Not sure what you should actually be paying?
Most limited company directors either pay too much for an accountant they rarely hear from, or too little for someone who files the minimum and goes quiet. Getting a straight answer on fees — let alone what those fees actually cover — takes more effort than it should. The result is either an unexpected invoice or a compliance gap you find out about too late.
- No clear idea what your current accountant’s fee actually covers
- Unexpected bills appearing after year-end with no warning given
- Corporation Tax deadline approaching with no figure in sight yet
What straightforward looks like
A fixed monthly fee, agreed before anything starts, covering everything your limited company needs to stay compliant. No surprises at year-end. No chasing for updates. Just a clear number, a clear scope, and an accountant who tells you your tax position before HMRC does.
- Written quote covering every service before you sign anything
- Fixed monthly fee — the same amount lands every month, no additions
- Corporation Tax calculated and communicated well before the deadline
- All packages include year-end accounts, CT600 and Companies House filing
What limited company clients say
Directors who switched to DG Accountancy typically cite two things: clarity on fees upfront and an accountant who actually responds.
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.
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.
What the monthly fee covers
Four fixed-fee packages built for limited companies at different stages — from a newly formed company to a business scaling fast. Everything is agreed upfront.
Year-End Accounts and Corporation Tax
Your statutory accounts, CT600 and Companies House filing are included in every package. Your Corporation Tax liability is calculated and communicated well in advance of any deadline — not handed to you as a surprise in January. You will know the number before HMRC asks for it.
Included in all packagesVAT, Payroll and Self Assessment
Quarterly VAT returns under Making Tax Digital, full payroll and RTI submissions, and your personal Self Assessment are included from the Operate package upward. The Start package covers the core compliance; add-ons are available where needed and priced transparently.
Included from Operate upwardManagement Accounts and Tax Planning
The Grow and Scale packages add quarterly or monthly management accounts, cash flow forecasting and proactive tax planning — so decisions get made on current numbers rather than last year’s accounts. You see where you stand before problems have a chance to develop.
Grow and Scale packagesFive-star reviews across every service
Clients range from first-time directors to established businesses. The consistent theme is clear communication, fast responses and fees that do what they say on the tin.
Professional Service, Never Had To Worry
“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.”
Made It Clear When I Had No Clue
“Daniel was very helpful and patient with me when I had no clue what to do and spoke through everything with me and made it clear, couldn’t recommend him enough, thank you again.”
Quick, Efficient and Friendly Every Time
“Excellent service providing financial accounts for probate. Quick, efficient and friendly. Would highly recommend.”
Why directors choose DG Accountancy
There is no shortage of accountants willing to file your Corporation Tax return. Here is what makes the difference in practice.
No Surprise Invoices, Ever
Every engagement starts with a written fixed-fee quote covering exactly what is included. The same amount arrives each month regardless of how many questions you ask or how busy your year-end is. If your needs change significantly, the fee is discussed openly — never silently added to a bill.
Questions Answered the Same Day
Directors do not want to wait three days for a simple answer about their tax position. DG Accountancy is built around fast, direct communication — you deal with Daniel, not a junior passing messages. If something needs addressing, it gets addressed.
Twenty Years Across Real Businesses
Daniel has worked across airlines, construction, manufacturing and entertainment before founding DG Accountancy. That cross-sector experience means he has encountered the financial challenges most limited company directors face — and knows how to solve them without making the conversation more complicated than it needs to be.
Up and running in four steps
Most clients are fully onboarded within a week. The process is designed so the effort on your side is as small as it reasonably can be.
Book a free discovery call
A conversation about your company, your current set-up and what you actually need. No sales pitch — just an honest discussion about whether the fit is right. You will leave the call knowing exactly what the next step looks like.
Receive your fixed-fee quote
A clear, written quote arrives covering the exact services your limited company needs, with nothing buried in small print. You agree the fee before any work starts. The number does not change unless your needs do.
Onboarding and cloud setup
Your Xero account is set up (or tidied up if one already exists), bank feeds are connected, and everything needed is gathered from you. Most companies are fully onboarded within a week, with no significant time required from you.
Compliance runs, you grow
Year-end accounts, Corporation Tax, VAT and payroll run on schedule without you having to chase. You get plain-English updates, advance warning on tax liabilities, and an accountant who flags opportunities before they pass. Which is, frankly, the way it should be.
“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.”
Common questions about limited company fees
What does an accountant for a limited company actually need to do each year?
At minimum: prepare your statutory accounts, file your CT600 Corporation Tax return with HMRC, and submit your confirmation statement to Companies House. If you are VAT-registered, quarterly VAT returns are required under Making Tax Digital. Most directors also need a personal Self Assessment return to declare salary and dividends. DG Accountancy’s packages are built around these obligations so nothing slips through.
How much does a limited company accountant cost, and what is included?
DG Accountancy’s limited company packages start at £79 per month (Start), rising to £195 (Operate), £395 (Grow) and £695 (Scale). Every package includes year-end accounts, Corporation Tax return and company registration. VAT, payroll and Self Assessment are included from Operate upward. Management accounts, cash flow forecasting and proactive tax planning are included in Grow and Scale. All fees are agreed in writing before any work begins — there are no hourly rates or end-of-year surprises.
My books are behind and my last accountant left things in a mess. Can you help?
This is a common starting point, not a barrier. Catch-up bookkeeping is something DG Accountancy handles regularly — Xero is used to bring records current, however far behind they are. The catch-up scope is assessed and quoted separately before the work starts, so you know the cost before anything is touched. Once up to date, the ongoing monthly fee takes over.
Is there a minimum contract or lock-in period?
No long-term contract. If the arrangement is not working after three months, you are free to leave with clean, up-to-date books and nothing further owed. The aim is to make switching away unnecessary, not impossible.
What is the most tax-efficient way to pay myself through a limited company?
The standard approach for a sole director is a salary set at the National Insurance secondary threshold combined with dividends from retained profit — reducing both Income Tax and National Insurance compared to taking a salary alone. The exact figures depend on your other income sources, the company’s profit level and your personal circumstances. This is reviewed as part of the Operate, Grow and Scale packages rather than left as an afterthought.
How far in advance will I know my Corporation Tax bill?
On the Grow and Scale packages, management accounts are produced quarterly or monthly, meaning your tax position is visible throughout the year rather than only at year-end. Even on the Start and Operate packages, year-end accounts are prepared promptly after your accounting period closes, giving you the Corporation Tax figure well before the nine-month payment deadline. You will not be finding out what you owe at the last moment.
Stop guessing what accounting should actually cost.
A fixed-fee quote for your limited company takes one conversation. You will know the exact monthly cost, what it covers and what happens next — before committing to anything.
