Etsy Seller Accounting
Your Etsy accounts, sorted.
Running an Etsy shop is straightforward until the books are not. Listing fees, transaction charges, payment processing costs and a VAT threshold that moves without warning — the admin builds quietly, and the bigger the shop gets, the messier it becomes. Fixed monthly fee, ICAEW chartered, same-day replies.
- Clean, current books every month — no year-end scramble
- Know your tax position well before HMRC sends the reminder
- VAT registration threshold monitored — no unwelcome surprises
- An accountant who already understands Etsy fees, payouts and eCommerce from day one
No long-term contract. If it is not working after three months, you leave with clean books and nothing owed.

Sound familiar?
Etsy fees adding up — and the books getting further behind?
Running an Etsy shop is manageable until the records are not. Listing fees, transaction charges and Etsy Payments settlements do not reconcile themselves, and a VAT threshold has a habit of arriving closer than expected. A tax return comes around faster than the bookkeeping was prepared for. None of it is especially complicated — it just takes longer the more you leave it.
- Hours lost trying to match Etsy payouts against bank statements each month
- No clear view of your tax position until the return is due and overdue
- VAT threshold approaching with no one monitoring how close you actually are
What sorted looks like
Etsy payouts and fees reconciled monthly against your bank account. Your tax liability visible throughout the year, not just at the end of it. VAT threshold monitored as a matter of course — no unexpected registration obligations.
- Etsy payouts and fees reconciled every month — no year-end archaeology
- Tax position visible well before HMRC asks for payment
- VAT threshold monitored — you will not be caught off guard
- Fixed monthly cost that does not move regardless of how many questions you ask
What Etsy sellers say about us
We work with eCommerce sellers and small business owners across the UK. Here are two clients who came to us in much the same situation you are probably in now.
Kieran at Swift is super! He helped and bailed me out of the last minute panic of tax and Companies House returns. He’s on the ball, quick at responding, patient with me and got the job done stress free, plus his rates are very competitive.
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.

Why Etsy sellers choose Swift
There is no shortage of accountants. Here is what is different about working with one who already knows how eCommerce works.
No explaining how Etsy works
Listing fees, transaction charges, Etsy Payments settlements, offsite ad costs — you will not need to spend ten minutes explaining your business before getting a useful answer. We work with online sellers every day. Ask a question, get an answer.
Replies the same day
Questions get answered the day you ask them. Not logged, not queued, not passed to a junior — answered. If you want to know whether a piece of equipment or materials is deductible, 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 surprises, no invoice that arrives larger than expected. Your accounting costs are as predictable as your other fixed overheads.
Up and running in four steps
Four steps from enquiry to everything being handled. No complicated onboarding, no forms that need a lawyer.

“Kieran and Swift have been an invaluable asset to me and my business. Kieran provided excellent 1:1 training for Quickbooks, which allowed me to gain confidence about my bookkeeping. More recently he has submitted my self-assessment tax return.”
