eCommerce Accountant Bideford

Your eCommerce accounts, sorted.

Running an eCommerce business means the accounting gets complicated faster than most people expect. Platform fees, VAT thresholds creeping closer, settlement reports that do not quite reconcile — the admin builds up. Fixed monthly fee, ICAEW chartered, same-day replies.

  • Clean, current books every month — no year-end scramble
  • Know your tax position well before HMRC sends the reminder
  • VAT and HMRC correspondence handled — less of it landing on your desk
  • An accountant who already knows how eCommerce platforms work

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

Always There for Every Question

“He was always one click away from every possible question we could throw at him.”

Sound familiar?

eCommerce books getting messier as the business grows?

The more platforms you sell on, the more complicated the records become. Payouts that do not reconcile against bank statements, a VAT threshold you are not entirely sure where you stand on, a tax return approaching with records that need serious work. None of it is unusual — it is just considerably easier to deal with when someone is keeping on top of it throughout the year rather than all at once.

  • Hours lost trying to reconcile platform payouts against bank statements
  • No clear picture of the tax position until the bill actually arrives
  • VAT threshold and HMRC obligations quietly becoming more complicated

What sorted looks like

Every platform payout reconciled monthly, so nothing is left to work out in a rush. Your tax position visible throughout the year, not just when it becomes urgent. VAT threshold monitored, returns filed — considerably less to think about.

  • Books reconciled every month — no year-end backlog to unpick
  • Tax position visible well before HMRC asks for payment
  • VAT obligations monitored and returns filed — less of that reaching you
  • 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 eCommerce books clean, your tax position visible and your platform admin manageable — for one fixed monthly fee.

01

Bookkeeping and Platform Reconciliation

Every payout, fee, refund and charge across your sales platforms reconciled monthly against your bank account. Your records are current and accurate throughout the year, which means the tax return is a straightforward exercise rather than a reconstruction project.

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 find yourself with a registration obligation you were not expecting.

Quarterly, fixed fee
03

Corporation Tax and Year-End Accounts

Annual accounts and CT600 prepared and filed on time, with no last-minute scramble. Your tax liability becomes visible well in advance of the deadline — long enough to plan, not just react.

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 retail operates.

🛒

No explaining how eCommerce works

Marketplace fees, settlement reports, platform refunds, VAT on cross-border sales — you will not spend ten minutes briefing us before getting a useful answer. We work with eCommerce sellers across Shopify, Amazon, WooCommerce and eBay every day. Ask a question, get an answer.

💬

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 piece of equipment is deductible or where you stand on the VAT threshold, you will know 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 charge for asking questions. Your accounting costs are as predictable as any other fixed overhead.

Getting started

Up and running in four steps

Four steps from first enquiry to everything being handled. No complicated onboarding, no forms that need a lawyer.

1

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 setup, current software and what needs sorting. By the end of the call you will know exactly what is covered and what it costs — no vague estimates.

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 much except confirm you want to proceed.

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 current.

Questions

Questions eCommerce sellers usually ask first

Yes — you will not need to explain how settlement reports work before getting a useful answer. FBA fees, referral charges, marketplace refunds, platform processing fees and cross-border VAT implications are all handled correctly as a matter of course. It is not unusual complexity for us.
Once your books are current, your tax liability becomes visible throughout the year rather than just at the end of it. Most clients have a reasonable idea of what they owe three to four months before the deadline — 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 looks like before you commit. 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 keeping than because leaving is inconvenient.
