Sound familiar?
Still not sure what your tax bill will be?
Self Assessment catches a lot of Paignton sole traders, landlords and directors off guard. The deadline arrives, the records are patchy, and the expenses you could have claimed months ago are now either forgotten or undocumented. It is not a crisis, but it is considerably more stressful than it needs to be.
- January deadline approaching with no clear figure in sight
- Allowable expenses missed because no one pointed them out earlier
- Unsure whether you are even registered correctly with HMRC
What a handled return looks like
Your return is prepared accurately, filed on time, and you know your tax liability well before HMRC sends a reminder. The expenses you are entitled to claim are claimed. The paperwork is handled.
- Tax bill confirmed months before the January filing deadline
- Allowable expenses reviewed and fully claimed on your behalf
- HMRC registration checked and return filed correctly from the outset
- Fixed fee agreed upfront — no surprise invoice after the work is done
What Paignton clients say about their returns
These are the kinds of outcomes you can expect — accurate returns, expenses genuinely reviewed, and no chasing for answers.
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!
What the Self Assessment service covers
A complete return service — not just filing. Expenses reviewed, liability confirmed, and HMRC correspondence handled if anything comes back.
Your Tax Bill, Early
Your liability is calculated and confirmed well ahead of the 31 January deadline, so you have time to budget for it rather than scrambling in January. No surprises, no last-minute panic.
Included as standardExpenses Reviewed and Claimed
Daniel reviews your income and outgoings to identify every allowable expense before the return is filed. Self-employed clients frequently discover claims they had overlooked — mileage, equipment, home working costs and more. What you are entitled to claim gets claimed.
Included as standardHMRC Registration and Compliance
If you are not yet registered for Self Assessment, that is handled first. Director returns, partnership returns and complex income streams — rental income, dividends, foreign income — are all within scope. Nothing is left for you to figure out with HMRC on your own.

Sole traders, landlords, limited company directors and contractors across Devon — here is what they found working with DG Accountancy.
Stressful Mortgage Process Made Much Easier
“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.”
Spoke Through Everything, Made It Clear
“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.”
Does My Accounts Every Year Without 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.”
Why Paignton clients choose DG Accountancy
There are plenty of accountants who will file your return. Fewer who will make sure it is right, explain what it means, and answer your questions the same day.
Your Expenses, Actually Reviewed
Many accountants file what you give them. Daniel reviews your income and expenditure properly — mileage, equipment, use of home, professional subscriptions — before submitting. The difference is often a meaningfully lower tax bill. Clients working across construction, hospitality, property and professional services regularly find claims they had not previously made.
Questions Answered the Same Day
DG Accountancy has built a reputation for fast, clear responses. You will not be left waiting three days for an answer to a simple question about your tax code or payment on account. If you ask during office hours, you hear back that day — in plain English, not accounting shorthand.
Complex Returns Handled Without Fuss
Director returns with salary and dividends, rental income alongside self-employment, capital gains from property sales — these are routine here. You will not need to explain the basics before getting a useful answer. Twenty years across multiple industries means Daniel has seen most income structures before.
Up and running in four straightforward steps
Most clients are fully onboarded within a week. The effort on your side is minimal — gathering your income records and a short conversation about your situation.
Book a free discovery call
A short conversation about your income sources, your current situation and what you need from an accountant. No sales pitch — just an honest discussion about whether it makes sense to work together.
Receive your fixed-fee quote
You will get a clear written quote tailored to your return complexity. Everything is agreed upfront — no hourly rate surprises once the work is underway.
Send across your records
You share your income and expense records via secure file transfer. If your records are incomplete or disorganised, that is dealt with — it is a common starting point, not a problem.
Return filed, tax confirmed
Your return is prepared, reviewed with you in plain English, and filed. You know exactly what you owe and when, with enough time to plan for it — which is, frankly, the way it should be.
“Excellent service providing financial accounts for probate. Quick, efficient and friendly. Would highly recommend.”
Things people usually ask before getting started
I have multiple income sources — self-employment, rental income and some dividends. Can you handle all of that in one return?
Yes. Returns with mixed income streams — self-employment alongside rental income, dividends from a limited company, savings interest or capital gains — are handled as standard. You will not need to find a specialist for each income type. Everything is included in the one return and one fixed fee.
What does a Self Assessment return cost, and what is included?
Sole trader returns start from £41 per month on a retained basis, with 50% off the first three months. One-off return pricing is also available — contact us for a quote based on your income sources and complexity. The fee covers preparation, review, filing with HMRC and a plain-English summary of your tax liability. There are no hidden hourly charges once work begins.
My records are in a bit of a state — receipts everywhere, nothing reconciled. Is that a problem?
It is a fairly common starting point, particularly for sole traders who have been managing their own books. Catch-up work is available to bring your records into order before the return is prepared. The cost depends on how much work is involved, and that is confirmed upfront before anything starts — no open-ended catch-up fees.
Do I have to sign a long-term contract?
No. There is no minimum-term commitment. Monthly clients can give a month’s notice and leave with clean, up-to-date records. For one-off returns, you pay for the return and that is it. The aim is to be worth keeping, not to make leaving difficult.
I have never filed a Self Assessment return before. Do I need to register with HMRC first?
If you are not already registered, that is the first step — and it is handled as part of the service. HMRC needs to issue a Unique Taxpayer Reference (UTR) before a return can be filed, which typically takes a few weeks. Getting that started early avoids any deadline pressure, and Daniel will walk you through what HMRC needs from you.
Can you help me reduce my tax bill, or is it just about filing what I already have?
Filing accurately is the baseline — but the review process looks at your allowable expenses, your use of home, mileage, equipment and any relief you may be entitled to before submission. Clients who have previously filed their own returns often find there were claims they had missed. The return is not just submitted as-is; it is reviewed first.
