Online Business Bookkeeper

Your online business books, sorted.

Running an online business means more transactions, more platforms and more things to reconcile than most people bargain for — and the bookkeeping tends to get pushed down the list. By the time the year-end comes around, the records are rarely where they need to be. Fixed monthly fee, ICAEW chartered, same-day replies.

  • Clean, current books every month — no year-end scramble
  • Your tax position visible throughout the year, not just at the deadline
  • VAT returns and HMRC correspondence handled — less of that landing on your desk
  • A bookkeeper who understands online businesses, platforms and how the money actually moves

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

Sound familiar?

Books drifting, tax unknown, admin quietly piling up?

Online businesses generate more financial noise than most: sales across multiple channels, payment processor fees, subscriptions, platform charges, and payouts that rarely match a round number. Most business owners manage it themselves for longer than they should, until a VAT deadline or tax return forces the issue. It is all solvable — it just takes longer the more you leave it.

  • Hours lost each month trying to reconcile payouts, fees and bank transactions
  • No real visibility on the tax bill until the return is due and the numbers are already fixed
  • Bookkeeping that is months behind, with year-end approaching faster than it should be

What sorted looks like

Records updated every month so the numbers are always current. Your tax position visible throughout the year, not sprung on you at the end of it. Bookkeeping off your plate — handled monthly as a matter of course, not crammed in before a deadline.

  • Books reconciled every month — no backlog, no year-end archaeology
  • Tax liability visible months before it is due — time to plan, not react
  • Bookkeeping handled consistently so it never falls behind again
  • A fixed monthly cost that does not move regardless of how many questions you ask

What online business owners say about us

We work with eCommerce sellers, consultants and small online businesses across the UK. Here are two clients who came to us in much the same situation you are probably in now.

★★★★★

Kieran and Swift have been an invaluable asset to me and my business. Kieran provided excellent 1:1 training for Quickbooks, which allowed me to gain confidence about my bookkeeping. More recently he has submitted my self-assessment tax return.

What you get

What your monthly fee covers

Three core things that keep your records clean, your tax position clear and your admin manageable — for one fixed monthly fee, agreed before anything starts.

01

Monthly Bookkeeping on Xero

Every transaction categorised, every payout reconciled, every month. Your records are current and accurate so there is no scramble when the VAT return or year-end comes around. You get a clean set of books without spending your evenings maintaining them.

Included as standard
02

VAT Returns and MTD Filing

Quarterly VAT returns prepared from your up-to-date Xero records and filed with HMRC. Making Tax Digital compliant as standard. Your VAT threshold is monitored so you will not cross it without knowing.

Quarterly, fixed fee
03

Year-End Accounts and Corporation Tax

Annual accounts, CT600 and Companies House confirmation statement handled in one fixed fee. Your tax liability becomes visible throughout the year so the bill is not a surprise when it arrives. No separate invoice for things that should already be included.

No extras, no surprises
What clients say

Why Swift

Why online businesses choose Swift

There is no shortage of bookkeepers. Here is what tends to make the difference when you are running a business that operates primarily online.

🖥️

No explaining how online business works

Payment processor fees, platform charges, multi-channel sales, deferred revenue — you will not spend the first ten minutes of every conversation bringing us up to speed. We work with online businesses every day. The context is already there before you ask the question.

💬

Questions answered the same day

Ask whether a software subscription is deductible, how to record a refund, or what your approximate tax bill is looking like — you will have an answer before the end of the day. Not logged, not queued, not passed along. Every client has a named accountant who knows their business.

🔒

One price, agreed upfront

Your monthly fee is fixed before anything starts and does not move. No hourly billing, no invoice that arrives larger than expected, no charge for asking questions that are part of the service. Your bookkeeping cost is as predictable as any other fixed overhead.

Getting started

Up and running in four steps

Four steps from first contact to everything being handled. No complicated onboarding, no software to learn before we start.

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 for a callback window.

2

A short discovery call

Twenty minutes to understand your business, your current records and what needs sorting. By the end of the call you will know exactly what is covered and what it costs. No ambiguity, no follow-up sales process.

3

We handle the setup

Your Xero account is connected, your records are brought up to date and everything is configured. If there is a backlog to clear, we tell you upfront what that involves. You do not need to do much except confirm you want to proceed.

4

Ongoing — nothing falls through

Monthly bookkeeping, quarterly VAT, annual accounts and tax return — handled as a matter of course. Your tax position stays visible throughout the year so nothing arrives as a surprise. The parts of running a business that used to take up your evenings are, largely, no longer your problem.

“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 online business owners usually ask first

Yes. Sales from different platforms, payment processor settlements, refunds, fees and charges — all categorised correctly in Xero every month. You will not need to explain how your income arrives before getting a useful answer. It is not unusual complexity for us.
Once your books are current, your tax liability becomes visible throughout the year rather than appearing at the end of it. Most clients have a reasonable working estimate three to four months before it is due — long enough 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 — we will tell you exactly what is involved before anything 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 feels awkward.
