Accountants for eCommerce Businesses
Your eCommerce accounts, sorted.
Running an online store is complicated enough without the books adding to it. Marketplace fees, VAT thresholds, cross-border sales — the admin builds up quickly and rarely gets simpler on its own. Fixed monthly fee, ICAEW chartered, same-day replies.
- Clean, current books every month — no year-end scramble
- Know your tax position well before HMRC sends the reminder
- VAT compliance handled, including cross-border and threshold monitoring
- An accountant who already knows how eCommerce platforms pay out
No long-term contract. If it is not working after three months, you leave with clean books and nothing owed.

Sound familiar?
eCommerce books more complicated than expected?
The bigger the store, the more the admin multiplies. Platform fees that do not match the payout, a VAT threshold moving closer than you realised, a tax return approaching with records in varying states of order. None of it is unusual — it just takes longer to untangle the more time passes.
- Hours spent trying to reconcile platform payouts against bank statements
- No clear view of tax liability until the bill is already imminent
- VAT threshold approaching without knowing quite where you stand
What sorted looks like
Books reconciled every month so the numbers are always accurate. Your tax position visible throughout the year, not just at the end of it. VAT monitored so there are no registration obligations you were not expecting.
- Books reconciled monthly — no end-of-year archaeology required
- Tax position visible well before HMRC sends a payment reminder
- VAT threshold monitored — no surprises on registration obligations
- One fixed monthly cost that does not move, however many questions you ask

Why eCommerce sellers choose Swift
There is no shortage of accountants. Here is what is different about working with one who already understands how online retail works.
No explaining how eCommerce works
Marketplace fees, settlement reports, inventory adjustments, cross-border VAT, Shopify payouts that do not land cleanly — you will not need to spend ten minutes explaining your business model before getting a useful answer. We work with online sellers every day. Ask a question, get an answer.
Replies the same day
Questions get answered the day you ask them. Not logged, not passed to a junior, not acknowledged with an automated holding message. If you want to know whether a particular cost is deductible, you will know before the end of the day.
One price, agreed upfront
Your monthly fee is fixed and does not move. No hourly billing, no invoice that arrives larger than expected, no extra charge for asking a question. Your accounting costs are as predictable as your other fixed overheads.
Up and running in four steps
Four steps from first enquiry to everything being handled. No complicated onboarding, no forms that require a solicitor.
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 being passed around.
A short discovery call
Around twenty minutes to understand your setup, what platforms you sell on, the current state of your books and what needs sorting. By the end of the call you will know exactly what is included and what it costs.
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.
Ongoing — nothing falls through
Bookkeeping done monthly, VAT returns filed quarterly, year-end accounts and corporation tax handled as a matter of course. Your tax position is visible well before it becomes urgent. Surprises are largely avoidable when the books are current.
