Contracting admin eating into the hours you bill for?
Running a limited company as a contractor around Plymouth means keeping on top of payroll, VAT, corporation tax and Companies House — on top of the actual work. Most contractors manage it themselves until they realise how much time it takes, or until something gets missed. It is all manageable — it just takes longer the more you leave it.
- Director payroll set up incorrectly, or not set up at all
- No clear view of the tax bill until the accountant calls with a number
- Companies House and HMRC deadlines that sneak up without a system in place
What sorted looks like
Payroll and dividend drawn correctly every month. Your corporation tax liability visible throughout the year, not just at year-end. Statutory deadlines handled before they become a problem.
- Director payroll and dividends structured correctly from the outset
- Tax position visible months before the bill is due — time to plan, not react
- Companies House and HMRC filings handled on time, every time
- One fixed monthly cost that covers everything — no surprise invoices

Why contractors near Plymouth choose Swift
There is no shortage of accountants in the South West. Here is what is different about working with one who already understands how limited company contracting works.
No explaining how contracting works
Director salary optimisation, dividend versus salary trade-offs, IR35 awareness, off-payroll working rules — you will not need to spend the first call briefing your accountant on how your business is structured. We work with contractors and limited company owners every day. The questions you have are the ones we are already expecting.
Replies the same day
Questions get answered the day you ask them. Not queued, not passed on, not replied to three days later with a holding message. If you want to know whether a piece of equipment is deductible before you buy it, you will know before the end of the day.
One price, clearly agreed
Your monthly fee is fixed and does not move. No hourly billing, no invoice that arrives larger than expected, no charge for a quick question. Your accounting costs are as predictable as any other fixed overhead in your business.
Up and running in four steps
Four steps from enquiry to everything being handled. No complicated onboarding, no forms that need a lawyer to decipher.
Send your enquiry
Fill in the form on this page. Kieran reads every enquiry and responds the same day with a clear next step. No automated holding messages, no waiting.
A short discovery call
Twenty minutes to understand your company setup, current software and what needs sorting. By the end of the call you will know exactly what is covered and what it costs — no vague estimates.
We handle the setup
Your Xero account is connected, your records are brought up to date and payroll is configured. You do not need to do anything except confirm you want to proceed.
Ongoing — nothing falls through
Monthly payroll, quarterly VAT, year-end accounts and corporation tax — handled as a matter of course. You will know your tax position well before it becomes urgent. Surprises are largely avoidable when the books are current.
