Sound familiar?
Still not sure what your tax bill will be?
For most Torquay business owners, tax sits in the background as a vague, uncomfortable thing that will eventually need sorting. The Self Assessment deadline creeps up. Expense records are incomplete. You are not entirely sure whether you are paying too much or running a risk. None of it is catastrophic on its own — but together, it costs time, money and a fair amount of Sunday-evening worry.
- ✕ No clear picture of what tax you owe until it is nearly due
- ✕ Allowable expenses missed because no one has reviewed them properly
- ✕ HMRC correspondence sitting unread because you are not sure what to do with it

When your tax is properly managed, the numbers are visible, the deadlines are handled, and the bill is rarely a surprise. That is what this service is built around.

Tax advice and compliance, all covered
The core services most Torquay businesses and self-employed professionals need, delivered by one qualified accountant who already knows your situation.
Self Assessment Tax Returns
Your personal, director’s or partnership return is filed accurately and on time — no last-minute rush, no penalties. Daniel reviews your income, allowable expenses and any reliefs you are entitled to before submitting, so the figure is not a surprise and you are not overpaying.
Included as standardCorporation Tax and Year-End Accounts
Statutory accounts and CT600 returns handled from start to Companies House filing. Your tax position is planned proactively during the year, not assessed retrospectively when it is too late to do anything about it. Limited company directors pay only what is correctly owed.
All limited company packagesTax Planning and Proactive Advice
Beyond filing returns, Daniel flags opportunities to structure your finances more efficiently — dividend versus salary, allowable business expenses, timing of income and expenditure. You will not need to ask the right questions first; that is what the advisory relationship is for.

What makes this practice different
There are plenty of accountants in and around Torquay. Here is what distinguishes this one.
Twenty Years of Varied Experience
Daniel has worked in finance across airlines, construction, manufacturing and entertainment — not a single industry but four very different ones. That breadth means he recognises the tax and commercial pressures Torquay businesses face across sectors, without needing them explained from scratch. You get considered advice, not generic compliance.
Questions Get Answered Quickly
Most accountants reply when they get round to it. DG Accountancy is known specifically for fast, clear responses — it is mentioned unprompted in multiple client reviews. If you send a question during office hours, you will not be waiting days for a reply or decoding a vague email when it eventually arrives.
Plain English, Every Time
Tax legislation is genuinely complicated. The communication about it does not need to be. Daniel explains your obligations, your options and your numbers in language that makes sense — so you can make informed decisions rather than simply trusting that the right thing is being done. That transparency is, frankly, how it should work.
Up and running in four steps
Most new 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 setup and what you need from a tax advisor. No sales pitch — just an honest discussion about whether this is the right fit and what it would cost.
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. There are no hourly rates and no bills you were not expecting.
Onboarding and cloud setup
Daniel sets up or tidies your Xero account, connects your bank feeds and collects what is needed to get started. If your books are behind, a catch-up plan is agreed at the outset so there are no surprises.
Ongoing support and clarity
Your compliance runs on time, your tax position is visible, and you have an accountant who replies when you need one. The parts of running a business that used to sit awkwardly in the background are handled. Which is where they should stay.
“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 Torquay clients usually ask first
Do you work with all types of Torquay businesses, or just certain sectors?
DG Accountancy works with sole traders, limited company directors, landlords, contractors, hospitality operators and professional service providers across Torbay and beyond. Daniel’s background spans four industries over two decades, so the range of business types is broad. If your situation is unusual or involves multiple income streams, that is generally where experience matters most.
What does tax advice actually cost, and what is included?
All fees are fixed monthly amounts agreed in writing before any work begins — no hourly rates, no end-of-year invoices you were not expecting. Limited company packages start from £79 per month and include year-end accounts, Corporation Tax and Self Assessment. Sole trader packages start from £41 per month. A tailored quote takes around 10 minutes to produce and carries no obligation.
My books are in a mess. Can you still take me on?
Yes, and it is a more common starting point than most people admit. If your records are behind, a catch-up cost is agreed at the outset — there are no surprise charges for sorting out the backlog. Once the books are current, ongoing work follows the fixed monthly fee. Most clients are fully onboarded and up to date within a week.
Is there a minimum contract or lock-in period?
There is no long-term contract. If it is not working after three months, you leave with clean books and nothing owed beyond that month’s fee. The intention is that clients stay because the service is worth it, not because leaving is complicated.
Can you deal with HMRC on my behalf if there is an enquiry or correspondence?
Yes. HMRC investigation support is included in the service where relevant, and Daniel handles correspondence directly so it does not sit on your desk getting worse. Professional indemnity insurance of £250,000 is in place, and DG Accountancy is HMRC AML supervised, meaning you are working with a properly regulated practice.
How far in advance will I know what my tax bill is going to be?
On the Operate, Grow and Scale packages, your tax position is reviewed during the year rather than calculated only at year end. That means you know your approximate liability with enough time to plan for it, adjust your dividend or salary split, or set funds aside. The aim is that the final figure is never a surprise.
Stop guessing what your tax bill is. Get it handled.
A free discovery call, a fixed-fee quote, and a Torquay-based ACCA-qualified accountant who replies the same day. No long contracts, no jargon, no surprise invoices.
