eCommerce Accounting Automation

Your eCommerce books, running automatically.

Most eCommerce sellers are still doing far too much of this manually — reconciling payouts, chasing receipts, guessing at their tax position. Xero automation and a dedicated accountant can remove most of that work from your plate. Fixed monthly fee, ICAEW chartered, same-day replies.

  • Xero set up and automated — payouts reconciled without manual effort
  • Tax position visible throughout the year, not just at the filing deadline
  • VAT returns and MTD compliance handled as a matter of course
  • An accountant who already knows how Shopify, Amazon and WooCommerce pay out

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

Sound familiar?

Still reconciling eCommerce payouts by hand?

The more platforms you sell on, the more time disappears into spreadsheets. Settlement reports that do not match the bank. Marketplace fees that need separating out. A VAT threshold creeping closer than your current records suggest. None of it is complicated — it is just taking up time it should not need to. That is largely a setup problem, and setup problems are solvable.

  • Hours lost each month reconciling Shopify or Amazon payouts manually
  • No clear picture of tax liability until the year-end return actually arrives
  • Marketplace fees, refunds and platform charges categorised inconsistently or not at all

What automated and sorted looks like

Xero connected to your sales platforms, with payouts reconciling automatically each month. Your tax position updated throughout the year, not reconstructed at the end of it. Fees, refunds and charges categorised correctly from day one.

  • Payouts reconciled automatically every month — no manual matching
  • Tax position visible well before HMRC asks for payment
  • Marketplace fees and charges categorised correctly from the start
  • One fixed monthly cost — no surprises 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.

What you get

What your monthly fee covers

Three things that keep your eCommerce books clean, your tax position visible and your admin manageable — for one fixed monthly fee.

01

Xero Setup and Monthly Bookkeeping

Your Xero account is connected to your sales platforms so payouts, fees and refunds reconcile automatically each month. Records are current, categorised correctly and ready whenever they are needed — including by HMRC.

Included as standard
02

VAT Returns and MTD Compliance

Quarterly VAT returns prepared and filed with HMRC, Making Tax Digital compliant as standard. Cross-border VAT on international sales is handled correctly — which matters more the further your products travel.

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 known well before the deadline — not estimated in a hurry.

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 eCommerce platforms pay out.

🛒

No explaining how your platforms work

Shopify payouts, Amazon settlement reports, WooCommerce gateway fees, FBA storage charges, eBay final value fees — you will not need to spend the first ten minutes of every conversation explaining what your business does 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 by Kieran directly. If you want to know whether a particular platform fee is deductible or how a refund should be categorised, you will know before the end of the day.

🔒

One price, clearly agreed

Your monthly fee is fixed and does not move as your business grows or your questions increase. No hourly billing, no invoice that arrives larger than expected. Your accounting costs are as predictable as any other fixed overhead.

Getting started

Up and running in four steps

Four steps from first enquiry to everything automated and handled. No complicated onboarding, no forms that need a lawyer.

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 platforms, current software and what needs sorting. By the end of the call you will know exactly what is covered, what it costs and how automation will work for your specific setup.

3

We handle the setup

Xero is connected to your sales platforms, your historical records are brought up to date and automation rules are 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 is visible throughout the year rather than reconstructed at the end of it. 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 gross sales figure before getting a useful answer. FBA fees, referral charges, platform gateway costs and refund adjustments are all categorised correctly from the start. It is not unusual complexity for us.
Once your books are current and reconciling monthly, your tax liability becomes visible throughout the year rather than appearing as a surprise at the end of it. Most clients have a reasonable picture 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 than the ongoing monthly fee — we will tell you upfront 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.
