Ecommerce Accountant St Austell

Your ecommerce accounts, sorted.

Running an ecommerce business from St Austell means the same admin as any online seller — marketplace fees, payout reconciliation, VAT thresholds — with perhaps fewer local accountants who understand how it actually works. 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 returns and HMRC correspondence handled — less of that landing on your desk
  • An accountant who understands Shopify, Amazon and ecommerce from day one

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

Fast Work at Short Notice

Sound familiar?

Books behind, tax bill unknown, VAT threshold creeping closer?

The bigger an ecommerce store gets, the more the admin multiplies. Marketplace payouts that do not reconcile neatly, VAT obligations that arrive faster than expected, a tax return due with records that need serious work first. None of it is unusual. It is solvable — it just takes longer the more you leave it.

  • Hours lost trying to reconcile marketplace payouts against bank statements
  • No clear view of the tax bill until HMRC asks for payment
  • VAT threshold approaching without knowing how close it actually is

What sorted looks like

Marketplace transactions reconciled monthly, so nothing piles up. Tax position visible throughout the year, not just when the return is due. VAT monitored and filed quarterly — you will not cross the threshold without knowing about it first.

  • Marketplace payouts reconciled monthly — no year-end archaeology
  • Tax position visible well before HMRC asks for payment
  • VAT threshold monitored — no unexpected registration obligations
  • 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.

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 ecommerce platforms, marketplaces and VAT on digital sales actually work.

🛒

No explaining how ecommerce works

Platform fees, settlement reports, marketplace refunds, cross-border VAT — you will not spend ten minutes explaining your business model before getting a useful answer. We work with Shopify, Amazon, WooCommerce and eBay sellers regularly. 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 want to know whether a particular cost is deductible, 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 surprises, no invoice that arrives larger than expected. Your accounting costs are as predictable as your other fixed overheads.

Getting started

Up and running in four steps

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

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 slot.

2

A short discovery call

Around 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, what it costs and what happens next.

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 tax return — 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.

“Being a self employed stone mason sadly paper work is not my strong suit. And after a late cancellation from my normal accountant I had to find help. With late notice I contacted swift accounting and book keeping. Kieran was the person assigned to me to help with my tax return and at the start of Jan not much time to file my return before potential fines incurred. He went above an beyond to help good communication through emails an working even on a Saturday night to complete my return. I cannot thank him enough he made the process super easy an relaxed I will 100% be using them again in the future. Thank you.”

Questions

Questions ecommerce sellers usually ask first

Yes — you will not need to explain how your platform pays out before getting a useful answer. Marketplace fees, settlement reports, refund reversals and cross-border VAT 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 only at the end of it. Most clients have a clear picture three to four months before payment 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 before any work begins. 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.
