Ecommerce Accountant

Your ecommerce accounts, sorted.

Running an online store is complicated enough without the books adding to it. Marketplace fees, platform payouts, cross-border VAT and a growing transaction count — the admin scales with the revenue. Fixed monthly fee, ICAEW chartered, same-day replies.

  • Books reconciled monthly — no year-end scramble through platform exports
  • Tax position visible throughout the year, not just when the bill arrives
  • VAT threshold monitored — no surprises when you cross it
  • An accountant who already knows how Shopify, Amazon and WooCommerce work

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

Fast Work at Short Notice, Every Time

Sound familiar?

Your sales are growing. Your books are not keeping up.

The bigger your online store gets, the more complicated the records become. Payout reports that do not reconcile with your bank, a VAT threshold creeping closer than you realised, and a tax return due with records that need serious work before anyone can use them. It is all solvable — it just takes longer the more you leave it.

  • Hours lost trying to reconcile marketplace payouts against your bank account
  • No real visibility on your tax position until the bill is already due
  • VAT obligations creeping up on you without a clear warning from anyone

What sorted looks like

Clean books updated every month, reconciled across every platform you sell on. Your tax position visible throughout the year — not just when it becomes urgent. VAT monitored and filed on time, with no threshold crossed without you knowing about it first.

  • Books clean and reconciled monthly — no year-end archaeology
  • Tax position visible well before HMRC asks for payment
  • VAT threshold and filings monitored — it reaches you as a heads-up, not a surprise
  • 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 things that keep your ecommerce books clean, your tax position clear and your compliance manageable — for one fixed monthly fee.

01

Bookkeeping and Platform Reconciliation

Every payout, fee, refund and charge reconciled monthly across your sales platforms and against your bank account. Your records are current, your numbers are accurate, and there is nothing to untangle when the tax return comes around.

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 cross it without knowing well in advance.

Quarterly, fixed fee
03

Corporation Tax and Annual Accounts

Year-end accounts, CT600 and Companies House confirmation statement handled in one fixed fee. Your tax liability becomes visible months before it is due — long enough to plan rather than react.

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 knows how online retail works.

🛒

No explaining how your store works

Shopify payouts, Amazon FBA fees, referral charges, settlement reports, cross-border VAT — you will not spend ten minutes explaining your business model before getting a useful answer. We work with ecommerce sellers every day. Ask a question, get an answer.

💬

Replies the same day

Questions get answered the day you ask them. Not logged, not queued, not passed along — answered. If you want to know whether a software subscription is deductible or whether you are approaching the VAT threshold, 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 in your business.

Getting started

Up and running in four steps

Four steps from first contact to everything being handled. No complicated onboarding, no paperwork that takes a fortnight to complete.

1

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.

2

A short discovery call

Twenty minutes to understand your setup, which platforms you sell on, your current software and what needs sorting first. By the end of the call you will know exactly what is covered and what it costs.

3

We handle the setup

Your accounting software 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.

4

Ongoing — nothing falls through

Monthly bookkeeping, quarterly VAT, annual accounts and corporation tax — handled as a matter of course. Your tax position becomes visible well before it becomes urgent. Surprises are largely avoidable when the books are current.

Questions

Questions ecommerce sellers usually ask first

Yes — you will not need to explain how settlement reports work before getting a useful answer. FBA fees, referral charges, storage costs, reimbursements and multi-currency payouts are all categorised correctly from the start. It is not unusual complexity for us.
Once your books are current, 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. Getting up to date takes a little longer at the start and may cost slightly more — we will tell you exactly 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.
