Ecommerce Bookkeeper
Your eCommerce books, sorted.
Most eCommerce sellers reach a point where the bookkeeping takes longer than it should and the tax position is never quite clear until it is too late to do much about it. Between platform fees, payout reconciliations and VAT thresholds, the admin compounds as the business grows. Fixed monthly fee, ICAEW chartered, same-day replies.
- Clean, reconciled books every month — no year-end scramble
- Tax position visible throughout the year, not just when the bill arrives
- VAT thresholds monitored — no unexpected registration obligations
- A bookkeeper who already understands 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?
Still reconciling last month’s payouts yourself?
The bigger an eCommerce operation gets, the messier the books tend to become. Platform fees that do not match bank deposits, VAT thresholds approaching faster than expected, a year-end tax return with records that need serious work before anyone can touch them. None of it is unusual — and none of it is especially enjoyable to deal with when you could be running the business instead. It is all solvable. It just takes longer the more you leave it.
- Hours spent trying to reconcile platform payouts against bank statements
- No clear view of the tax position until the bill is already on its way
- VAT threshold approaching without any reliable early warning
What sorted looks like
Books reconciled monthly, so the numbers are always current. Your tax liability visible throughout the year, not revealed as a surprise in January. VAT monitored as a matter of course, with registration handled before it becomes urgent rather than after.
- Books reconciled and current every month — no year-end archaeology
- Tax position clear well before HMRC sends the first reminder
- VAT threshold tracked continuously — no unexpected obligations
- One fixed monthly cost, agreed upfront, that does not change mid-year
What eCommerce clients say about us
We work with online sellers across the UK. Here are two clients who came to us in much the same situation you are probably in now.
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.
Having only recently switched my business to Swift from another accountant, I have found them efficient, friendly and professional, and they’re already saving me money! Would recommend. Nic Paton, Cormorant Media
What your monthly fee covers
Three core components that keep your records clean, your tax position clear and your eCommerce admin manageable — for one fixed monthly fee.
Monthly Bookkeeping and Reconciliation
Every transaction from every sales channel reconciled against your bank account each month on Xero. Platform fees, refunds, marketplace settlements and fulfilment charges are all categorised correctly — so your records are accurate when you need them, not just at year-end.
Included as standardVAT Returns and MTD Compliance
Quarterly VAT returns prepared and filed with HMRC, Making Tax Digital compliant as standard. Your VAT position is reviewed each quarter rather than left to accumulate — and if you are approaching the registration threshold, you will know about it well in advance.
Quarterly, fixed feeYear-End Accounts and Corporation Tax
Annual accounts, CT600 and Companies House confirmation statement handled in a single fixed fee. Because the bookkeeping is current throughout the year, there is no frantic catch-up at year-end — and your tax bill is rarely a surprise by the time it is due.
No extras, no surpriseseCommerce sellers across the UK trust Swift
Sole traders, limited companies and growing online businesses. Usually arriving with books in some state of disarray. Leaving with considerably less to worry about.
Two Years In, Still Highly Recommending
“Excellent and prompt service, great communications and above all really helpful. Highly recommend.”
Always One Click Away for Every Question
“What a guy!! Excellent, fast and reliable. Kieran has been very professional, caring, patient and efficient throughout the entire process of building our company. He was always one click away from every possible question we could throw at him.”
Fast and Reliable Work at Short Notice

Why eCommerce sellers choose Swift
There is no shortage of bookkeepers. Here is what is different about working with one who already understands how online retail works.
No explaining how eCommerce works
Shopify payouts, Amazon FBA fees, marketplace settlement reports, cross-border VAT on digital sales — you will not need to spend the first ten minutes of every conversation establishing context. We work with online sellers regularly enough that your setup is not unusual to us. Ask a question about your platform, get a useful answer.
Replies the same day
Questions get answered the day you ask them. Not logged in a support queue, not held for the monthly review call — answered. If you want to know whether a fulfilment cost is deductible or how a refund should be categorised, you will have a response before the end of the day.
One price, clearly agreed
Your monthly fee is fixed and does not move. No hourly billing, no additional charges for extra questions, no invoice that arrives larger than expected. Your bookkeeping costs are as predictable as your other fixed overheads — which, if you are running an eCommerce business, is one less variable to manage.
Up and running in four steps
From first enquiry to everything handled takes less than a week in most cases. No complicated onboarding, no paperwork that requires a lawyer.
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.
A short discovery call
Twenty minutes to understand your sales channels, current software and what needs sorting. By the end of the call you will know exactly what is covered, what it costs and what happens next — which is more than most people know going in.
We handle the setup
Xero is connected, your accounts are brought up to date and everything is configured. If your records are behind, we will tell you upfront what the catch-up involves. You do not need to do much except confirm you want to proceed.
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 revealed at the end of it. Surprises are largely avoidable when the books are current.
“Kieran came recommended to us and for good reason. He was fast, professional and very patient when answering our long list of questions.”
