Ecommerce Accountant Paignton

Your ecommerce accounts, sorted.

Running an online store means the admin rarely stays simple. Platform fees, VAT thresholds, reconciling payouts against bank statements — the backlog grows faster than most people expect. Fixed monthly fee, ICAEW chartered, same-day replies.

  • Clean, reconciled books every month — no year-end scramble
  • Your tax position visible well before HMRC asks for payment
  • VAT and HMRC correspondence handled — less of it reaches your inbox
  • An accountant who already understands 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 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

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 you get

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.

01

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 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 so registration, if it becomes necessary, is planned rather than reactive.

Quarterly, fixed fee
03

Corporation 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 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 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.

Getting started

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.

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 for a callback window.

2

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.

3

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.

4

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.

Questions

Questions ecommerce sellers usually ask first

Yes — you will not need to explain how Shopify, Amazon or WooCommerce settlements work before getting a useful answer. Platform fees, refunds, payment processor deductions and multi-currency payouts are all categorised correctly. It is not unusual complexity for us.
Once your books are current, your tax liability becomes visible throughout the year rather than landing as a surprise at year-end. Most clients have a reasonable picture of what they owe three to four months before it is due — enough time to plan rather than simply 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 upfront, 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 it than because leaving is inconvenient.
