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
What eCommerce clients say about us
We work with online sellers across 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.

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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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 eCommerce sellers usually ask first
