Sound familiar?
Still running payroll yourself at midnight?
Payroll is one of those jobs that has to be right and has to be on time. Miss an RTI deadline, miscalculate a CIS deduction, or overlook a P11D obligation and HMRC notices. For most Torbay business owners, payroll is not the reason they started their company — it is just something that has to get done, every single month, without fail.
- RTI submissions due monthly with no margin for error or delay
- CIS deductions manually worked out for each subcontractor payment
- P11D and benefits-in-kind deadlines missed or overlooked entirely
What a tidy payroll looks like
When payroll is handled properly, you stop thinking about it. Staff get paid correctly, HMRC gets what it needs on time, and nothing accumulates into a problem you deal with later.
- RTI filed accurately each pay run — HMRC notified before your staff are paid
- CIS deductions calculated, submitted and verified each month without your input
- P11D and benefits-in-kind reviewed and filed by the July deadline, every year
- Fixed monthly fee confirmed upfront — no time-recording, no invoice surprises
What Torbay clients say about working with us
These are not edited summaries. They are the actual words from clients who needed accurate, timely work done without fuss.
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.
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.
Everything your payroll needs, covered
Payroll compliance covers more ground than most business owners expect. Here is what is included as standard and what sits alongside it.
Monthly Payroll and RTI
Each pay run is processed accurately and your Full Payment Submission is filed with HMRC before the payment date. Your employees receive correct payslips and your PAYE liability is clear before it is due. No chasing, no last-minute scrambles.
Included as standardCIS Returns and Deductions
If you operate in construction and pay subcontractors under the Construction Industry Scheme, deductions are calculated correctly for each payment and your monthly CIS return is submitted on time. Subcontractor verification is handled from the outset so the right rate is applied from day one.
Included for CIS clientsP11D and Benefits Administration
Director benefits, company vehicles, private medical and other reportable expenses are captured throughout the year and your P11D is filed by the 6 July deadline. No scramble at year-end trying to recall what was provided to whom.
Filed by the July deadlineClients across Torbay and beyond
From sole traders filing their first return to limited companies with growing teams, these are the results clients describe in their own words.
Great Advice Saved Money on Expenses
“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.”
Self-Employed Tax Handled Without the Stress
“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!”
Quick, Efficient and Friendly Throughout
“Excellent service providing financial accounts for probate. Quick, efficient and friendly. Would highly recommend.”
What makes the difference on payroll
Any accountant can process a payroll run. What matters is accuracy, timeliness and someone who notices when something does not look right.
Payroll done before it is due
RTI submissions are filed before your payment date — not on it. That gives HMRC what it needs on time and keeps your PAYE account clean. For CIS clients, monthly returns are submitted without you needing to provide a checklist each month.
Questions answered the same day
Payroll queries tend to be urgent — a new starter, a leavers form, a director loan question before month-end. You will not be waiting days for a reply. DG Accountancy is known for fast, direct responses, and that matters most when something is time-sensitive.
20 years across sectors that actually use payroll
Daniel has worked in construction, manufacturing, airlines and entertainment — industries where payroll complexity is the norm, not the exception. CIS, P11D, multi-rate PAYE and director salary structures are not new ground. You get experience that was earned, not read from a manual.

Common questions about payroll in Torbay
Do you handle CIS payroll for construction businesses in Torbay?
Yes. CIS is handled as part of the payroll service for clients who pay subcontractors under the Construction Industry Scheme. That includes verifying subcontractors with HMRC, applying the correct deduction rate, producing deduction statements and filing the monthly CIS return. If you have a mix of PAYE employees and CIS subcontractors, both are managed together.
What does payroll actually cost, and what is included in the price?
Payroll is included within the monthly limited company packages from the Operate tier upward, with employee bands ranging from 1–3 on Operate up to 20 on the Scale package. If your needs sit outside those tiers, or you are a sole trader with staff, a tailored fixed monthly fee is agreed before anything starts. There are no hourly rates and no charges per payslip on top of the agreed fee.
My payroll records are a mess. Can you still take it on?
This is fairly common, particularly when payroll has been done in-house or the previous provider was not keeping things tidy. A catch-up exercise is costed separately before any work starts, so you know exactly what it will take to get back to a clean position. Once it is sorted, the ongoing monthly fee applies as normal.
Is there a long-term contract or notice period?
No long-term contract. Monthly rolling arrangements are the default. If you decide to leave, you give reasonable notice and you take away clean, complete payroll records. You will not be left scrambling to reconstruct your own data.
Do you handle auto-enrolment and pension submissions?
Auto-enrolment duties — assessing worker eligibility, enrolling eligible employees, calculating contributions and submitting to your pension provider — are part of a properly managed payroll service. If you do not yet have a pension scheme in place, that can be set up as part of onboarding.
Can you advise on the most tax-efficient director salary and dividend split?
Yes. For limited company directors, the optimal split between salary and dividends changes with each tax year and depends on your personal circumstances. This is reviewed as part of the ongoing service rather than left to chance at year-end. The aim is to keep your personal tax liability reasonable without creating unnecessary complexity.
