Sound familiar?
Dropshipping profit harder to see than it should be?
The model is straightforward in theory — sell the goods, pass the order on, keep the margin. In practice, the bookkeeping is anything but. Platform fees, supplier payments, refunds, VAT on cross-border sales and a transaction volume that grows faster than your filing system. Most dropshippers reach a point where the numbers are running several months behind and no one is quite sure what the actual tax position is. It is solvable — it just takes longer the more you leave it.
- Supplier invoices, platform fees and refunds sitting unreconciled for months
- No clear picture of actual profit margins once all costs are accounted for
- VAT registration threshold approaching with no one monitoring it closely
What sorted looks like
Every transaction categorised and reconciled monthly — supplier costs, platform fees, refunds and all. Your true margin visible throughout the year, not pieced together in a rush before the return is due. VAT obligations tracked from day one so the threshold is never a surprise.
- Books reconciled monthly — supplier costs and fees all accounted for
- Actual profit margins clear and current, not estimated at year-end
- VAT threshold monitored continuously — no unexpected registration obligations
- One fixed monthly fee covering it all — no extra charges for questions

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 dropshipping books clean, your tax position visible and your admin manageable — for one fixed monthly fee.
Monthly Bookkeeping and Reconciliation
Every transaction across your sales platforms, supplier accounts and bank statements reconciled monthly on Xero. Your records are current, your figures are accurate, and there is no year-end archaeology to deal with. Supplier costs, platform fees and refunds all categorised correctly from the start.
Included as standardVAT Returns and MTD Compliance
Quarterly VAT returns prepared and filed with HMRC, Making Tax Digital compliant as standard. Your VAT registration threshold is monitored throughout the year — you will not cross it without knowing it is coming. Cross-border and international VAT considerations handled where relevant.
Quarterly, fixed feeCorporation Tax and Year-End Accounts
Annual accounts and CT600 prepared and filed with HMRC and Companies House. Because your books are kept current throughout the year, your tax liability is visible months before the deadline — not calculated the week before payment is due. No scramble, no surprises.
No extras, no surpriseseCommerce businesses across the UK trust 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 eCommerce businesses are structured.
No explaining how dropshipping works
Supplier pass-through costs, platform commission structures, thin margins and high transaction volumes — you will not need to spend the first call educating your accountant on the basics. We work with eCommerce and product-based businesses regularly. The questions you ask tend to be ones we have already answered for someone else.
Replies the same day
Questions get answered the day you ask them. Not logged, not queued, not passed down the chain — answered. If you want to know whether a fulfilment cost is deductible or how to treat a supplier credit note, you will know before the end of the day.
One price, agreed upfront
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 cost is as predictable as any other fixed overhead in the business.
Up and running in four steps
Four steps from enquiry to everything being handled. No complicated onboarding, no paperwork that requires a week to complete.
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
Twenty minutes to understand your current setup, sales platforms, transaction volume and what needs sorting. At the end of the call you will know exactly what is covered and what it costs — before committing to anything.
We handle the setup
Your Xero account is connected, your historical records are brought up to date and everything is configured correctly for your business model. You do not need to do anything except confirm you want to proceed.
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, your VAT obligations are monitored, and HMRC correspondence is someone else’s problem. You focus on the business.
“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.”
