Xero Accountant

Your Xero, working properly.

Xero is straightforward software. Getting the most from it depends on having an accountant who actually knows it well. Reconciliations done right, VAT returns filed from the same platform, a tax position that is visible throughout the year. Fixed monthly fee, ICAEW chartered, Xero Gold Partner, same-day replies.

  • Xero set up correctly — no guesswork, no misallocated transactions
  • Monthly reconciliations done, so year-end is not a surprise
  • VAT returns filed directly from Xero — MTD compliant as standard
  • A Xero Gold Partner who already knows what clean cloud books look like

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

Sound familiar?

Xero open. Books still a mess.

Xero does not sort itself. A chart of accounts that nobody set up properly, bank transactions that have been sitting unreconciled for months, VAT returns that are more guess than calculation. It is a surprisingly common situation, and it tends to get less comfortable the longer it sits. Catchable — but more work each week you leave it.

  • Unreconciled Xero transactions piling up with nobody addressing them
  • VAT returns cobbled together from records that do not quite add up
  • No clear picture of the tax position because the bookkeeping is months behind

What clean Xero books look like

Transactions reconciled monthly, every category correctly assigned. VAT prepared and filed from the same data — no second-guessing the numbers. Your tax position visible throughout the year, not reconstructed at the last moment.

  • Xero reconciled monthly — no backlog, no unexplained transactions
  • VAT returns filed from accurate records — nothing estimated or patched
  • Tax position clear throughout the year, not only when the bill is imminent
  • One fixed monthly fee — ask as many questions as you need

What clients say after switching

We work with small limited companies and eCommerce businesses across the UK. A few of them came to us with Xero already in place but not quite doing what it should.

What you get

What your monthly Xero fee covers

Three things that keep your Xero accurate, your tax position current and your compliance handled — for one fixed monthly fee.

01

Xero Bookkeeping and Reconciliation

Every transaction categorised correctly, every bank account reconciled each month. Your Xero reflects what is actually happening in the business — not what was happening three months ago. When the VAT return or year-end arrives, the numbers are already there.

Monthly, fixed fee
02

VAT Returns via Xero

Quarterly VAT returns prepared directly from your Xero data and filed with HMRC under Making Tax Digital. No parallel spreadsheet, no re-entering figures. The return follows naturally from books that are kept current.

MTD compliant as standard
03

Year-End Accounts and Corporation Tax

Annual accounts, CT600 and Companies House confirmation statement — all drawn from the same Xero records maintained throughout the year. Because the bookkeeping is current, year-end is a process rather than an event. Your tax liability is visible well before the deadline.

No extras, no surprises
What clients say

Small businesses across the UK trust Swift

Why Swift

Why small businesses choose Swift on Xero

Most accountants say they support Xero. Fewer are Gold Partners who use it every day and understand what well-kept cloud books should actually look like.

🟠

Xero Gold Partner status

Not every accountant who claims to support Xero has been assessed and accredited by Xero directly. Gold Partner status reflects a level of experience and client volume that goes beyond having logged in a few times. You will not be waiting for an answer while someone figures out where the bank rules are.

💬

Questions answered the same day

Ask whether a transaction should be coded to cost of sales or overheads, and you will have an answer before the day is out. Not logged in a queue, not escalated to someone who will respond within five working days. It comes up in the reviews repeatedly because it is apparently not the norm.

🔒

Fixed monthly cost, no surprises

Your monthly fee is agreed upfront and does not move regardless of how many questions you send or how many transactions go through. No hourly billing, no scope creep, no invoice that arrives larger than you expected. Accounting costs that behave like any other fixed overhead.

Getting started

Up and running in four steps

From first enquiry to clean, current Xero. No complicated onboarding, nothing that requires more than a short conversation.

1

Send your enquiry

Fill in the form on this page. Kieran reads every enquiry personally and responds the same day. No automated acknowledgement that goes nowhere.

2

A short discovery call

Around twenty minutes to understand your current setup, what is or is not happening in Xero, and what needs sorting. By the end of the call you will know exactly what is covered and what it costs.

3

We handle the setup

Your Xero is reviewed, chart of accounts corrected where needed, bank feeds confirmed and any backlog brought up to date. You confirm you want to proceed — we handle the rest.

4

Monthly — nothing falls behind

Reconciliations done each month, VAT filed each quarter, year-end drawn from records that are already current. Your tax position is visible throughout the year. Surprises are largely avoidable when the books are maintained properly.

Questions

Questions people ask before getting started

Swift Accounting is a Xero Gold Partner — accredited by Xero based on usage, client volume and demonstrated competence. Kieran uses Xero every day across bookkeeping, VAT and year-end work. You will not need to explain how the platform works before getting a useful answer.
Taking over an existing Xero file is the most common starting point. We review the chart of accounts, correct miscategorised transactions, reconcile what is outstanding and bring everything up to date from there. Starting fresh is occasionally the right call, but it is not assumed.
It is the situation most people arrive with. Getting it current takes a little longer at the outset and may cost slightly more depending on how far behind things are — we will tell you upfront what is involved. Once it is current, keeping it current is straightforward.
No minimum term. Month-to-month, with a month’s notice to leave. We would rather clients stay because the service is worth it than because the exit terms make leaving awkward.
