Dropshipping Accountant Paignton

Your dropshipping accounts, sorted.

Dropshipping books have their own complications — supplier costs, platform fees, thin margins and VAT rules that change depending on where stock ships from. Most dropshippers manage the books themselves until it stops being practical. Fixed monthly fee, ICAEW chartered, same-day replies.

  • Clean, reconciled books every month — no end-of-year scramble
  • Tax position visible throughout the year, not just when the bill arrives
  • VAT and HMRC correspondence handled before it lands on your desk
  • An accountant who already understands how dropshipping income and costs work

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

Sound familiar?

Dropshipping numbers moving faster than your books?

The more suppliers, platforms and sales channels you add, the harder it becomes to know where you actually stand. Costs shift, margins compress and the VAT position quietly gets more complicated — especially once turnover starts to climb. The books rarely get sorted until there is a deadline pressing. That is manageable, but it is considerably easier to deal with before it compounds.

  • No clear picture of net profit once platform fees and supplier costs are stripped out
  • VAT threshold approaching without a reliable figure on taxable turnover
  • HMRC correspondence and filing deadlines handled in a rush at year-end

What sorted looks like

Books updated monthly so your margins are always visible. VAT position monitored throughout the year so the threshold does not catch you off guard. Tax return handled well before the deadline — filed accurately, not frantically.

  • Books reconciled monthly — net profit visible without the guesswork
  • VAT turnover monitored so the threshold is never a surprise
  • Year-end accounts and tax return handled in good time, not at the last moment
  • 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.

What you get

What your monthly fee covers

Three things that keep your books current, your tax position clear and your compliance handled — for one fixed monthly fee, agreed before you start.

01

Bookkeeping and Platform Reconciliation

Every sale, supplier payment, platform fee and refund reconciled monthly against your bank account. Your records are current and accurate throughout the year, not just at year-end when the pressure is on.

Included as standard
02

VAT Returns and MTD Compliance

Quarterly VAT returns prepared and filed with HMRC, Making Tax Digital compliant as standard. Your taxable turnover is monitored throughout the year — you will not cross the registration threshold without knowing it well in advance.

Quarterly, fixed fee
03

Year-End Accounts and Corporation Tax

Annual accounts, CT600 and Companies House confirmation statement prepared and filed on time. Your tax liability becomes visible months before it is due — long enough to plan, not just react.

No extras, no surprises

Why Swift

Why dropshipping businesses choose Swift

There is no shortage of accountants. Here is what is different about working with one who already understands how product-based online businesses are structured.

📦

No explaining how dropshipping works

Platform fees, supplier costs, thin margins, cross-border VAT — 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 a straight 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 particular supplier cost is deductible before you commit to it, 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 charge for asking a question. Your accounting costs are as predictable as any other fixed overhead.

Getting started

Up and running in four steps

Four steps from first contact to everything being handled. No complicated onboarding, no forms that need a specialist to complete.

1

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 waiting to hear if someone will take you on.

2

A short discovery call

Twenty minutes to understand your setup, current platforms, bookkeeping state and what needs sorting. By the end of the call you will know exactly what is covered and what it costs — no vague proposals to wait for.

3

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 complicated — confirm you want to proceed and the rest is handled.

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 well before it becomes urgent. Surprises are largely avoidable when the books are current.

Questions

Questions dropshipping businesses usually ask first

Yes — you will not need to explain the business model before getting a useful answer. Supplier invoices, platform commissions, cost of goods and net margin visibility are all part of what we handle. It is not unusual complexity for us.
Once your books are current, your tax liability is visible throughout the year rather than only at year-end. Most clients have a reasonable working figure three to four months before it is due — long enough to set funds aside rather than scramble.
It is the most common reason people come to us. Getting up to date takes a little longer at the start and may cost slightly more — we will tell you exactly what that looks like upfront, before you commit to anything. Once current, keeping it current is straightforward.
No. Month-to-month, with a month’s notice to leave. We would rather keep clients because the service is worth staying for than because leaving is inconvenient.
