Accounting for Shopify Sellers
Your Shopify accounting, properly handled.
Most Shopify sellers piece together accounting software and hope for the best. The result is Xero half-configured, sales not reconciling and no real idea what the tax bill will be. As a Xero Gold Partner, we set it up correctly, keep it current and handle everything that follows. Fixed monthly fee, ICAEW chartered, same-day replies.
- Shopify sales reconciled to your bank account every month
- Tax position visible throughout the year, not just when the bill arrives
- VAT returns prepared and filed correctly — MTD compliant as standard
- Xero set up and managed by a Gold Partner who knows eCommerce
No long-term contract. If it is not working after three months, you leave with clean books and nothing owed.

Sound familiar?
Shopify sales coming in, but your books not keeping up?
The bigger your Shopify store gets, the wider the gap between what is actually happening and what your accounting software shows. Sales not reconciling, VAT thresholds creeping closer than you realised, and a year-end tax return that will need serious work before anyone can file it. None of it is insurmountable — it just takes longer the more you leave it.
- Shopify payouts not reconciling against your bank statements each month
- No clear picture of your tax position until the return is already overdue
- Accounting software half-configured and not actually doing what it should
What properly sorted looks like
Shopify sales reconciled monthly so your records reflect reality. Your tax position visible throughout the year — not reconstructed at the end of it. Xero configured correctly from the start and kept that way by a Gold Partner who does this every day.
- Shopify sales reconciled to your bank account every single month
- Tax liability visible well before HMRC asks for payment
- Xero set up and managed correctly — no more guessing at settings
- A fixed monthly cost that does not change regardless of how many questions you ask
What Shopify sellers say about working with Swift
We work with eCommerce sellers across the UK. Here are two clients who came to us in a similar position to where you probably are now.
Swift accounting offers exceptional service and I would recommend them to any business looking to move to online accounting.
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 your monthly fee covers
Three things that keep your Shopify books clean, your tax position clear and your obligations to HMRC managed — for one fixed monthly fee.
Bookkeeping and Shopify Reconciliation
Your Shopify sales, refunds and fees reconciled to your bank account every month. Records are current, numbers are accurate, and there is no year-end scramble when the tax return comes around. Xero is configured to pull in your Shopify data cleanly — not patched together.
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 — you will not wake up to a registration obligation you were not expecting. Cross-border and digital sales handled correctly.
Quarterly, fixed feeYear-End Accounts and Corporation Tax
Annual accounts, CT600 and Companies House confirmation statement — all filed on time, no chasing required. Because your books are current throughout the year, the year-end process is straightforward rather than a reconstruction exercise. You know what you owe well before the deadline.
No extras, no surpriseseCommerce businesses across the UK trust Swift
Sole traders, limited companies and growing online retailers. Usually arriving with books in some state of disarray. Leaving with considerably less to worry about.

Why Shopify sellers choose Swift over other accountants
There is no shortage of accountants. Here is what is different about working with one who already knows how Shopify and eCommerce accounting works.
No explaining how Shopify works
Shopify payouts, platform fees, refund handling, inventory adjustments — you will not need to spend the first twenty minutes of every call explaining your business before getting a useful answer. We work with online retailers every day. The complexity of eCommerce bookkeeping is not unusual for us.
Answers the same day you ask
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 software subscription is deductible or how to treat a refund, you will know before the end of the working day.
One fixed price, agreed upfront
Your monthly fee is fixed and does not move. No hourly billing, no invoice that arrives larger than expected, no charge for an extra email. Your accounting costs are as predictable as your other fixed overheads — which is, frankly, the way it should be.
Up and running in four steps
Four steps from enquiry to everything being handled. No complicated onboarding, no forms that need a lawyer to understand.
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 for a reply.
A short discovery call
Twenty minutes to understand your Shopify setup, 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.
We handle the setup
Your Xero account is connected to Shopify, your 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 — 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.
“I’ve been using Swift Accounting for two years now after my previous accountant retired and recommended Kieran. Excellent and prompt service, great communications and above all really helpful. Highly recommend.”
