Sound familiar?
Dropshipping margins look fine — but are they?
Once you factor in supplier invoices, returns, platform commissions, shipping costs and ad spend, the picture can look quite different on paper. For many dropshipping businesses in Truro, the books lag behind the actual sales — which means the tax position is never quite clear and year-end always arrives as a surprise. It is all solvable — it just takes longer the more you leave it.
- No clear picture of true profit after supplier costs, returns and fees
- VAT on imported goods and overseas sales handled incorrectly — or not at all
- Bookkeeping months behind with year-end approaching and records in disarray
What sorted looks like
Accurate monthly books that reflect actual margin, not just revenue. VAT on cross-border transactions accounted for correctly, with no unexpected registration surprises. Your tax position visible throughout the year so there is nothing to scramble for at the deadline.
- Books current every month — actual margin clear, not estimated
- VAT on imports and cross-border sales handled correctly as standard
- Year-end arrives with records already in order — no scramble required
- A fixed monthly cost that does not move however many questions you ask

Why dropshipping businesses choose Swift
There is no shortage of accountants. Here is what is different about working with one who already understands how dropshipping businesses operate.
No explaining how dropshipping works
Supplier lead times, split shipments, platform commissions, return rates, import duties — you will not need to spend the first ten minutes of every call explaining your business model. We work with product-based eCommerce businesses regularly. Ask a question, get a useful 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 invoice is deductible or how to account for a return, you will have clarity 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 extra charge for asking a question. Your accounting costs are 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 forms that need a lawyer to decipher.
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 whether you have been passed on.
A short discovery call
Around twenty minutes to understand your current setup, what platforms you sell on, how your suppliers are invoiced and what needs sorting. At 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 a dropshipping business. 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 true margin is visible, your tax position is known well before it becomes urgent, and HMRC is considerably less of a problem than it used to be.
