What you receive

Useful content, sent fortnightly

Each issue focuses on something you can act on — a deadline to prepare for, a decision to make, or a system worth understanding.

Compliance deadlines broken down

Upcoming HMRC and Companies House dates explained with enough context to prepare properly, not just a calendar reminder.

Tax decisions explained clearly

When a tax rule changes or a planning opportunity arises, we break down what it means for your structure and your numbers specifically.

Real scenarios from real businesses

Anonymised case examples showing how common financial decisions play out — from salary and dividend splits to VAT scheme choices.

Cloud accounting and MTD updates

Practical guidance on Making Tax Digital, Xero and bookkeeping systems, so your records stay accurate and compliant as rules evolve.

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.

Behind the brief

Written by Daniel Grimmelijkhuizen

Daniel is the founder of DG Accountancy and an ACCA-qualified accountant with 20 years of hands-on experience. He writes the newsletter himself — it is not outsourced, not AI-generated filler, and not a vehicle for selling a service. Each issue is written the same way he works with clients: directly, in plain English, focused on what is actually useful.

Before founding DG Accountancy in 2024, Daniel built his accounting experience across airlines, construction, manufacturing and entertainment — industries with genuinely different financial structures, compliance obligations and risks. That breadth shapes how the newsletter is written: the content is grounded in how diverse businesses actually operate, not a single-sector perspective.
