Small Business Accountant

Your small business accounts, sorted.

Most small business owners spend more evenings on the books than they planned to. Records fall behind, the tax bill arrives before the savings do, and HMRC correspondence becomes somebody else’s problem — except it is yours. 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
  • HMRC and Companies House filings handled — less of that landing on your desk
  • A named chartered accountant who responds the day you ask

No long-term contract. If it is not working after three months, you leave with clean books and nothing owed.

Sound familiar?

Still running the books alongside the actual business?

Most small business owners start doing their own bookkeeping because it seems manageable. Over time it becomes the thing that gets pushed to Sunday evenings and January panics. Records drift behind, the year-end arrives with more work than expected, and the tax bill is a number you find out about rather than plan for. It is all solvable — it just takes longer the more you leave it.

  • Records falling behind and a year-end that arrives as a scramble
  • No clear picture of the tax bill until it is too late to plan for it
  • HMRC letters, Companies House deadlines and VAT returns competing for your attention

What sorted looks like

Books reconciled and current every month. Your tax liability visible throughout the year, not sprung on you at the deadline. Companies House, HMRC and VAT all handled without you needing to chase the calendar.

  • Books clean and reconciled monthly — no year-end archaeology
  • Tax position visible well before HMRC asks for payment
  • Companies House, VAT and HMRC filings handled as a matter of course
  • One fixed monthly cost that does not move regardless of how many questions you ask

When I needed information on Accounting for my business, Kieran was the man. As a newly established business, the accounts can seem very daunting, but Kieran very kindly answered all my questions and helped me understand the processes.

Why Swift

Why small businesses choose Swift

There is no shortage of accountants. Here is what is different about working with one who responds the same day, charges a fixed fee and already understands how small limited companies work.

🧾

A named accountant, not a queue

Every client works directly with Kieran Stocker, ACA — ICAEW chartered and Xero Gold Partner. There is no rota of juniors, no case numbers to quote when you call. You ask a question, the person who knows your accounts answers it.

💬

Replies the same day

Questions get answered the day you ask them. Not logged, not forwarded, not held in a queue until the next available slot. If you want to know whether an expense is deductible or what your estimated tax liability is, you will know before the end of the day.

🔒

One price, clearly agreed

Your monthly fee is fixed and does not move with the volume of work or the number of questions you ask. No hourly billing, no unexpected invoices, no end-of-year surprises. Your accounting cost sits alongside your other fixed overheads — predictable and agreed upfront.

Getting started

Up and running in four steps

Four steps from first enquiry to everything being handled. No complicated onboarding, no forms that need a lawyer to decode.

1

Send your enquiry

Fill in the form on this page. Kieran reads every enquiry personally and responds the same day with a clear next step. No automated holding messages, no waiting to be assigned to someone.

2

A short call to understand your setup

Twenty minutes to go through your current situation, what software you use and what needs sorting. By the end of the call you will know exactly what is covered, what it costs and what happens next.

3

We handle the setup

Your Xero account is configured, your records are brought up to date and everything is connected. The parts you have been putting off are handled from day one. You do not need to do anything except confirm you want to proceed.

4

Ongoing — nothing falls through

Monthly bookkeeping, quarterly VAT, annual accounts and corporation tax — handled as a matter of course. Your tax position is visible throughout the year rather than revealed at the deadline. Surprises are largely avoidable when the books are current.

Questions

Questions small business owners usually ask first

It is the reason most people come to us. Catching up takes a little longer at the start and may cost slightly more — we will tell you upfront before any work begins. Once your records are current, keeping them current is straightforward.
Once your books are up to date, your tax liability becomes visible throughout the year rather than arriving as a number at the deadline. Most clients have a reasonable estimate three to four months before it is due — long enough to plan, not just react.
No. Your accounting software is set up and managed as part of the service. You will be shown what you need to see to stay informed, without needing to become a bookkeeper yourself.
No. Month-to-month, with a month’s notice to leave. We would rather keep clients because the service is worth it than because leaving is inconvenient.
