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.

Always One Click Away From an Answer

“He was always one click away from every possible question we could throw at him.”

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

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 Swift

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.

Getting started

Up and running in four steps

Four steps from first enquiry to everything being handled. No complicated onboarding, no forms that require a solicitor.

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 being passed around.

2

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.

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

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.

Questions

Questions eCommerce sellers usually ask first

Yes — you will not need to explain how settlement reports work or why your Shopify payout does not match your sales total before getting a useful answer. Marketplace fees, refunds, chargebacks and cross-border VAT are all categorised correctly from the start. It is not unfamiliar territory.
Once your books are current, your tax liability becomes visible throughout the year rather than arriving as a surprise at the end of it. Most clients have a reasonable estimate three to four months before it is due — enough time to plan, not just react.
It is why most people come to us. Getting up to date takes a little more work at the start and may cost slightly more in the first month — we will tell you exactly what upfront. 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.
