Sound familiar?
Not entirely sure what you owe this year?
Most people in Chelston running a business or working for themselves get to January with a rough idea of their tax position and not much else. The Self Assessment deadline arrives, receipts go in a pile, and the bill is whatever it turns out to be. It does not have to work that way.
- Tax bill arrives as a surprise rather than a number you planned for
- Self Assessment left until January, filed in a rush with little time to check it
- Paying more tax than necessary because no one has looked at your expenses properly
What a sorted tax position looks like
When your books are current and someone is watching your numbers through the year, your tax bill stops being a surprise and starts being a figure you already knew was coming. That is largely the point.
- Your tax liability tracked through the year so nothing lands unexpectedly in January
- Self Assessment prepared early, reviewed and filed well ahead of the deadline
- Allowable expenses identified properly so you keep more of what you earn
- Fixed monthly fee agreed upfront — no hourly rates, no surprise invoices
What local clients say about the tax service
These are two of the people DG Accountancy has helped with self-employed and business tax. Both left with considerably less to worry about.
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!
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.
Tax and compliance, covered from the start
Whether you are a sole trader in Chelston filing your first return or a limited company director keeping on top of obligations, the service covers the parts that matter most.
Self Assessment and Personal Tax
Your return is prepared from clean records, reviewed for allowable expenses and filed accurately ahead of the deadline. You will know your tax figure before HMRC sends anything. No January scramble, no guessing.
Included as standardTax Planning and Advice
Beyond filing the return, there is usually something worth looking at — dividend versus salary splits, allowable expenses, timing of income. Daniel reviews your position proactively and flags what is worth acting on. You do not need to ask the right questions.
Proactive, not reactiveVAT and Making Tax Digital
If you are VAT-registered or approaching the threshold, your returns are filed on time and your records are MTD-compliant. Your VAT position is monitored through the year so the threshold does not creep up unannounced.
Fully MTD-readyConsistently rated 5.0 across every review
Eight verified Google reviews, all five stars. Clients range from sole traders to limited companies — different businesses, same consistent experience.
Stressful Mortgage Process Made Much Easier
“Communication was straightforward and reassuring, which made a potentially stressful part of the mortgage process much easier.”
Spoke Through Everything, Made It Clear
“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.”
Quick, Efficient And Friendly Throughout
“Excellent service providing financial accounts for probate. Quick, efficient and friendly. Would highly recommend.”
What makes the difference for Chelston clients
There are plenty of accountants. These are the specific reasons clients in Chelston choose this one.
Twenty Years Across Real Industries
Daniel has worked in airlines, construction, manufacturing and entertainment — not just in accountancy practices. That breadth means he recognises the issues your business is actually facing before you have finished explaining them. You are not funding a learning curve.
Questions Answered the Same Day
Waiting three days for a reply to a simple tax question is a common complaint about accountants. It is not how this practice works. Clients get responses the day they ask, during business hours — which is, frankly, how it should be.
No Jargon, No Cryptic Emails
Tax has enough complexity without your accountant adding another layer of it. Daniel explains your position, your options and your obligations in plain English. You leave every conversation knowing what is happening and why.
Up and running in four straightforward steps
Most clients are fully onboarded within a week. The process is designed to require as little from you as possible at the start.
Book a free discovery call
A short conversation about your business, your current set-up and what you actually need. No sales pitch — just an honest look at whether DG Accountancy is the right fit for you.

“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.”
A few things people usually ask first
Do you work with businesses and sole traders in Chelston specifically, or is this a national practice?
DG Accountancy is based in Torquay, which means Chelston is on the doorstep. All services are delivered online — via Xero, video call and secure file sharing — so distance within the UK is not a practical barrier. Clients in Chelston get exactly the same service as anyone else on the books.
What does it cost, and what is actually included in the fee?
Pricing is a fixed monthly amount agreed in writing before anything starts. Sole trader packages start from £41 per month; limited company packages from £79. What is included depends on your structure and complexity, and is spelled out clearly in your quote. There are no hourly rates and no surprise invoices.
My books are not in great shape — is that a problem when switching?
It is a common starting point, not an obstacle. Most new clients arrive with records in varying states. A catch-up bookkeeping exercise brings everything current before the ongoing service begins. The cost of any catch-up work is included in your quote so you know what you are committing to upfront.
Am I locked in to a long contract?
No. There is no long-term contract. If the service is not working for you after three months, you leave with clean, up-to-date records and nothing owed. The intention is to be worth keeping — not to make leaving difficult.
I have not done a Self Assessment before — is that a problem?
Not at all. First-time Self Assessment is handled regularly, for newly self-employed people and for directors who have not needed to file personally before. Daniel will explain what is required, what information to gather and what the resulting tax figure means — without assuming you already know how it works.
How far in advance will I know what my tax bill is?
For most clients, the tax position is visible well before the January deadline — usually by autumn for the preceding tax year. That means time to plan, time to set funds aside, and no unwelcome figures arriving with two weeks to act. The exact timing depends on how current your records are throughout the year.
Stop guessing what you owe. Get it sorted.
A free discovery call, a fixed-fee quote, and most clients onboarded within a week. No long-term contract, no jargon, and no surprise bills.
