Sound familiar?
Still waiting to hear back from your accountant?
A lot of London businesses are paying city-centre rates for a service that feels like a black box. You send documents, hear nothing for days, and get a tax bill that lands without warning. The compliance gets filed — eventually — but the advice rarely arrives when it would actually be useful.
- Days waiting for a reply to a straightforward tax question
- No idea what your Corporation Tax bill will be until HMRC tells you
- Paying a premium for an accountant who treats you as a file, not a client

- You work directly with Daniel — no juniors, no handoffs, no repeating yourself
- Fixed monthly fee agreed upfront — no surprises, no hourly billing
What London clients say after switching
These are verbatim reviews from clients who wanted responsive, professional accounting without the complexity. The themes that come up every time: speed, clarity, and fees that make sense.
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.
Everything your London business actually needs
From day-to-day bookkeeping to year-end accounts and proactive tax planning — all delivered online, all on a fixed monthly fee, all handled personally by Daniel.
Compliance That Runs Itself
VAT returns, payroll, year-end accounts, Corporation Tax, Self Assessment and Companies House filings — all handled accurately and on schedule. Your deadlines are tracked so you are never the one chasing. HMRC correspondence gets dealt with before it becomes a problem.
Included as standardTax Position Visible Year-Round
Know roughly what your tax bill will be long before it is due. Quarterly or monthly management accounts give you a real-time picture of profit, cash and liabilities. Proactive tax planning means opportunities are flagged when they are still actionable, not after the year has closed.
Available from Operate tierCloud Bookkeeping in Xero
Your books are kept current in Xero every month — bank feeds connected, receipts matched, VAT coded correctly. No shoeboxes, no year-end backlog, no explaining your chart of accounts from scratch. MTD-ready as standard.
Xero Bronze PartnerA consistent pattern across every review
Eight verified reviews, five stars across the board. Clients range from sole traders to limited companies — the recurring theme is responsiveness, clear communication, and fees that are exactly what was quoted.
Rates Extremely Good, More For Your Money
“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.”
Annual Accounts Done, Nothing To Worry About
“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.”
Quick, Efficient and Friendly For Probate
“Excellent service providing financial accounts for probate. Quick, efficient and friendly. Would highly recommend.”
What makes this different from the accountant you have now
Most accountants file your returns and wait for you to call. This is the alternative — responsive, experienced, and genuinely useful throughout the year.
Twenty Years Across Real Industries
Daniel has worked in airlines, construction, manufacturing and entertainment — not just in practice. That breadth means he already understands how your business makes money, where the risks sit, and what HMRC tends to focus on for your sector. You will not spend the first six months explaining how your industry works.
Replies That Arrive the Same Day
DG Accountancy is built around responsiveness because waiting days for a simple answer costs real time and creates real uncertainty. Questions asked during office hours get answered that day. You will know exactly where things stand — which is considerably more reassuring than a holding reply saying someone will look into it.
Fully Online, No Geographic Premium
Everything runs through Xero, secure file sharing and video calls — which means London clients get the same service as anyone else, without the overhead of a City firm factored into the fee. Your books are accessible in real time, filings are tracked centrally, and nothing falls through the cracks because a file went missing.
Up and running in four straightforward steps
Most clients are fully onboarded within a week. The process is designed so you do as little as possible while we get everything in order.
Book a free discovery call
A 20-30 minute conversation about your business, your current set-up, and what you actually need from an accountant. No sales pitch — just an honest discussion about whether this is the right fit. You will leave the call knowing exactly what happens next.
Receive your fixed-fee quote
You get a clear written quote tailored to your business structure and the services you need. Everything is agreed upfront — no scope creep, no hourly billing, no surprises six months in.
Onboarding and Xero setup
We set up your Xero account or tidy up your existing one, connect your bank feeds and gather the paperwork we need. If you are switching from another accountant, we handle the handover. Most clients are fully operational within a week.
Compliance handled, questions answered
From here, your deadlines are tracked, your books are kept current, and your tax position is visible throughout the year. When a question comes up, it gets answered the same day. Less to chase, less to worry about, more time on the business.
“Fantastic service provided. Thank you.”
Things London clients usually ask first
You are based in Devon — can you actually work with a London business?
Yes, and the location makes no practical difference. All work is done remotely through Xero, secure file sharing and video calls. London clients get exactly the same service as local ones — there is no local premium, no face-to-face requirement, and no reason the distance should cause a delay. Most clients never feel the need to meet in person once they are onboarded.
What does it cost, and what is actually included?
Limited company packages start from £79 per month and run through to £695 per month depending on the size and complexity of your business. All packages include year-end accounts, Corporation Tax and company formation. Higher tiers add VAT returns, payroll, Self Assessment and management accounts. Everything is a fixed monthly fee agreed before you start — no hourly billing, no surprise invoices. There is also a 50% discount on the monthly fee for the first three months.
My books are behind and my previous accountant left things in a mess — can you help?
This is a fairly common starting point. A catch-up bookkeeping exercise is quoted separately based on how far behind things are and what state the records are in. Once that is sorted, everything moves onto the normal monthly arrangement. If you are switching from another accountant, we handle the professional clearance letter and the HMRC authorisation transfer — you do not need to manage that conversation yourself.
Am I tied into a long-term contract?
No. There is no minimum term beyond the initial onboarding period. If it is not working after three months, you can leave with clean, up-to-date books and nothing further owed. The goal is to earn your business month by month, not to lock you in contractually.
Is Daniel a Chartered Accountant or a Chartered Certified Accountant — and does the distinction matter?
Daniel is ACCA-qualified — that is the Association of Chartered Certified Accountants, one of the two globally recognised chartered accountancy bodies in the UK. The ACCA designation carries the same rigorous examinations, continuing professional development requirements and regulatory oversight as any other chartered qualification. For the vast majority of limited company, sole trader and contractor accounting needs, the distinction between ACCA and ICAEW is not material to the quality of work or the protection it affords you.
Do you do proactive tax planning, or just file returns?
Both, and the balance depends on which package you are on. From the Operate tier upwards, there is an annual tax review built in. The Grow and Scale tiers include quarterly tax optimisation and cash flow forecasting, so your liability is estimated and managed throughout the year rather than calculated after the fact. If you have a specific tax question — dividend strategy, salary and dividend mix, R&D eligibility — that can be discussed from the first call.
