Accountants For eCommerce

Your eCommerce accounts, sorted.

Most eCommerce businesses reach a point where the books are quietly getting behind. Platform fees, VAT thresholds, multiple sales channels — the admin compounds and rarely sorts itself. Fixed monthly fee, ICAEW chartered, same-day replies.

  • Platform records reconciled monthly — no year-end scramble through old reports
  • Tax position visible throughout the year, not just when the bill arrives
  • VAT obligations monitored — no unexpected registration surprises
  • An accountant who already knows how Shopify, Amazon and eBay work

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

Sound familiar?

eCommerce admin growing faster than your margins?

The bigger your store gets, the more the books fragment. Payouts across multiple platforms, fees that do not match what you expected, VAT thresholds moving closer in the background, and a tax return due with records that need serious work. None of it is unusual. It just gets harder to untangle the longer it sits.

  • Hours lost trying to reconcile platform payouts against bank statements
  • No real visibility on tax position until the bill is already overdue
  • VAT threshold creeping closer with no one tracking it in the background

What sorted looks like

Platform records reconciled every month, so nothing accumulates into a problem. Your tax position visible throughout the year rather than at the end of it. VAT obligations monitored, returns filed, and HMRC correspondence handled before it becomes urgent.

  • Platform records reconciled monthly — no year-end archaeology through old reports
  • Tax position clear well before HMRC asks for payment
  • VAT threshold monitored — no registration obligation arriving without warning
  • 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.

What you get

What your monthly fee covers

Three core things that keep your eCommerce books clean, your tax position clear and your admin off your plate — for one fixed monthly fee.

01

Bookkeeping and Platform Reconciliation

Every payout, fee, refund and adjustment across your sales channels reconciled monthly against your bank account. Your records are current, your numbers are accurate, and there is no scramble when the tax return comes around. Xero-based, cloud-accessible from day one.

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 — you will not wake up to a registration obligation you were not expecting. Cross-border sales handled where relevant.

Quarterly, fixed fee
03

Year-End Accounts and Corporation Tax

Annual accounts, CT600 and Companies House confirmation statement — all handled within your fixed monthly fee. Because the books are current throughout the year, your tax liability is visible well before the deadline. No last-minute scramble, no surprises.

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 retail works before you explain it.

🛒

No explaining how eCommerce works

Shopify payouts, Amazon FBA fees, referral charges, settlement reports, eBay managed payments, cross-border VAT — you will not need to spend the first ten minutes of every conversation explaining your business model. We work with online sellers every day. Ask a question, get a useful answer.

💬

Questions answered the same day

If you want to know whether a piece of equipment is deductible, or whether you are close to the VAT threshold, you will know before the end of the day. Not logged, not queued, not passed to a junior. Every review mentions responsiveness — it is not an accident.

🔒

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 every time you ask a question. 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 enquiry to everything being handled. No complicated onboarding, no jargon-heavy forms.

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.

2

A short discovery call

Twenty minutes to understand your sales channels, 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 Xero account is configured, your sales platforms connected and your records brought up to date. 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 throughout the year, not just at the end of it. Surprises are largely avoidable when the books are current.

Questions

Questions eCommerce sellers usually ask first

Yes — you will not need to explain settlement reports, FBA fee structures or how Shopify reconciles against your bank before getting a useful answer. These are standard for us. Marketplace fees, refunds, reimbursements and currency conversions are all categorised correctly from the start.
Once your books are current, your tax liability becomes visible throughout the year rather than just at the end. Most clients have a reasonable idea of what they owe three to four months before it is due — long enough to plan for it, not just react to it.
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 what that looks like 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.
