Online Accountant for Small Businesses
Your accounts, handled remotely.
Running a small business means the accounts are always someone’s job — and it usually ends up being yours. Between VAT returns, year-end filings and keeping the books current, the admin accumulates. An online accountant means it is all handled without you needing to be in the same postcode. Fixed monthly fee, ICAEW chartered, same-day replies.
- Books clean and current every month — no year-end scramble
- Tax position visible throughout the year, not just when HMRC writes
- VAT returns, payroll and Companies House filings all handled as standard
- Questions answered the day you ask them — by the same person, every time
No long-term contract. If it is not working after three months, you leave with clean books and nothing owed.

Sound familiar?
Still doing your own accounts because it feels easier?
For a while, handling it yourself makes sense. Then the business grows, the VAT threshold gets closer, the year-end comes around faster than expected and the spreadsheet that was just about manageable is no longer quite keeping up. It is all solvable — it just takes longer the more you leave it.
- Hours spent on bookkeeping that should be spent on the actual business
- No clear picture of the tax position until the bill is already due
- HMRC correspondence and filing deadlines that sit on the to-do list getting more urgent
What sorted looks like
Bookkeeping handled monthly so the numbers are always current. Tax position visible throughout the year — not just at the end of it. Deadlines and correspondence managed before they become a problem.
- Monthly bookkeeping done for you — books clean, numbers accurate
- Tax position clear well before HMRC sends the reminder
- Filings and correspondence handled — less of it lands on your desk
- One fixed monthly cost, agreed upfront, that does not move

What your monthly fee covers
Three things that keep your records clean, your tax position visible and your obligations met — all for one fixed monthly cost.
Bookkeeping and Reconciliation
Your transactions are categorised, reconciled and up to date every month. No year-end scramble to find receipts or piece together twelve months of bank statements. The numbers are always current, which means decisions and tax planning are based on accurate information.
Included as standardVAT Returns and MTD Compliance
Quarterly VAT returns prepared and filed with HMRC as a matter of course. Making Tax Digital compliant from day one — you do not need to think about it. If your turnover is approaching the registration threshold, you will know before it becomes an obligation.
Quarterly, fixed feeYear-End Accounts and Corporation Tax
Annual accounts and CT600 filed with HMRC and Companies House. Your tax liability is visible throughout the year so there are no surprises when the bill is due. Everything is handled under one fixed fee — no add-ons for routine filings.

“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 small businesses choose Swift
There is no shortage of accountants. Here is what is different about working with one who is chartered, cloud-based and available the day you need them.
Replies the same day
Questions get answered the day you ask them. Not logged in a helpdesk, not queued for a monthly call — answered. Whether you want to know if a purchase is deductible or what your current tax position looks like, you will hear back 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 picking up the phone. Your accounting costs are as predictable as any other fixed overhead.
ICAEW chartered — not just registered
Kieran is an ICAEW chartered accountant and Xero Gold Partner. That is a meaningful distinction: chartered status requires ongoing professional development, adherence to professional standards and regulatory oversight. You are not dealing with an unqualified bookkeeper who files returns on the side.
Up and running in four steps
From first enquiry to everything being handled takes a matter of days. No complicated onboarding, no forms that need a lawyer to understand.
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 being passed around.
A short discovery call
Around twenty minutes to understand your business, your current setup and what needs sorting. By 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, records are brought up to date and everything is configured correctly. You do not need to do anything except confirm you want to proceed.
Ongoing — nothing falls through
Monthly bookkeeping, quarterly VAT, year-end accounts and corporation tax — all handled as a matter of course. Your tax position is visible throughout the year. 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.”
