- Books current every month on Xero — no year-end scramble
- Tax position visible throughout the year, not just at deadline
- HMRC correspondence handled before it becomes a problem
- A named, chartered accountant — same person, every time you get in touch
No long-term contract. If it is not working after three months, you leave with clean books and nothing owed.

Still managing your books the slow way?
A lot of small business owners are running their accounts on spreadsheets, a desktop system from 2014 or not much at all. It works until VAT is due, year-end arrives or HMRC asks a question you cannot answer quickly. Cloud accounting on a properly maintained Xero file changes that — it is solvable, it just takes a little longer the more out of date things are.
- Books updated once a year in a panic rather than kept current monthly
- No clear picture of tax position until the bill actually arrives
- Accountant who is hard to reach, slow to reply and not particularly proactive
What sorted looks like
Your Xero file reconciled monthly, so the numbers are always accurate and accessible. Your tax position tracked throughout the year, not reconstructed from receipts in January. An accountant who replies the same day and flags things before they become problems.
- Xero reconciled monthly — books current, accurate and ready when needed
- Tax liability visible throughout the year — no end-of-year bill shock
- Same-day replies from a named accountant — not a helpdesk queue
- One fixed monthly cost — agreed upfront, no surprises on the invoice
What clients say about switching to Swift
We work with small businesses and sole traders across the UK. Here are two clients who made the move to cloud accounting and found it rather more straightforward than expected.

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
What your monthly fee covers
Three core areas that keep your books clean, your tax position clear and your compliance handled — for one fixed monthly fee, on Xero.
Cloud Bookkeeping on Xero
Your transactions are reconciled every month so the numbers are always current and accurate. Bank feeds connected, categories correct, records up to date — no scramble when VAT or year-end arrives.
Monthly, included as standardVAT Returns and MTD Compliance
Quarterly VAT returns prepared and filed with HMRC under Making Tax Digital. Your VAT position is reviewed before submission — no unexpected liabilities, no late filing penalties.
Quarterly, fixed feeYear-End Accounts and Corporation Tax
Annual accounts, CT600 and Companies House filing all handled in one fixed fee. Your tax bill is visible months before the deadline because the books are current throughout the year — not assembled in a hurry at the end.
Annual, no extrasSmall businesses across the UK trust Swift
Sole traders, limited companies and growing eCommerce businesses. Usually arriving with books in some state of disarray. Leaving with considerably less to worry about.
Excellent, Prompt Service — Great Communications
“Excellent and prompt service, great communications and above all really helpful. Highly recommend.”
Knowledgeable, Efficient — Tax Submitted Without Fuss
“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.”
On the Ball, Competitive Rates, Got It Done
“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 small businesses choose Swift
There is no shortage of accountants offering cloud services. Here is what is different about working with one who is chartered, responsive and already set up on Xero.
Xero Gold Partner from day one
Your Xero file is set up, connected and maintained correctly from the start — not handed to you and left to figure out. Bank feeds, VAT settings, chart of accounts — all configured for your type of business. You get the software working as it should, not just access to a login.
Replies the same day
Questions get answered the day you ask them. Not logged, not queued, not passed to a junior — answered. Whether it is a Xero query, a VAT question or a letter from HMRC, you will have a response before the end of the working day.
One price, clearly agreed
Your monthly fee is fixed and does not move. No hourly billing, no bolt-on charges for questions asked, no invoice that arrives larger than expected. Your accounting costs are as predictable as your other fixed overheads.
Up and running in four steps
From enquiry to everything being handled takes four steps and very little effort on your part. No complicated onboarding, no forms that need a lawyer.
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.

We handle the setup
Your Xero file is connected, 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 and corporation tax — handled as a matter of course. Your tax position is visible throughout the year. Surprises are largely avoidable when the books are current.
