Sound familiar?
Still not sure where your tax bill stands this year?
Most Torbay business owners are not avoiding their accounts on purpose. They are just busy running a business, and the paperwork accumulates faster than they expect. A Self Assessment due, a VAT deadline approaching, year-end accounts sitting half-done — each one manageable on its own, considerably less so together. And finding a local accountant who actually replies promptly is harder than it should be.
- No clear sense of what this year’s tax bill is going to be
- VAT deadlines and Making Tax Digital obligations quietly building up
- Year-end accounts left to the last minute because no one is keeping track
What a tidy set of books looks like
When compliance runs in the background, you stop thinking about it. Your numbers are current, your deadlines are met, and your accountant tells you what your tax position is before HMRC does. Which is, frankly, the way it should be.
- Your tax position visible month by month, with no end-of-year surprises
- VAT returns filed on time and MTD compliance handled as standard
- Year-end accounts and Corporation Tax completed well ahead of deadlines
- Fixed monthly fee agreed upfront — no surprise invoices, no hourly rates
What Torbay clients say about working with us
From sole traders filing their first return to limited company directors managing growing payrolls, the feedback tends to land in the same place: responsive, clear, and worth the fee.
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.
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!

What makes this practice different from any other Torbay accountant
Not a list of services. A few specific reasons why the clients who come here tend to stay.
Twenty years across real industries
Daniel has worked inside airlines, construction firms, manufacturers and entertainment businesses — not just with them. That breadth means he already understands the pressures and financial patterns your business faces before you explain them. You get experienced judgement, not a template applied to every client.
Questions answered the day you ask
DG Accountancy has a consistent reputation for fast replies. You will not be left composing follow-up emails or chasing a response that should have taken twenty minutes. For business owners in Torbay who want an accountant they can actually reach, that distinction matters.
Cloud-first, no paper chases
Everything runs through Xero — bank feeds connected, records current, documents shared securely online. Whether you are in Torquay, Paignton, Brixham or anywhere else, the practice works the same way: fully online, always accessible, no driving across town with a bag of receipts.
Up and running in four straightforward steps
Most clients are fully onboarded within a week. The process is designed so that your side of it takes as little time as possible.
Book a free discovery call
A short conversation about your business, your current set-up, and what you actually need. No sales pitch. You will leave the call knowing exactly what happens next.

“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.”
Things Torbay clients usually ask first
I am based in Paignton or Brixham — does location matter if everything is done online?
Not at all. DG Accountancy operates as a fully online practice, so it makes no practical difference whether you are in Torquay, Paignton, Brixham or anywhere else in the UK. All services are delivered via Xero, video calls and secure file sharing. There are no office visits required.
What does it cost, and what is included?
Pricing is a fixed monthly fee agreed before anything starts — no hourly rates, no surprise invoices at year-end. Limited company packages run from £79 per month and sole trader packages from £41 per month, with 50% off the first three months. A free quote is available with no obligation, and everything covered is set out in writing before you sign anything.
My books are in a bit of a state. Is that a problem?
It is a common starting point. Catch-up bookkeeping is a standard part of the onboarding process, and the cost is agreed upfront so there are no hidden charges for tidying up the backlog. Once the records are current, the ongoing monthly service keeps them that way.
Is there a long-term contract?
No. There is no lock-in beyond a short notice period. If it is not working for any reason, you leave with clean, up-to-date books and all your records handed over properly. The aim is to keep clients because the service is worth keeping, not because leaving is complicated.
Do you handle Making Tax Digital for Income Tax as well as VAT?
Yes. MTD for VAT is included as standard across the relevant packages. MTD for Income Tax — which will apply to sole traders and landlords from April 2026 — is also part of the service, so Torbay clients on the self-employed packages will be ready well before the deadline without needing to do anything separately.
How far in advance will I know my tax bill?
On the Operate, Grow and Scale packages, an annual tax review is included, meaning you will know your likely liability months before the payment deadline — not the day the return is filed. That gives you time to plan the cashflow rather than scrambling to find the funds at the last moment.
