Books behind and tax deadline getting closer?
For most Plymouth business owners, bookkeeping is the job that gets done after everything else — which means it often does not get done at all. Records fall behind, reconciliations pile up, and the tax return arrives with months of catching up to do first. None of it is catastrophic. It just gets more time-consuming the longer it sits.
- Monthly reconciliations months behind with no clear picture of the numbers
- No idea what the corporation tax or self assessment bill will be until it arrives
- VAT deadlines arriving before the records are in any state to file
What sorted looks like
Books updated and reconciled every month so the numbers are always current. Your tax position visible throughout the year, not sprung on you at the end of it. VAT returns prepared and filed with time to spare — not in the final forty-eight hours.
- Books reconciled monthly — no year-end archaeology required
- Tax position visible months before 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 have
What Plymouth business owners say
We work with small businesses and limited companies across the South West and beyond. Here are two clients who came to us in roughly the 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.
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 services that keep your records current, your tax position visible, and your filing obligations met — for one fixed monthly fee, agreed before anything starts.
Monthly Bookkeeping and Reconciliation
Your records updated and reconciled every month on Xero, with every transaction categorised correctly. No gaps, no guesswork, and no frantic catch-up when the year-end or VAT return comes around. You get a clean set of books as a matter of course.
Included as standardVAT Returns and MTD Filing
Quarterly VAT returns prepared from your current records and filed directly with HMRC. Making Tax Digital compliant as standard — there is nothing extra to set up on your end. Deadlines are met; you do not need to track them.
Quarterly, fixed feeYear-End Accounts and Corporation Tax
Annual accounts, CT600 and Companies House confirmation statement handled in full. Because your books are current throughout the year, the year-end is straightforward rather than a reconstruction exercise. You will know roughly what you owe well before the bill is due.
No extras, no surprisesBusinesses across the UK trust Swift
Sole traders, limited companies and small businesses of most descriptions. Usually arriving with books in some state of disarray. Leaving with considerably less to worry about.
Switched Accountants and Already Saving Money

Why Plymouth businesses choose Swift
There is no shortage of accountants. Here is what is different about working with one who is cloud-based, ICAEW chartered, and genuinely responsive.
Books current, not just filed
Most accountants come into the picture at year-end. We are in the numbers every month, which means problems are spotted when they are small rather than when the deadline is already close. Clean, current books every month is the baseline — not the exception.
Replies the same day
Questions get answered the day you ask them. Not logged into a queue, not passed to a junior — answered. If you want to know whether something is deductible, or what your tax position looks like right now, you will know before the end of the day.
One price, clearly agreed
Your monthly fee is fixed before anything starts and does not move. No hourly billing, no invoice arriving larger than expected, no charge every time you ask a question. Your accounting costs are as predictable as any other fixed overhead.
Up and running in four steps
From first enquiry to everything being handled takes less effort than most people expect. No complicated onboarding, no forms that need a lawyer to interpret.
Send your enquiry
Fill in the form on this page. Kieran reads every enquiry personally and responds the same day with a clear next step. There are no automated holding messages.
A short discovery call
Around twenty minutes to understand your business, your current setup and what needs sorting. By the end of the call you will know exactly what is covered and what it costs — no vague proposals to follow up on.
We handle the setup
Your accounting software is connected, your records are brought up to date and everything is configured on our side. You confirm you want to proceed; we handle the rest.
Ongoing — nothing falls through
Monthly bookkeeping, quarterly VAT returns, year-end accounts and corporation tax — handled as a matter of course. Your tax position is visible throughout the year rather than arriving as a surprise. 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.”
