eCommerce Accountant Barnstaple

Your eCommerce accounts, sorted.

Running an online store generates more accounting complexity than most people expect. Marketplace fees, platform payouts, VAT thresholds, cross-border sales — it adds up, and it gets harder to untangle the longer it sits. Fixed monthly fee, ICAEW chartered, same-day replies.

  • Clean, reconciled books every month — no year-end scramble
  • Your tax position visible throughout the year, not just at the deadline
  • VAT returns and HMRC correspondence handled — less of that reaching your desk
  • An accountant who already knows how eCommerce platforms pay out

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

Sound familiar?

eCommerce books piling up faster than orders?

The bigger your online store gets, the more complicated the accounting becomes. Payouts that do not match your bank statements, marketplace fees spread across multiple platforms, a VAT threshold closer than you realised, a tax return due with records that need serious attention. None of it is insurmountable — it just takes considerably longer the more you leave it.

  • Hours lost trying to reconcile platform payouts against bank statements
  • No clear picture of your tax position until the bill is already due
  • VAT threshold creeping closer with no one monitoring it on your behalf

What sorted looks like

Books reconciled monthly across every platform you sell on. Your tax liability visible throughout the year, not sprung on you in January. Your VAT threshold monitored — you will not wake up to a registration obligation you were not expecting.

  • Platform payouts reconciled monthly — no year-end archaeology required
  • Tax position known well before HMRC asks for payment
  • VAT threshold monitored and returns filed — nothing caught you off guard
  • One fixed monthly fee 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 clean, your tax position clear and your eCommerce admin manageable — for one fixed monthly fee.

01

Bookkeeping and Platform Reconciliation

Every payout, fee, refund and charge from your eCommerce platforms reconciled monthly against your bank account. Whether you sell on Shopify, Amazon, eBay or WooCommerce, your records are current and your numbers are accurate — no scramble when the tax return comes around.

Included as standard
02

VAT Returns and MTD Compliance

Quarterly VAT returns prepared and filed with HMRC, Making Tax Digital compliant as standard. Your VAT threshold is monitored throughout the year — you will not discover a registration obligation after the fact. Cross-border and marketplace VAT handled without you needing to brief anyone on how it works.

Quarterly, fixed fee
03

Corporation Tax and Annual Accounts

Your annual accounts, CT600 and Companies House confirmation statement handled in one fixed fee. Because your books are current throughout the year, your tax liability is known well in advance — no last-minute surprises, no unprepared conversations with HMRC.

No extras, no surprises

Why Swift

Why eCommerce sellers choose Swift

There is no shortage of accountants. Here is what is different about working with one who already understands how online selling actually works.

🛒

No explaining how eCommerce works

Marketplace fees, settlement reports, FBA charges, Shopify payouts, cross-border VAT — you will not need to spend ten minutes briefing anyone before getting a useful answer. We work with online sellers every day. Ask a question, get an answer that reflects how your business actually operates.

💬

Replies the same day

Questions get answered the day you ask them. Not logged, not queued, not passed to a junior. If you want to know whether a particular expense is deductible or how a marketplace refund should be treated, you will have a clear answer 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 extras for asking one too many questions. Your accounting costs are as predictable as any other fixed overhead — which is, frankly, the way it should be.

Getting started

Up and running in four steps

From first enquiry to everything being handled, the process is straightforward. No complicated onboarding, no forms that need a lawyer to decipher.

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 wait for the next available slot.

2

A short discovery call

Around twenty minutes to understand your setup — which platforms you sell on, what software you are using 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 follow up on.

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. The catch-up work is handled for you.

4

Ongoing — nothing falls through

Monthly bookkeeping, quarterly VAT, annual accounts and corporation tax — handled as a matter of course. You will know your tax position well before it becomes urgent. Surprises are largely avoidable when the books are kept current.

“One of the friendliest accounting companies I’ve ever spoken to. I was fairly stressed about all of the big terms HMRC use, but Kieran explained everything in the best possible way, told me the price they’d charge after 5 minutes of speaking.”

Questions

Questions eCommerce sellers usually ask first

Yes — you will not need to explain how any of it works before getting a useful answer. Settlement reports, marketplace fees, FBA charges, refund handling and cross-border VAT are all categorised correctly as standard. It is not unusual complexity for us.
Once your books are current, your tax liability becomes visible throughout the year rather than only at year-end. Most clients have a reasonable picture 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 exactly what that involves upfront, before you commit to anything. 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.
