Sound familiar?
Not sure what your tax bill will be this year?
For most sole traders and limited company directors in Barton, the tax situation is not complicated in principle — it just never quite gets sorted until the deadline forces it. Receipts pile up, allowances go unchecked, and the annual Self Assessment becomes a scramble rather than a formality. Which is, frankly, more stressful than it needs to be.
- Tax return left to the last minute, filed in a rush
- Legitimate expenses missed because nobody flagged them

Tax services covered in your fixed fee
Whether you need a one-off Self Assessment or ongoing tax planning as your business grows, the scope is clear and the price is agreed before any work begins.
Self Assessment, Filed on Time
Your personal or director’s tax return is prepared accurately and submitted well ahead of the HMRC deadline. Allowable expenses are reviewed as part of the process — not as an afterthought. You receive a clear summary of what you owe and why before anything is filed.
Included as standardTax Planning and Advice
Rather than filing whatever the year produced, Daniel reviews your position proactively — salary and dividend mix, allowable expenditure, timing of income — and flags opportunities before the tax year closes. The aim is that you keep more of what you earn, legally and without complexity.
Proactive, not reactiveCorporation Tax and Year-End
For limited company directors, statutory accounts, the CT600 return and Companies House filing are handled as a complete package. Nothing is left for you to chase or coordinate. You receive clear figures and a plain-English explanation of your Corporation Tax liability.

Why businesses in Barton choose Daniel
There is no shortage of accountants in Torquay. The difference tends to come down to three things that are either present or not.
Twenty Years of Real-World Tax Experience
Daniel has worked across airlines, construction, manufacturing and entertainment — sectors with genuinely different tax profiles. That breadth means he recognises the situations your business faces before you finish describing them. You get experienced judgement, not a first guess dressed up as advice.
Questions Answered the Day You Ask
Most people switch accountants because they cannot get a timely answer to a straightforward question. DG Accountancy is built around the opposite: same-day replies, no chasing, no cryptic holding emails. When your tax position changes, you find out immediately.
Plain English, Not Accountant Speak
Tax advice that requires a second meeting to decode is not particularly useful. Daniel explains your position, your options and your obligations in language that makes sense on first reading. You understand your numbers — and that makes better decisions considerably easier.
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 at the start.
Book a free discovery call
A short conversation about your business, your current tax situation and what you actually need from an advisor. No sales pitch — just an honest assessment of whether this is the right fit and what it would cost.
Receive your fixed-fee quote
You get a clear, written quote covering exactly what is included. Everything is agreed before any work begins, so there are no unexpected additions when the bill arrives.
Onboarding and cloud setup
Your Xero account is set up or tidied, bank feeds connected and the previous year’s records reviewed. Most of this happens in the background. You provide documents; Daniel handles the rest.
Ongoing advice on your side
Your returns run to schedule, your tax position is monitored throughout the year and your questions get answered the day you ask them. Which is, frankly, the way it should work.
“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.”
Things people usually ask first
Do you work with clients in Barton and around Torquay, or is this purely a remote service?
DG Accountancy operates as a fully online practice, serving clients across the UK via cloud accounting platforms, video calls and secure file sharing. Clients in Barton and across Torbay are served exactly as clients anywhere else in the country — there is no geographic limitation on the quality or scope of service.
What does a tax advisor actually cost, and what is included in the fee?
Pricing is fixed monthly and agreed upfront before any work begins. Sole trader packages start from £41 per month, and limited company packages from £79 per month, with 50% off the first three months. Every quote is tailored to your business structure and the services you actually need — there are no hourly rates and no surprise additions.
My books are a bit of a mess. Is that a problem when switching?
It is not unusual. Most clients arrive with records in some state of disarray, and a catch-up bookkeeping exercise is part of the onboarding process when needed. The cost of any catch-up work is quoted separately and agreed before it begins, so you know exactly what you are committing to.
Is there a minimum contract period or tie-in?
There is no long-term contract. Packages run on a rolling monthly basis. If the arrangement is not working after three months, you leave with clean, up-to-date records and nothing further owed. That arrangement tends to focus the mind on doing good work rather than retaining clients through inertia.
Can you help with HMRC correspondence or an investigation?
Yes. HMRC investigations and correspondence are handled as part of the advisory relationship. If a compliance check or enquiry arrives, Daniel manages the response, gathers the required documentation and communicates with HMRC directly. You are kept informed throughout without needing to deal with HMRC yourself.
How far ahead will I know what my tax bill is going to be?
For most clients, a reasonably accurate tax estimate is available several months before the filing deadline — not a vague range, but a working figure based on current records. That gives you time to plan your cash flow or consider whether any legitimate adjustments apply before the year closes.
Stop guessing what your tax bill will be. Get it sorted.
Fixed monthly fees, an ACCA-qualified advisor who replies the same day, and a clear picture of your tax position throughout the year — not just when HMRC asks.
