Not quite sure where your margins actually went?
Dropshipping can look profitable on the surface until you sit down with the numbers. Platform fees, supplier invoices, import duty, VAT on sales — it all needs to be accounted for separately and correctly. Most dropshipping businesses are making decisions based on rough estimates rather than actual figures. That is manageable early on. It gets more complicated the longer the books are left.
- Hours lost trying to match supplier costs and platform payouts to bank statements
- No clear picture of actual profit once fees, VAT and stock costs are factored in
- VAT on imports and cross-border sales handled inconsistently — or not at all
What sorted looks like
Supplier invoices, platform fees and sales receipts reconciled monthly so your margins are visible. Your tax position updated throughout the year, not just when the return is due. Import VAT and sales VAT handled correctly and filed on time.
- Books reconciled monthly — supplier costs, fees and sales all matched
- Actual profit visible throughout the year, not just at year-end
- Import VAT and sales VAT handled correctly and filed on time
- A fixed monthly cost that does not move regardless of how many questions you ask
What dropshipping clients say about Swift
We work with eCommerce and product businesses across Devon and 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.
What your monthly fee covers
Three things that keep your books accurate, your tax position clear and your VAT obligations handled — for one fixed monthly fee.
Bookkeeping and Margin Reconciliation
Every supplier invoice, platform fee, refund and payout matched to your bank account each month. Your records are current, your actual margins are visible, and there is nothing to untangle when the tax return comes around.
Included as standardVAT Returns and Import VAT
Quarterly VAT returns prepared and filed with HMRC, Making Tax Digital compliant as standard. Import VAT on goods sourced from abroad is categorised correctly — one less thing to get wrong as the business scales.
Quarterly, fixed feeCorporation Tax and Year-End Accounts
Annual accounts and CT600 prepared and filed on time. Your tax liability becomes visible throughout the year so you are planning ahead, not reacting to a bill that has just landed.

Why dropshipping businesses choose Swift
There is no shortage of accountants in Devon. Here is what is different about working with one who already understands how dropshipping businesses are structured and where the numbers tend to go wrong.
No explaining how dropshipping works
Supplier invoices, fulfilment costs, platform commission, import duty, cross-border VAT — you will not spend the first twenty minutes of every call explaining your business model. We work with product and eCommerce businesses regularly. The terminology is familiar before you start.
Replies the same day
Questions get answered the day you ask them. Not logged in a ticket system, not passed to a junior — answered. If you want to know whether a supplier cost is deductible or how to treat an import VAT charge, you will know before the end of the day.
One price, clearly agreed
Your monthly fee is fixed before you start and does not move. No hourly billing, no invoice that arrives larger than expected, no charges for picking up the phone. Your accounting costs are as predictable as any other fixed overhead.
Up and running in four steps
Four steps from first enquiry to everything being handled. No complicated onboarding, no forms that require a solicitor.
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.
A short discovery call
Around twenty minutes to understand your setup, what platforms you sell through, where the books currently stand and what needs sorting. By the end of the call you will know exactly what is covered and what it costs.
We handle the setup
Your accounting software is connected, your records are brought up to date and everything is configured correctly for your business. You confirm you want to proceed — we take it from there.
Ongoing — nothing falls through
Monthly bookkeeping, quarterly VAT returns, annual accounts and corporation tax — handled as a matter of course. Your tax position is visible throughout the year, your margins are accurate every month, and HMRC correspondence is, largely, someone else’s problem.
“Kieran was really helpful and very knowledgeable with my circumstance, he gave me great advice and was very efficient with getting my tax’s submitted, really glad I found Swift and will definitely be using for future accounting.”
