Virtual Bookkeeper
Your bookkeeping, off your plate. Every month.
Most small business owners do their own books because it seemed manageable at first. It rarely stays that way. Between reconciling transactions, VAT deadlines and the year-end scramble, the admin quietly takes over. Fixed monthly fee, ICAEW chartered, same-day replies.
- Clean, reconciled books every month — no year-end catch-up required
- Know your tax position throughout the year, not just when the bill arrives
- VAT returns filed on time — Making Tax Digital compliant as standard
- A named, qualified accountant handling your books — not a junior or a queue
No long-term contract. If it is not working after three months, you leave with clean books and nothing owed.

Sound familiar?
Still doing your own books at the end of the month?
Bookkeeping feels manageable until it is not. Transactions pile up, receipts go missing, the bank reconciliation keeps getting pushed back, and the VAT deadline arrives before the records are ready. It is not a crisis — but it is taking time that was never really budgeted for it. Left long enough, catching up costs more than staying current would have.
- Hours spent each month reconciling transactions instead of running the business
- No clear picture of tax position until the year-end bill actually arrives
- VAT deadlines looming with records that are not quite ready
What sorted looks like
Books updated and reconciled every month, so there is no scramble. Your tax liability becomes visible throughout the year, not just at the end of it. VAT returns prepared and filed on time, with nothing left to the last minute.
- Books clean and reconciled monthly — no catch-up, no scramble
- Tax position visible throughout the year, not just when payment is due
- VAT returns prepared and filed on time, every quarter
- A fixed monthly cost that does not move regardless of how many questions you ask
What clients say about working with Swift
We work with small businesses and limited companies across the UK. Here are two clients who came to us in much the same position 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.
I’ve been using Swift Accounting for two years now after my previous accountant retired and recommended Kieran. Excellent and prompt service, great communications and above all really helpful. Highly recommend.
What your monthly fee covers
Three core things that keep your books clean, your tax position visible and your admin off your plate — for one fixed monthly fee.
Monthly Bookkeeping on Xero
Every transaction categorised, every bank account reconciled, every month. Your records are current and accurate, so there is no panic when the VAT return or year-end arrives. Xero is set up and managed for you — you just run the business.
Included as standardVAT Returns and MTD Compliance
Quarterly VAT returns prepared from your clean books and filed directly with HMRC. Making Tax Digital compliant as standard. You will know what is due before the deadline, not the day before it.
Quarterly, fixed feeYear-End Accounts and Corporation Tax
Annual accounts, corporation tax return and Companies House submission — all handled as part of the same ongoing relationship. Because the books are current throughout the year, year-end is a process rather than a crisis.
No extras, no surprisesSmall businesses across the UK trust Swift
Sole traders, limited companies and growing eCommerce businesses. Usually arriving with books in some state of disarray. Leaving with considerably less to worry about.
Switched Accountants, Already Saving Money
“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”
Price Quoted Clearly After Five Minutes
“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.”
Fast, Reliable Work at Short Notice
“Great work by Kieran sorting out my business accounts really fast and at short notice on multiple occasions. Many thanks and I would highly recommend them for all accounting needs.”
Why small businesses choose Swift as their bookkeeper
There is no shortage of bookkeepers. Here is what is different about working with one who is also an ICAEW chartered accountant and responds the same day.
Books updated every single month
Your records do not wait until year-end. Every month, transactions are reconciled, accounts are current and you have an accurate picture of where the business stands. When a deadline arrives, the work is already done.
Replies the same day you ask
Questions get answered the day you ask them. Not logged, not queued, not passed to a junior. If you want to know whether something is deductible, or what your VAT position is, you will have an answer before the end of the day.
One fixed price, agreed upfront
Your monthly fee is fixed and does not move. No hourly billing, no invoice that arrives larger than expected, no charge for asking a question. Your bookkeeping costs are as predictable as any other fixed overhead.
Up and running in four steps
From enquiry to everything handled in four straightforward steps. No complicated onboarding, no forms that need a lawyer to read.
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.
A short discovery call
Twenty minutes to understand your current setup, what software you are using and what needs sorting. At the end of the call you will know exactly what is covered and what it costs — no ambiguity.
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 much except confirm you want to proceed.
Ongoing — nothing falls through
Monthly bookkeeping, quarterly VAT, annual accounts — handled as a matter of course. Your tax position becomes visible throughout the year rather than just at the end of it. Surprises are largely avoidable when the books are current.
“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.”
