Sound familiar?
Still not sure what your tax bill is going to be?
Most Totnes business owners are good at what they do. Keeping on top of the accounts is a different matter. The receipts pile up, the bank reconciliation gets pushed back, and the Self Assessment deadline arrives faster than expected. It does not have to work like that.
- Self Assessment filed in a rush with no idea of the figure beforehand
- Bookkeeping left until the year-end scramble begins in earnest
- No clear picture of whether the business is actually profitable
What sorted looks like
Your records stay current through the year, your tax position is visible well in advance, and when something comes up you get a straight answer. Compliance runs on time without it becoming your problem.
- Tax bill calculated and communicated months before the filing deadline
- Books reconciled monthly — no year-end scramble, no surprises
- Clear monthly picture of revenue, costs and what you actually keep
- Fixed monthly fee agreed upfront — no unexpected invoices mid-year
What Totnes clients say after switching
From sole traders filing their first return to established businesses that needed someone more responsive, the feedback tends to say the same thing.
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 a Totnes business actually needs
From the routine compliance that has to happen to the advisory that helps you make better decisions — all delivered online, at a fixed monthly fee.
Clean Books Every Month
Bookkeeping handled monthly in Xero so your records are always up to date and MTD-ready. Bank feeds connected, transactions coded, reconciliation done — without you having to think about it. Year-end becomes a formality rather than a fortnight of digging.
Included as standardTax Returns Filed on Time
Self Assessment, Corporation Tax and VAT returns handled accurately and submitted before any deadline. You will know your liability well in advance — not when HMRC sends the notice. Registrations, amendments and HMRC correspondence dealt with directly.
All return types coveredAdvice When You Actually Need It
Questions get answered the day you ask them, in plain English, without being made to feel like an inconvenience. Whether it is a one-off query about expenses or a conversation about the best structure for growth, the support is there. You deal with Daniel throughout — not a different person each time.
Responsive, direct supportConsistent feedback across different clients
Sole traders, limited companies and self-employed professionals across Devon and the UK — the same themes come up repeatedly.
Self-Employment Tax Handled Without The Stress
“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!”
Quick, Efficient and Friendly Probate Accounts
“Excellent service providing financial accounts for probate. Quick, efficient and friendly. Would highly recommend.”
Fantastic Service, No Further Comment Needed
“Fantastic service provided. Thank you.”
What makes the difference in practice
There are plenty of accountants in Devon. What matters is whether yours picks up the phone, knows your numbers and tells you things straight.
Twenty Years Across Real Industries
Daniel has worked in airlines, construction, manufacturing and entertainment — not just in practice. That means he recognises the pressures Totnes business owners face before they have finished explaining them. You get someone who has seen the problem before, not someone learning on your time.
Questions Answered the Same Day
DG Accountancy is built around responsiveness. If you send a message during office hours, you hear back that day. No chasing, no waiting a week for a reply to a simple question, no feeling like you are an inconvenience between filing deadlines.
Everything Online, Nothing to Post
All services are delivered through Xero and secure online tools — no printing, no posting, no dropping things at an office. Bank feeds connect automatically, records stay current in real time, and you can see your numbers whenever you need to. Which is, frankly, the way it should work.

Things Totnes businesses usually ask first
I run a small independent business in Totnes — is DG Accountancy set up for that, or do you mainly deal with bigger companies?
The majority of clients are sole traders, freelancers and small limited companies — exactly the kind of businesses that make up most of Totnes. Whether you are running a market stall, a holiday let, a creative studio or a trades business, the compliance requirements are the same and the support is tailored to your structure and size. You will not be treated as too small to bother with.
What does it actually cost, and what is included in the monthly fee?
Pricing is fixed and agreed before anything starts — no hourly rates, no surprise invoices at year-end. Sole trader packages start from £41 per month; limited company packages from £79 per month. Each tier sets out exactly what is included, from bookkeeping and Self Assessment through to VAT and payroll. A free quote takes ten minutes and gives you a precise figure for your specific situation.
My books are behind and I am not sure what state they are in. Is that a problem to switch now?
It is a familiar starting point. A catch-up is scoped during onboarding so you know exactly what it involves and what it costs before committing. Once the backlog is cleared, everything moves onto the monthly fixed fee. Most clients arrive with records in some state of disarray and leave that first call considerably less worried about it.
Is there a minimum contract or a penalty for leaving?
There is no long-term contract. If you decide after a few months that it is not the right fit, you leave with clean, up-to-date books and nothing further owed. The relationship is month-to-month and intended to be worth staying in because it works, not because leaving is inconvenient.
Do you work with holiday lets and Airbnb hosts in the Totnes area?
Yes — property income is one of the more involved areas of self-employed tax and it comes up regularly. Rental income, allowable expenses, the furnished holiday let rules and the interaction with your Self Assessment all need handling correctly. If you have a single holiday cottage or several properties, the compliance can be managed straightforwardly once it is set up properly.
How far in advance will I know what my tax bill is going to be?
With books kept current throughout the year, your tax position is visible well before the January deadline — not estimated, not approximate, but calculated from actual figures. That means you can set money aside with confidence and avoid the January scramble that catches a lot of self-employed people out. It is one of the more useful things a current bookkeeping service does that an annual-only one does not.
