Behind on the books and not sure where to start?
Most St Marychurch business owners do not fall behind through carelessness. The work just fills the time that bookkeeping should occupy, and before long the records are months out of date. Year-end then becomes a scramble, the tax bill is a guess, and the nagging feeling that something has been missed does not go away on its own.
- Records months behind with no clear picture of where the money stands
- VAT quarter approaching and the books are not ready to file from
- Year-end accounts taking weeks to prepare because nothing has been kept current
What sorted looks like
Current books mean fewer surprises. When the records are reconciled each month, your VAT is straightforward, your year-end is quick, and your tax position is visible well before any deadline.
- Records reconciled monthly in Xero — always current, always ready to review
- VAT filed on time each quarter from books that are already up to date
- Year-end accounts prepared efficiently because nothing needs untangling first
- One fixed monthly fee covering it all — agreed upfront, no surprises later
What sole traders and business owners say
Clients come to DG Accountancy with records in varying states. They tend to leave considerably less worried about their finances than when they arrived.
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.
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 the difference for St Marychurch clients
There are plenty of bookkeepers available. These are the reasons clients in the Torquay area choose to work with Daniel specifically.
20 Years Across Real Industries
Daniel has worked in airlines, construction, manufacturing and entertainment — industries with very different bookkeeping demands. That breadth means he recognises patterns in your numbers quickly, without needing everything explained from scratch. You get experienced judgement, not a learning curve.
Replies the Day You Ask
DG Accountancy is consistently noted for fast, clear responses. If you send a question, you get an answer the same day during office hours — not a holding reply and a wait. For small business owners, that matters more than most firms acknowledge.
Cloud-First, Accessible in Real Time
Everything runs through Xero. Bank feeds are automated, records are visible whenever you need them, and there is no waiting for someone to open a ledger. For businesses in St Marychurch working without an in-house finance function, that real-time visibility is genuinely useful.
Up and running in four steps
Most clients are fully onboarded within a week. The process is designed to require as little effort from you as possible.
Book a free discovery call
A short conversation about your business, your current records, and what you need. No sales pitch. If DG Accountancy is not the right fit, you will be told honestly.
Receive your fixed-fee quote
A clear, written quote tailored to your structure and the services you need. Everything is agreed upfront — there is nothing to decode later.
Xero set up and connected
Your Xero account is set up or tidied, bank feeds are connected, and any catch-up work is scoped and agreed. Most clients are fully onboarded within a week.
Books running, less to carry
Your records are kept current each month, your VAT is filed on time, and your year-end is prepared without drama. You know where you stand financially, and the parts of running a business you found most tedious are no longer yours to carry.
“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.”
Things people usually ask before getting in touch
Do you handle bookkeeping for businesses in St Marychurch specifically, or is that too local?
DG Accountancy is based in Torquay and works with businesses across the Torbay area, including St Marychurch. All services are delivered online via Xero, video calls and secure file sharing, so geography is not a constraint. Being locally based simply means Daniel already has a reasonable sense of how businesses in the area operate.
What does bookkeeping actually cost, and what is included?
Pricing is a fixed monthly fee agreed upfront, based on your business structure, transaction volume and the services you need. Sole trader bookkeeping packages start from £41 per month, with limited company packages from £79 per month. There are no hidden hourly rates and no surprise bills at year-end. Everything is set out clearly in a written quote before you commit to anything.
My books are a mess. Can you still help, or do I need to sort them out first?
Arriving with records in some state of disarray is fairly normal. Catch-up bookkeeping is scoped and priced as part of the onboarding conversation, so you know what the tidying-up will cost before any work begins. Once the backlog is cleared, ongoing monthly bookkeeping keeps everything current going forward.
Is there a long-term contract, and what happens if I want to leave?
There is no long-term contract. Services run on a monthly basis and you can give notice at any time. If things are not working after three months, you leave with clean, up-to-date books and nothing owed. The intention is to earn the relationship each month, not lock it in contractually.
Do you use Xero, and will I need to learn the software myself?
Yes, all bookkeeping is done in Xero. You do not need to be a Xero user yourself — Daniel handles the bookkeeping side. If you want visibility into your records, Xero is straightforward to navigate and Daniel can walk you through the parts that are useful to you. Bank feeds are connected automatically, which removes most of the manual data entry.
Will I be able to see my tax position before the year-end deadline?
Yes. Because the books are reconciled each month, your profit and tax position are visible throughout the year rather than only when accounts are being prepared. For most clients, that means knowing roughly what their tax bill will be several months in advance, which makes cash flow planning considerably more manageable.
Less time on the books. More on everything else.
Fixed monthly bookkeeping in Xero, VAT compliance and year-end support — all from an ACCA-qualified accountant based in Torquay, with no long-term contract and a fee agreed upfront.
