Dropshipping Accountant Bournemouth

Your dropshipping accounts, sorted.

Most dropshipping businesses in Bournemouth are carrying more accounting admin than they should. Supplier invoices, platform fees, VAT on imports and margins that are harder to track than they look — it adds up. 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 on cross-border purchases handled correctly from the start
  • An accountant who already knows how dropshipping margins and supplier costs work

Sound familiar?

Not entirely sure what your margin actually is?

Dropshipping looks straightforward until the numbers start stacking up — supplier costs in multiple currencies, platform fees taken before payout, VAT on imports that may or may not have been handled correctly, and a bank account that does not obviously reconcile to anything. Most dropshipping businesses carry this longer than they should. It is solvable — it just takes longer the more you leave it.

  • Supplier invoices, platform fees and payouts that never quite reconcile
  • No clear picture of actual margin once all costs are accounted for
  • VAT on imports and cross-border purchases that may not have been handled correctly

What sorted looks like

Every supplier invoice, platform fee and payout reconciled monthly so the numbers reflect reality. Margin visible throughout the year, not just when the tax return is due. VAT on cross-border purchases handled correctly — no catching up later.

  • Books reconciled monthly — supplier costs, fees and payouts all accounted for
  • Margin and tax position visible throughout the year, not just at year-end
  • VAT on imports handled correctly — no retrospective corrections needed
  • A fixed monthly cost that does not move regardless of how many questions you ask

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.

Why Swift

Why dropshipping businesses choose Swift

There is no shortage of accountants. Here is what is different about working with one who already knows how product-based eCommerce businesses operate.

📦

No explaining how dropshipping works

Supplier costs, platform fees, import VAT, payout timing differences — you will not need to spend the first call explaining your business model before getting a useful answer. We work with product-based eCommerce businesses 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 supplier cost is deductible or how to handle a VAT liability on an import, 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 surcharge for asking questions. Your accounting cost is as predictable as any other fixed overhead in the business.

Getting started

Up and running in four steps

Four steps from enquiry to everything being handled. No complicated onboarding, no paperwork that needs a lawyer to interpret.

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.

2

A short discovery call

Twenty minutes to understand your setup, current software and what needs sorting. At 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 accounting software is connected, your records are brought up to date and everything is configured correctly. 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 tax return — handled as a matter of course. Your margin is visible throughout the year, your tax position is known well in advance, and HMRC correspondence is someone else’s problem.

Questions

Questions dropshipping businesses usually ask first

Yes — you will not need to explain the business model before getting a useful answer. Supplier invoices in multiple currencies, platform fees deducted before payout, VAT on imports and the way margins compress when costs are properly accounted for are all familiar territory. It is not unusual complexity for us.
Once your books are current, your tax liability becomes visible throughout the year rather than just at the end of it. Most clients have a reasonable idea of what they owe three to four months before it is due — long enough to plan, not just react.
It is why most people come to us. Getting up to date takes a little longer at the start and may cost slightly more — we will tell you upfront before any work begins. Once current, keeping it current is straightforward.
No. Month-to-month, cancel with a month’s notice. We would rather keep clients because the service is worth it than because leaving is inconvenient.
