eCommerce Accountant Dorset

Your Dorset eCommerce accounts, sorted.

Running an eCommerce business from Dorset means the same VAT thresholds, marketplace fees and year-end obligations as anywhere else — just without a local accountant who understands how the platforms actually work. Swift is fully cloud-based, ICAEW chartered, fixed monthly fee, same-day replies.

  • Clean, reconciled books every month — no year-end scramble
  • Your tax position visible well before HMRC sends the reminder
  • VAT returns filed and MTD compliant — less of that landing on your desk
  • An accountant who already knows how Shopify, Amazon and WooCommerce work

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

Always One Click Away

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

Sound familiar?

Selling online from Dorset — and drowning in the admin?

The bigger your eCommerce operation gets, the more the books sprawl. Payout reports that do not match your bank balance, a VAT threshold closer than you realised, and a year-end return waiting on records that have not been touched in months. None of it is unsolvable — it just takes longer the more you leave it.

  • Hours lost trying to reconcile marketplace payouts against your bank
  • No clear picture of your tax bill until HMRC is already asking
  • VAT registration creeping up without anyone monitoring the threshold

What sorted looks like

Books reconciled monthly, so payout discrepancies get caught early rather than at year-end. Your tax position in view throughout the year, not just when the deadline arrives. VAT threshold monitored continuously — you will not cross it without knowing.

  • Books reconciled monthly — no year-end pile of unmatched payouts
  • Tax position visible throughout the year, not just when it is urgent
  • VAT threshold monitored — you will not cross it without warning
  • One fixed monthly cost, agreed upfront, 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 clear, and your VAT obligations managed — for one fixed monthly cost.

01

Bookkeeping and Platform Reconciliation

Every payout, fee, refund and charge from your sales platforms reconciled monthly against your bank account. Your records are current and accurate, so there is no scramble when the tax return comes around and no guessing at year-end.

Included as standard
02

VAT Returns and MTD Compliance

Quarterly VAT returns prepared and filed with HMRC, Making Tax Digital compliant as standard. Cross-border VAT, marketplace VAT and threshold monitoring are all part of the picture — not bolted on as extras.

Quarterly, fixed fee
03

Corporation Tax and Year-End Accounts

Annual accounts and CT600 prepared and filed on time, with your tax liability visible well before the deadline. No surprise bill in January — you will know where you stand with enough time to do something about it.

No extras, no surprises
What clients say

Why Swift

Why eCommerce sellers in Dorset choose Swift

There is no shortage of accountants. Here is what is different about working with one who already knows how online retail works before you say a word.

🛒

No explaining how your platforms work

Shopify payouts, Amazon FBA fees, WooCommerce settlement reports, eBay fee structures — you will not need to spend ten minutes briefing us on how your business operates before getting a useful answer. We work with eCommerce sellers regularly. The platform admin is familiar territory.

💬

Questions answered 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 particular cost is deductible, or whether you are approaching the VAT threshold, you will know before the end of the day.

🔒

One price, fixed and agreed upfront

Your monthly fee is fixed and does not move. No hourly billing, no invoice that arrives larger than discussed, no add-ons that appear mid-year. Your accounting costs are as predictable as your other fixed overheads — which is, frankly, the way it should be.

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 to interpret.

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, no waiting to be assigned to someone.

2

A short discovery call

Around twenty minutes to understand your current setup, which platforms you sell on, and what needs sorting. By the end of the call you will know exactly what is covered and what it costs — no vague follow-up emails.

3

We handle the setup

Your accounting software is connected, your records are brought up to date, and everything is configured. You do not need to do much except confirm you want to proceed. The catch-up, if there is one, is handled.

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 your platforms pay out before getting a useful answer. FBA fees, referral charges, Shopify payment settlements, WooCommerce gateway deductions — these are categorised correctly from the start. It is not unusual complexity for us.
Once your books are current, your tax liability becomes visible throughout the year rather than only at the end of it. Most clients have a reasonable sense 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 upfront exactly what that looks like. 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.
