Sound familiar?
Ecommerce admin piling up alongside the actual business?
The bigger an online store gets, the more moving parts the bookkeeping has. Marketplace fees that do not reconcile cleanly, a VAT threshold that has been quietly approaching, a tax return due with records that have not been touched in months. None of it is catastrophic. It does, however, take considerably longer to sort the more it is left.
- Hours spent trying to reconcile platform payouts against bank statements
- No clear picture of the tax position until the bill actually arrives
- VAT threshold creeping closer with no one monitoring it
What sorted looks like
Books reconciled and current every month, regardless of how many platforms you sell on. Your tax liability visible throughout the year, not sprung on you at the end of it. VAT threshold monitored — you will not wake up to a registration obligation you were not expecting.
- Books reconciled monthly — no backlog, no year-end archaeology
- Tax position clear well before HMRC sends the reminder
- VAT threshold monitored so registration is planned, not a surprise
- A fixed monthly cost that does not move however many questions you ask
What ecommerce clients say about us
We work with online sellers at various stages of growth. 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.
What your monthly fee covers
Three things that keep your ecommerce books clean, your tax visible and your admin manageable — for one fixed monthly fee with no billing surprises.
Bookkeeping and Platform Reconciliation
Every payout, fee, refund and charge across your selling platforms reconciled monthly against your bank account. Your records are current and accurate when the tax return comes around — not something to dread.
Included as standardVAT 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 so registration, if it becomes necessary, is planned rather than reactive.
Quarterly, fixed feeCorporation Tax and Year-End Accounts
Annual accounts and CT600 prepared and filed on time. Because the books are current throughout the year, your tax liability is visible months before it is due — long enough to plan, not just pay.
No extras, no surprisesEcommerce businesses across the UK trust Swift
Online retailers, limited companies and growing ecommerce operations. Usually arriving with books in some state of disarray. Leaving with considerably less to worry about.
Switched Accountants and Already Saving Money
“Having only recently switched my business to Swift from another accountant, I have found them efficient, friendly and professional, and they’re already saving me money! Would recommend. Nic Paton, Cormorant Media”
Two Years In, Still Highly Recommending

Fast Work at Short Notice, Every Time
“Great work by Kieran sorting out my business accounts really fast and at short notice on multiple occasions. Many thanks and I would highly recommend them for all accounting needs.”
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 works before you explain it.
No explaining how it all works
Platform fees, marketplace settlement reports, cross-border VAT on digital sales, inventory costs — you will not need to spend ten minutes on background before getting a useful answer. We work with ecommerce sellers regularly. Ask a question, get an answer the same day.
Replies the same day
Questions get answered the day you ask them. Not logged, not queued, not passed along — answered. If you want to know whether a particular cost is deductible before making a decision, you will know before the end of the day.
One price, agreed in advance
Your monthly fee is fixed and does not move. No hourly billing, no invoice arriving larger than expected, no charge for the extra question you asked in October. Your accounting cost is as predictable as your other fixed overheads.
Up and running in four steps
Four steps from first enquiry to everything being handled. No complicated onboarding, no forms that require a degree to complete.
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 for a callback window.
A short discovery call
Twenty minutes to understand your setup, the platforms you sell on, your current software and what needs sorting. By the end of the call you will know exactly what is covered and what it costs — nothing left vague.
We handle the setup
Your accounting software is connected, records are brought up to date and everything is configured correctly. You do not need to do anything except confirm you want to proceed.
Ongoing — nothing falls through
Monthly bookkeeping, quarterly VAT, annual accounts and corporation tax — handled as a matter of course. Your tax position is visible well before it becomes urgent. Surprises are largely avoidable when the books are current.
“Kieran was really helpful and very knowledgeable with my circumstance, he gave me great advice and was very efficient with getting my tax’s submitted, really glad I found Swift and will definitely be using for future accounting.”
