Cloud Bookkeeper for Small Businesses

Your bookkeeping, handled in the cloud.

Running your own books takes time most small business owners do not have. The further behind the records fall, the more complicated they are to untangle. Cloud bookkeeping on Xero keeps everything current, your tax position visible and year-end unremarkable. Fixed monthly fee, ICAEW chartered, same-day replies.

  • Clean, current books every month — no year-end scramble to catch up
  • Your tax position visible throughout the year, not just when the bill arrives
  • VAT returns and HMRC correspondence handled — less of that reaching your desk
  • A named, qualified accountant who responds the day you ask

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

Sound familiar?

Books behind, numbers unclear, year-end looming?

Most small business owners start keeping their own records and manage fine — until they do not. A few busy months, a missed reconciliation, a VAT quarter left unreconciled, and suddenly the books are months behind and the tax position is anyone’s guess. It is solvable. It just takes longer the more you leave it.

  • Records months behind with no clear picture of what is owed
  • No idea what the tax bill will be until it is already due
  • Hours spent on bookkeeping that keep ending without a reliable result

What sorted looks like

Records brought up to date and kept that way every month on Xero. Your tax position becomes visible throughout the year rather than arriving as a surprise. Bookkeeping moves off your plate for good.

  • Books reconciled monthly — no catching up, no year-end archaeology
  • Tax position visible well before HMRC sends the reminder
  • Bookkeeping off your plate — a fixed monthly cost, agreed upfront
  • A chartered accountant available the same day you have a question

We work with small limited companies and sole traders across the UK. Here are two who came to us with books in much the same state you are probably in now.

Kieran and Swift have been an invaluable asset to me and my business. Kieran provided excellent 1:1 training for Quickbooks, which allowed me to gain confidence about my bookkeeping. More recently he has submitted my self-assessment tax return.

What you get

What your monthly fee covers

Three things that keep your records clean, your tax position clear and your filing obligations met — for one fixed monthly fee.

01

Monthly Cloud Bookkeeping on Xero

Every transaction categorised, reconciled and up to date on Xero each month. Your records are clean and current, which means your numbers are reliable and the year-end is not a scramble. No chasing documents, no last-minute archaeology.

Included as standard
02

VAT Returns and MTD Compliance

Quarterly VAT returns prepared from your live Xero data 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.

Quarterly, fixed fee
03

Year-End Accounts and Corporation Tax

Annual accounts, CT600 and Companies House confirmation statement handled in one fixed fee. Because the books are current throughout the year, your tax position is visible months before it is due — long enough to plan, not just react.

No extras, no surprises
What clients say

Small businesses across the UK trust Swift

Why Swift

Why small businesses choose Swift

There is no shortage of bookkeepers and accountants. Here is what tends to be different about working with one who runs entirely in the cloud and responds the same day.

☁️

Fully cloud-based from day one

Everything runs on Xero, accessible from anywhere with no local software, no posted spreadsheets and no waiting for year-end to see where you stand. Your records are live, your numbers are current and your accountant can see exactly the same data you can. Which is, frankly, the way it should be.

💬

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 purchase is deductible or what your VAT position is, 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 any other fixed overhead — which makes them considerably easier to plan around.

Getting started

Up and running in four steps

Four steps from enquiry to everything being handled. No complicated onboarding, no paperwork that requires a second read.

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 to be assigned to someone.

2

A short discovery call

Twenty minutes to understand your setup, your current software and what needs sorting. At 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 records are brought up to date and everything is connected. 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. Surprises are largely avoidable when the books are current.

Questions

Questions people usually ask first

No. Setting up and configuring your Xero account is part of the onboarding. If you are moving from another system, or from a spreadsheet, the transition is handled. You do not need to do anything except provide access to your existing records.
Once your books are current and updated monthly, your tax liability becomes visible throughout the year rather than just at the end of it. Most clients have a reasonable idea of what they owe three to four months before it is due — long enough to plan, not just react.
It is why most people come to us. Catching up takes a little longer at the start and may cost slightly more — we will tell you upfront what is involved. Once current, keeping it current is straightforward.
No. Month-to-month, with a month’s notice to cancel. We would rather keep clients because the service is worth it than because leaving is inconvenient.
