Sound familiar?
Revenue is up. So why does profit feel flat?
It is a common position for Paignton business owners: turnover growing, activity increasing, yet the bank balance tells a different story. The numbers exist somewhere — in Xero, in a spreadsheet, in a folder of invoices — but no one has pulled them into a shape that shows where margin is made and where it disappears. By the time the year-end accounts arrive, the decisions have already been taken.
- No clear picture of which services or clients actually generate profit
- Year-end accounts arrive months too late to change anything
- Pricing decisions made without knowing what the margin actually is
What a clear picture looks like
Profitability analysis from DG Accountancy breaks your numbers down by product, service line or client — in plain English, delivered regularly enough to be useful. You will know your margins, your cost drivers, and where the real opportunities are.
- Margins broken down by service, product or client — no guesswork
- Monthly or quarterly management reports delivered while decisions still matter
- Pricing reviewed against actual costs so margin is visible before you quote
- Fixed monthly fee agreed upfront — no surprise invoices
What Paignton clients say about the numbers
Clients working with DG Accountancy consistently report that the numbers finally make sense — and that advice arrives quickly enough to act on.
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.
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.
Profitability support that covers the essentials
From a one-off analysis to ongoing monthly management accounts, the service is structured around what your business actually needs — not a generic package.
Margin Analysis by Line
Your gross and net margins broken down by product, service or client — so you can see where profit is made and where it is not. Delivered in plain English with a brief narrative, not a wall of spreadsheet. Useful for pricing decisions, cost reviews and conversations with investors or lenders.
Core profitability serviceManagement Accounts and KPIs
Monthly or quarterly management reports that show revenue, margin, cost trends and key performance indicators in one place. These arrive in time to act on, unlike year-end accounts. Most clients on the Grow or Scale package receive these as standard.
Included in Grow and Scale packagesCash Flow and Forecasting
Knowing your profit margin is useful; knowing how it translates into cash over the next thirteen weeks is considerably more so. Cash flow forecasting sits alongside profitability analysis to give a complete picture of where the business is heading. Available as part of the Grow and Scale packages.
Included in Grow and Scale packagesConsistent results across different clients
From sole traders to limited companies, the feedback centres on the same things: clear communication, fast turnaround and work done thoroughly.
Fast Turnaround, No Corners Cut
“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.”
Took Tax Off An Impossible Workload
“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!”
Never Have To Worry About It
“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.”
What makes the difference for Paignton businesses
There is no shortage of accountants. The question is whether yours understands your margins, replies promptly and explains things without jargon.
Margins Explained, Not Just Filed
Profitability analysis is only useful if the person reading it understands what it means. Daniel explains your numbers in plain English — what the margin movement means, what is driving it, and what you could do about it. You will not receive a report and be left to work it out yourself.
Questions Answered the Same Day
DG Accountancy is known for fast, direct replies. If you spot something in your management accounts and want to understand it, you will hear back the day you ask — not after the weekend. That matters when the insight is time-sensitive.
Twenty Years Across Real Businesses
Daniel has worked across airlines, construction, manufacturing and entertainment — industries where margin management is not theoretical. That cross-sector experience means he already understands the cost structures and pressure points common to ambitious businesses in Paignton and across Devon.

Things people usually ask us first
Can you analyse profitability by product, service line or individual client?
Yes — and that level of granularity is usually where the most useful insight sits. Rather than looking at overall margin, it is often more instructive to see which service lines or client segments are genuinely profitable and which are subsidised by the rest. The analysis is structured around how your business actually operates, not a generic template.
What does profitability analysis cost, and what is included?
Pricing is fixed monthly and agreed upfront — no hourly rates, no surprise invoices. For limited companies, profitability analysis and management accounts are included in the Grow package from £395 per month, with a 50% discount for the first three months. A free written quote tailored to your business is available before you commit to anything.
My books are not in great shape. Can you still run a profitability analysis?
This is a common starting point. Before useful analysis can be produced, the underlying bookkeeping needs to be accurate — which means catch-up work is often part of the onboarding process. The cost of that is scoped and agreed upfront so there are no surprises. Once the books are current, regular reporting is straightforward.
Is there a long-term contract?
No. There is no lock-in beyond a standard notice period. If the service is not working for you, you give notice and leave with your Xero data, clean books and nothing outstanding. The aim is to make staying worthwhile, not leaving difficult.
How often will I receive profitability reports?
That depends on your package and what your business needs. Monthly management accounts — including profitability analysis — are included in the Scale package. Quarterly management accounts are included in the Grow package. More frequent reporting can be discussed during onboarding if your business requires it.
Can profitability analysis help with tax planning as well?
Understanding your margins is a useful starting point for tax planning — particularly around timing of expenditure, profit extraction strategies and whether your current business structure remains the most efficient. Where a profitability review surfaces planning opportunities, those are flagged proactively rather than saved for the year-end call.
