your business structure. It is covered in the same fixed fee, not billed separately.
How far in advance will I know what my tax bill is going to be?
For most clients, the tax position becomes clear several months before the filing deadline rather than in the week before it falls due. That means you have time to set funds aside, adjust your plans if needed, or take advice on reducing the liability before it crystallises. No last-minute scramble.
Less guessing about your tax bill. More certainty.
