Sound familiar?
Still not sure what your tax bill will be?
Most Torquay business owners do not have a bad accountant — they have an absent one. Slow replies, year-end surprises, and explanations that require a second explanation. The compliance gets done eventually, but you are rarely any clearer on where you stand or what is coming next.
- ✕ No idea what Corporation Tax or Self Assessment will be until it arrives
- ✕ Questions left unanswered for days while the business keeps moving
- ✕ Year-end scramble because nothing was kept properly during the year

What makes this practice different from the alternatives
There are plenty of accountants in Torquay. Here is what actually distinguishes working with Daniel.
Twenty Years Across Real Industries
Daniel has worked in airlines, construction, manufacturing and entertainment — which means he has seen the financial challenges that diverse businesses face long before clients have to explain them. You get seasoned judgement, not a graduate still learning the ropes on your time.
Answers the Day You Ask
DG Accountancy is known specifically for fast replies and clear follow-through. You will not be left chasing a response for three days over something straightforward. Questions get answered the day they are asked — which turns out to matter more than most people expect.
Cloud-Based, No Paperwork
Everything runs through Xero — bank feeds connected, records current, accessible whenever you need them. No shoeboxes of receipts, no waiting for the accountant to open a spreadsheet. Your numbers are available in real time, and the compliance runs in the background.
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.
Book a free discovery call
A short conversation about your business, your current set-up, and what you actually need from an accountant. No sales pitch — just an honest discussion about whether we are the right fit.
Receive your fixed-fee quote
You will get a clear, written quote tailored to your business structure and the services you need. Everything is agreed upfront, so nothing comes as a surprise later.
Xero onboarding and setup
Your Xero account is set up or tidied, bank feeds are connected, and everything required is gathered. Most clients are fully onboarded within a week — you do very little of the heavy lifting.
Compliance runs, you focus
Deadlines are met, records are current, and you get responsive plain-English advice whenever you need it. Your tax position is visible, your accounts are in order, and considerably less of your week belongs to accounting admin.
“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 Torquay business owners usually ask
I run a local Torquay business — do you actually understand the kinds of businesses here, not just compliance theory?
DG Accountancy is based in Torquay and works with local limited companies, sole traders, contractors, hospitality operators and property investors across the bay. Daniel’s 20 years of hands-on experience across multiple sectors means the conversation starts from a practical understanding of how your business actually works, not from a generic compliance checklist.
What does it cost, and what exactly is included?
Pricing is fixed and agreed upfront before anything starts. Limited company packages run from £79 per month, sole trader packages from £41 per month, with 50% off the first three months. Each package sets out exactly what is included — year-end accounts, Corporation Tax, VAT, payroll and Self Assessment depending on the tier. There are no hidden hourly rates and no surprise bills at year-end.
My books are a bit of a mess — is that a problem when switching?
It is a very common starting point. A catch-up bookkeeping exercise will be scoped and quoted before work begins, so the cost is clear upfront rather than open-ended. Once the backlog is cleared and Xero is set up properly, the ongoing process is straightforward. Most clients arrive with books in some state of disarray and leave with considerably less to worry about.
Is there a long-term contract I am locked into?
No. There is no minimum term beyond the initial three-month period. If it is not working, you leave with clean, up-to-date books and nothing further owed. The aim is to make the service worth staying for — not to make leaving difficult.
I am a limited company director — do I need a separate Self Assessment as well?
Yes, most limited company directors need to file a personal Self Assessment return each year to declare salary, dividends and any other income. This is included in the Operate, Grow and Scale packages, and available as an add-on on the Start package. Daniel will make sure both your company and personal tax positions are handled correctly and efficiently.
How far in advance will I know what my tax bill is going to be?
With monthly or quarterly bookkeeping in place, your tax position is visible throughout the year rather than only at year-end. Corporation Tax and Self Assessment liabilities are calculated as part of the ongoing service, so you know what is coming and can plan for it — not scramble when HMRC sends the bill.
Less time on the books, more on your business.
Fixed monthly fees, ACCA-qualified support, and an accountant based right here in Torquay who answers questions the day you ask them. No long-term contract required.
