Sound familiar?
Cloud software is there. The clarity still is not.
Xero or QuickBooks is connected, transactions are coming in — but the books are months behind, the VAT return is overdue, and you have no real idea what your tax bill will be. The software was supposed to make this easier. It does, once someone qualified is actually running it. The longer it sits unattended, the more work the catch-up becomes.
- Cloud software set up but books months behind and unreconciled
- No visibility on tax position until the bill lands — with little time to plan
- VAT deadlines, payroll and Companies House filings managed reactively, not proactively
What properly sorted looks like
Books reconciled and current every month — no backlog, no scramble. Your tax position visible well before any deadline arrives. VAT, payroll and statutory filings handled without you having to chase or remember.
- Books reconciled on Xero every month — no catching up at year-end
- Tax liability visible throughout the year, not just when HMRC writes
- VAT, payroll and filings handled proactively — nothing missed, nothing late
- One fixed monthly fee — no hourly billing, no invoice that surprises you

What your monthly fee covers
Three core things that keep your cloud accounts clean, your tax position clear and your admin managed — for one fixed monthly cost.
Monthly Bookkeeping on Xero
Your transactions are reconciled every month against your bank account, categorised correctly and kept current. No backlog builds, no year-end archaeology, and your records are ready whenever your accountant or HMRC needs them.
Included in every planVAT Returns and MTD Compliance
Quarterly VAT returns prepared from clean, current books and filed with HMRC under Making Tax Digital as standard. Your threshold is monitored — you will not find yourself unexpectedly registered, or unregistered when you should not be.
Quarterly, fixed feeYear-End Accounts and Corporation Tax
Annual accounts, CT600 and Companies House confirmation statement prepared and filed on time. Because your books are current throughout the year, your tax position is known well in advance — not worked out in a rush two weeks before the deadline.
No extras, no surprisesSmall 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.
Two Years In, Still Highly Recommending

Always One Click Away, Every Question Answered
“What a guy!! Excellent, fast and reliable. Kieran has been very professional, caring, patient and efficient throughout the entire process of building our company. He was always one click away from every possible question we could throw at him.”
Why clients choose Swift for cloud accounting
There is no shortage of accountants offering Xero. Here is what is different about working with one who is ICAEW chartered, responds the same day and charges a fixed fee.
Cloud accounting done properly
Connecting software is the easy part. What makes cloud accounting useful is clean, reconciled, current data — and someone qualified looking at it regularly. Your Xero account is maintained monthly, not glanced at once a year when the tax return is due.
Replies the same day
Questions get answered the day you ask them. Not logged, not passed to a junior, not sitting in a support queue. If you want to know whether a purchase is deductible, or what your VAT position looks like this quarter, you will have an answer before the end of the day.
One price, agreed upfront
Your monthly fee is fixed and does not move. No hourly billing, no unexpected invoice because you asked too many questions. Your accounting costs are as predictable as any other fixed overhead — which is, frankly, the way it should be.
Up and running in four steps
From first enquiry to everything being handled takes about a week. No complicated onboarding, no paperwork that needs a solicitor.
Send your enquiry
Fill in the form on this page. Kieran reads every enquiry personally and responds the same day with a clear next step. No automated holding messages, no waiting to be allocated to a team.
A short discovery call
Twenty minutes to understand your current setup, which software you are using and what needs sorting. By the end of the call you will know exactly what is covered and what it costs — no vague proposals sent three days later.
We handle the setup
Your Xero account is connected or configured, your records are brought up to date and HMRC authorisations are put in place. You confirm you want to proceed. Everything else is handled.
Ongoing — nothing falls through
Monthly bookkeeping, quarterly VAT, payroll, year-end accounts and corporation tax — 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.
“Kieran came recommended to us and for good reason. He was fast, professional and very patient when answering our long list of questions.”
Questions most people ask before getting started
