Sound familiar?
Still not sure what your tax bill will be?
Most Devon business owners either guess, or find out far too late. Expenses go unclaimed, reliefs go unnoticed, and the January deadline arrives before anyone has done the planning. Tax is one of those things that feels manageable until it suddenly is not.
- No clear view of what you will owe until it is almost due
- Legitimate expenses and reliefs missed because nobody flagged them
- HMRC correspondence piling up without a clear next step
What on top of it looks like
Your tax position is visible throughout the year, not just in January. Allowances are claimed properly, deadlines are handled, and HMRC correspondence gets a considered response rather than a drawer.
- Your liability calculated well ahead of the due date, with no last-minute scramble
- Allowable expenses and available reliefs identified and applied as a matter of course
- HMRC communications handled promptly, with clear explanations of what they mean
- Fixed monthly fee — the cost of good tax advice agreed upfront, no hourly surprises
What Devon clients say about their tax
From sole traders filing their first return to limited company directors planning a more tax-efficient structure — here is what working with Daniel actually looks like.
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!

Why Devon businesses choose DG Accountancy for tax
There are plenty of accountants in Devon. Here is what separates an adviser who knows your numbers from one who simply files them.
Twenty Years Across Real Sectors
Daniel has worked in airlines, construction, manufacturing and entertainment — sectors with genuinely different tax considerations. That breadth means he is unlikely to encounter a situation he has not seen before. You get the benefit of that experience without paying for him to learn on your time.
Tax Explained Without the Jargon
The tax system is complex. The explanation of your position does not have to be. Every letter, calculation and planning recommendation comes in plain English, so you understand your options and can make informed decisions. Which is, frankly, the way it should be.
Questions Answered the Day You Ask
DG Accountancy’s reputation is built largely on responsiveness. When a tax question comes up — whether it is about a new income stream, an HMRC notice or a year-end decision — you will not be waiting days for a reply. That speed matters most precisely when the stakes are highest.

Things people usually ask before getting started
Do you advise on tax across all types of Devon business — sole traders, limited companies and landlords?
Yes. The tax position of a sole trader, a limited company director and a property landlord are meaningfully different, and the advice needs to reflect that. Daniel works with all three regularly, as well as contractors navigating IR35, self-employed professionals with multiple income streams, and partnerships. You will not need to explain how your business is structured before getting a relevant answer.
What does tax advice cost, and what is included in the monthly fee?
All fees are fixed and agreed in writing before any work starts. Sole trader plans begin from £41 per month and limited company packages from £79 per month, with Self Assessment and Corporation Tax included depending on the tier. There are no hourly rates and no unexpected bills. A new client promotion of 50% off the monthly fee for the first three months currently applies to both sole trader and limited company packages.
My books are a bit of a mess and I am not sure where to start — can you still help?
That is a fairly common starting point. Most clients arrive with records in some state of disarray, and bringing them up to date is a straightforward part of the onboarding process. Catch-up bookkeeping is discussed and priced transparently at the outset, so there are no surprises about the cost of getting current. Once you are onboarded, the situation does not repeat itself.
Is there a long-term contract, and what happens if I want to leave?
There is no long-term lock-in. If the arrangement is not working for you, you can leave with your records, your Xero data and nothing owed beyond the current period. The aim is to be worth staying with, not to make leaving difficult.
Can you help if I have received a letter from HMRC or I am under investigation?
Yes. HMRC correspondence ranges from routine queries to formal compliance checks, and the appropriate response varies accordingly. Daniel handles HMRC communications on behalf of clients, ensures responses are accurate and submitted on time, and will explain in plain English exactly what is being asked and what the likely outcome is. Early engagement almost always produces a better result than ignoring correspondence.
How far in advance will I know what my tax bill is going to be?
With up-to-date records and proactive planning, your estimated liability can typically be calculated several months before the due date. For limited company directors, that means dividend strategy and salary structure can be reviewed well before the year end. For sole traders, the Self Assessment figure is not a surprise in January — it is a number you have seen coming. That visibility is one of the more practical differences between reactive compliance and proper tax planning.
Stop guessing what your tax bill is going to be.
A short discovery call is enough to get a clear picture of your tax position, a fixed-fee quote and a straightforward plan. No obligation, no pressure, no jargon.
