Ecommerce Bookkeeping Services

Your ecommerce books, sorted every month.

Running an online store generates more bookkeeping than most sellers expect. Platform fees, multi-channel payouts, VAT thresholds, refunds — the records get complicated quickly, and falling behind makes everything harder. Fixed monthly fee, ICAEW chartered, same-day replies.

  • Books reconciled monthly across every sales channel — no year-end scramble
  • Your tax position visible throughout the year, not just when the bill arrives
  • VAT returns and HMRC correspondence handled — less of that landing on your desk
  • An accountant 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.

Sorted Fast, Even at Short Notice

Sound familiar?

More sales, more platforms, messier books?

The more channels you sell on, the harder it gets to keep the records straight. Shopify payouts, Amazon settlement reports, eBay fees — none of it lines up neatly in your bank statement, and reconciling it manually is slow, error-prone work. Meanwhile your VAT threshold moves closer and your tax return edges up on the calendar. It is all manageable — it just gets harder the further behind you fall.

  • Hours spent trying to reconcile platform payouts against bank statements
  • No clear picture of your tax liability until the bill is almost due
  • VAT threshold creeping closer with no one monitoring it month to month

What sorted looks like

Every channel reconciled monthly so the records are always current. Your tax position visible throughout the year — not a surprise when HMRC sends the reminder. VAT monitored and returns filed on time, as a matter of course.

  • Every platform reconciled monthly — no year-end archaeology
  • Tax liability visible well before HMRC asks for payment
  • VAT threshold monitored — no unexpected registration obligations
  • Fixed monthly cost that does not move, however many questions you ask

What ecommerce sellers say about us

We work with online sellers across the UK — Shopify, Amazon, WooCommerce and beyond. Here are two clients who came to us with books in much the same state yours might be 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.

What you get

What your monthly fee covers

Three things that keep your ecommerce books accurate, your tax position visible, and your admin off your plate — for one fixed monthly cost.

01

Ecommerce Bookkeeping and Reconciliation

Every payout, fee, refund and charge across your sales platforms is categorised and reconciled against your bank account each month. Your records are current, the 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 on time, every time. Making Tax Digital compliant as standard. Your VAT position is monitored throughout the quarter — you will not approach a filing deadline with a figure you were not expecting.

Quarterly, fixed fee
03

Year-end Accounts and Corporation Tax

Annual accounts and CT600 prepared and submitted to HMRC and Companies House. Because your books are kept current throughout the year, the year-end process is straightforward rather than a scramble. Your tax liability is visible months before it falls due.

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 understands how ecommerce platforms operate.

🛒

No explaining how ecommerce works

Shopify payouts, Amazon settlement reports, FBA fees, marketplace refunds, cross-border VAT — you will not spend ten minutes describing your business before getting a useful answer. We work with online sellers every day. Ask a question, get an answer that actually applies to your situation.

💬

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 piece of equipment is deductible before you buy it, you will have a clear answer before the end of the day.

🔒

One price, clearly agreed

Your monthly fee is fixed and does not move. No hourly billing, no end-of-month surprises, no invoice that arrives larger than expected. Your accounting cost is as predictable as any other fixed overhead in your business.

Getting started

Up and running in four steps

From enquiry to everything being handled takes about ten minutes of your time. No complicated onboarding, no forms that need a specialist to complete.

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 hear back from someone junior.

2

A short discovery call

About twenty minutes to understand your setup, the platforms you sell on, and what needs sorting. By the end of the call you will know exactly what is covered, what it costs, and what happens next.

3

We handle the setup

Your Xero account is connected, your sales channels are configured and your records are brought up to date. If there is a backlog to clear, we will tell you upfront what that involves. You do not need to prepare anything in advance.

4

Ongoing — nothing falls through

Monthly bookkeeping, quarterly VAT, year-end accounts — handled as a matter of course. Your tax position is visible throughout the year rather than arriving as a number you were not expecting. Surprises are largely avoidable when the books are current.

“One of the friendliest accounting companies I’ve ever spoken to. I was fairly stressed about all of the big terms HMRC use, but Kieran explained everything in the best possible way, told me the price they’d charge after 5 minutes of speaking.”

Questions

Questions ecommerce sellers usually ask first

Yes — you will not need to explain how Shopify batches settlements or how Amazon nets off fees before paying out. Platform fees, referral charges, payout timing and refund handling are 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 arriving at the end of it. Most clients have a reasonable idea of what they owe three to four months before it falls due — enough time to plan rather than 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 than the ongoing monthly fee — we will tell you exactly what is involved upfront. Once current, keeping it current is straightforward.
No. Month-to-month, with a month’s notice to leave. We would rather keep clients because the service is worth it than because the exit is awkward. That said, most clients stay because the alternative is going back to doing it themselves.
