Not sure where your cash will be next quarter?
Most small business owners near Exeter are running the business on gut feel and a bank balance. The bank balance tells you what happened — not what is coming. A tax bill lands in January. A slow month in March catches you short. A supplier asks for payment upfront and the timing is awkward. None of these are disasters. But they are considerably less stressful when you can see them six weeks out rather than six days.
- No forward visibility on cash — reacting to the balance rather than planning ahead
- Tax bills arriving as a surprise because the year-end position was never tracked
- Books too out of date to produce a forecast that is worth anything
What a working forecast actually looks like
Current books, updated monthly, feed a rolling forecast so you can see cash movements before they happen. Your tax liability is visible throughout the year, not just when HMRC sends the calculation. And the numbers are maintained by someone who knows the business — not rebuilt from scratch every six months.
- Rolling cash flow forecast built from books that are clean and current
- Tax position tracked through the year — no surprises when the bill arrives
- Bookkeeping brought up to date first, so the forecast is based on real numbers
- A fixed monthly cost so your accounting overhead is as predictable as the forecast
What clients near Devon say about Swift
We work with small limited companies and growing businesses across Devon and the UK. Two clients who came to us wanting more clarity on where their money was going.
Having only recently switched my business to Swift from another accountant, I have found them efficient, friendly and professional, and they’re already saving me money! Would recommend. Nic Paton, Cormorant Media
What a guy!! Excellent, fast and reliable. Kieran has been very professional, caring, patient and efficient throughout the entire process of building our company. He was always one click away from every possible question we could throw at him.
What your monthly fee covers
Three things that give you forward visibility on cash, a clear tax position throughout the year, and clean records you can actually plan from.
Cash Flow Forecasting and Planning
A rolling cash flow forecast updated from your current books — not a spreadsheet built once and never touched again. You can see where the gaps are before they open, plan around large payments and make decisions with numbers rather than estimates.
Updated monthlyBookkeeping and Management Accounts
A forecast is only as useful as the books behind it. Monthly bookkeeping on Xero keeps your records accurate and current. Quarterly management summaries mean you always know where the business stands financially — not just at year end.
The foundation of a useful forecastCorporation Tax and Year-End Accounts
Your annual accounts and CT600 handled as part of the same fixed fee. Because your books are maintained throughout the year, your tax position is visible well before the deadline — long enough to plan for it, not just pay it.
No extras, no surprisesSmall businesses across Devon trust Swift

Why businesses near Exeter choose Swift
There is no shortage of accountants in Devon. Here is what is different about working with one who builds forecasts from books that are actually maintained.
Forecasts built on current numbers
A cash flow forecast is only worth having if the books behind it are accurate and up to date. Monthly bookkeeping on Xero means the forecast reflects what is actually happening in the business, not what was happening three months ago. You can plan from it rather than discount it.
Questions answered the day you ask
If the forecast throws up a question — an unexpected dip, an unfamiliar charge, a decision about timing a payment — you will have an answer before the end of the day. Not logged, not queued, not passed along. Kieran reads every message and replies the same day.
One fixed price, agreed upfront
Your monthly fee covers bookkeeping, forecasting, management accounts and year-end. It does not move based on how many questions you ask or how many months of catch-up are involved. Your accounting cost is as predictable as the forecast itself.
Up and running in four steps
From first enquiry to a working forecast takes less than you probably think. No complicated onboarding, no long list of things you need to prepare.
Send your enquiry
Fill in the form on this page with a brief outline of where you are. Kieran reads every enquiry and responds the same day with a clear next step. No automated holding messages, no waiting to be assigned to someone.
A short discovery call
Around twenty minutes to understand your business, your current software and what the books look like right now. At the end of the call you will know exactly what is covered, what it costs and what happens next.
We handle the setup
Your accounting software is connected, any catch-up bookkeeping is completed and your records are brought current. You do not need to prepare anything in advance — that is the point of the catch-up.
Ongoing — nothing falls through
From here, your books are maintained monthly, your forecast is updated, and your tax position is visible throughout the year. Decisions that used to require guesswork are made with numbers. Surprises are largely avoidable when the books are current.
“Kieran came recommended to us and for good reason. He was fast, professional and very patient when answering our long list of questions.”
