eCommerce Accountant Exeter

Your Exeter eCommerce accounts, sorted.

Running an eCommerce business in Exeter means the admin rarely stays simple. Platform fees, VAT thresholds, payout reconciliations — it adds up, and most of it is not what you started the business to do. Swift is cloud-based, so location is not a factor. 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 threshold monitored — no unexpected registration obligations
  • 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 admin eating into the margins?

The bigger your online store gets, the messier the numbers become. Platform fees that do not match your bank, a VAT threshold that is closer than you realised, a tax return due with records that have not been touched since last year. None of it is unusual — it is just considerably easier to fix the earlier you deal with it.

  • Hours lost trying to reconcile platform payouts against bank statements
  • No clear view of your tax position until the bill lands
  • VAT threshold creeping up without a clear picture of where you stand

What sorted looks like

Books reconciled every month, so the numbers are always current. Your tax liability visible throughout the year, not just when HMRC asks. VAT threshold tracked — you will know well in advance if registration is approaching.

  • Books reconciled monthly — no year-end archaeology required
  • Tax position visible throughout the year, not just at deadline
  • VAT position monitored — no registration surprises
  • One 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 core things that keep your eCommerce books clean, your tax position visible and your HMRC obligations handled — for one agreed monthly fee.

01

Bookkeeping and Platform Reconciliation

Every payout, marketplace fee, refund and charge reconciled monthly against your bank account. Your records are accurate and current, whether you sell on Shopify, Amazon, WooCommerce or multiple platforms at once. No year-end scramble — because there is nothing to catch up on.

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 position is tracked throughout the quarter — not assembled in a hurry at the deadline. If you are approaching the registration threshold, you will know before it becomes an obligation.

Quarterly, fixed fee
03

Corporation Tax and Annual Accounts

Year-end accounts, CT600 and Companies House confirmation statement handled as part of the service. Your tax liability becomes visible well before the deadline — no last-minute calculation, no surprise bill. Filed on time, every time.

No extras, no surprises

Why Swift

Why Exeter eCommerce sellers choose Swift

There is no shortage of accountants. Here is what is different about working with one who already knows how eCommerce platforms, payouts and marketplace VAT actually work.

🛒

No explaining how eCommerce works

Platform fees, settlement cycles, FBA charges, cross-border VAT on digital sales — you will not need to spend ten minutes briefing us before getting a useful answer. We work with online retailers and marketplace sellers 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 — answered. If you need to know whether a software subscription is deductible before the end of the day, you will have an 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 charge for asking a question. Your accounting costs are as predictable as any other fixed overhead in the business.

Getting started

Up and running in four steps

Four steps from 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 and responds the same day with a clear next step. No automated holding messages, no waiting three days to hear back.

2

A short discovery call

Twenty minutes to understand your setup, platforms, 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 proposals to follow up on later.

3

We handle the setup

Your Xero account is configured, your records are brought up to date and your platforms are connected. You do not need to do anything technically involved — just confirm you want to proceed and we take it from there.

4

Ongoing — nothing falls through

Monthly bookkeeping, quarterly VAT returns, annual accounts and corporation tax — handled as a matter of course. Your tax position is visible throughout the year. Surprises are largely avoidable when the books are 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 Exeter eCommerce sellers usually ask

Yes — you will not need to explain your settlement cycle or how platform fees are deducted before getting a useful answer. Marketplace fees, refunds, cross-border VAT on digital sales and multi-platform reconciliation are not unusual complexity for us. It is the type of work we do regularly.
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 sense of what they owe three to four months before the deadline — enough time to plan, not just react. It is not a guarantee, but it is considerably better than finding out in January.
It is the situation most people are in when they come to us. Getting up to date takes a little longer at the start and may cost slightly more — we will tell you that upfront before anything is agreed. Once the records are current, keeping them 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.
