Sound familiar?
CIS admin eating into time you do not have?
Subcontractors to verify, monthly returns to file, deduction statements to issue — the CIS obligations do not pause between jobs. For many trades in Barnstaple, the returns are being filed late, the records are incomplete, or the whole thing is being put off until it becomes a problem. It is all manageable — it just gets harder the longer it is left.
- Monthly CIS returns missed or filed late, risking HMRC penalties
- Deduction statements not issued, leaving subcontractors unable to reclaim tax
- No clear picture of what tax is actually owed until the self assessment arrives
What sorted looks like
CIS returns filed monthly without you chasing the deadline. Deduction statements issued correctly so your subbies are not left in the dark. Your tax position built up throughout the year so the self assessment holds no surprises.
- CIS returns filed on time every month — no penalties, no chasing
- Deduction statements issued correctly so subcontractors can reclaim what they are owed
- Tax liability visible throughout the year, not just when the bill lands
- A fixed monthly cost that covers it all — no surprises on the invoice
What tradespeople in Barnstaple say
We work with contractors, subcontractors and self-employed tradespeople across Devon. Here are two clients who came to us in a similar position to where you probably are now.
Being a self employed stone mason sadly paper work is not my strong suit. And after a late cancellation from my normal accountant I had to find help. With late notice I contacted swift accounting and book keeping. Kieran was the person assigned to me to help with my tax return and at the start of Jan not much time to file my return before potential fines incurred. He went above an beyond to help good communication through emails an working even on a Saturday night to complete my return. I cannot thank him enough he made the process super easy an relaxed I will 100% be using them again in the future. Thank you.
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.
What your monthly fee covers
Three things that keep your CIS compliance clean, your tax position visible and your paperwork off your plate — for one fixed monthly fee.
Monthly CIS Returns
Your CIS return is prepared and filed with HMRC each month, covering all payments to subcontractors and any deductions made. Subcontractor verification is handled, and deduction statements are issued correctly. Nothing is left to the last minute and nothing falls through.
Filed monthly, fixed feeSelf Assessment and Tax Planning
Your annual self assessment is prepared using accurate, up-to-date records — not a scramble through bank statements at the end of the year. CIS deductions suffered are offset against your tax liability correctly, so you claim back what you are entitled to. Your bill is visible well before the January deadline.
No surprises at year endBookkeeping for Tradespeople
Monthly bookkeeping on Xero keeps your income and expenses current and categorised. Materials, tools, subcontractor costs, vehicle expenses — everything is in the right place. When the tax return comes around, the work is already done.

Why Barnstaple tradespeople choose Swift
There is no shortage of accountants in Devon. Here is what is different about working with one who already understands how CIS works in practice.
No explaining how CIS works
Contractor obligations, subcontractor verification, deduction rates, gross payment status applications — you will not need to spend the first call bringing us up to speed. CIS is a standard part of what we do for trades clients. Ask a question and get an answer that is actually useful.
Replies the same day
Questions get answered the day you ask them. Not logged, not queued, not passed to someone who will get back to you. If you want to know whether a new van qualifies for capital allowances, you will have an answer before the end of the working day.
One fixed price, agreed upfront
Your monthly fee is agreed before anything starts and does not change. No hourly billing, no additional invoices when you ask too many questions, no end-of-year surprises. Your accounting cost is as predictable as your other fixed overheads.
Up and running in four steps
From first enquiry to everything being handled takes four steps and roughly ten minutes of your time at the start.
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 message, no waiting a week to hear back.
A short call to understand your setup
Around twenty minutes to go through your current situation — whether you are a sole trader or limited company, who your subcontractors are, and what needs sorting. By the end of the call you will know exactly what is covered and what it costs.
We handle the setup
Your Xero account is connected, your records are brought current and your CIS obligations are mapped out. There is very little you need to do except confirm you want to proceed.
Ongoing — nothing falls through
Monthly CIS returns filed as a matter of course. Subcontractor statements issued. Bookkeeping current. Your self assessment prepared from records that are already in order — not reconstructed at the last minute. You focus on the work; the paperwork is handled.
“Kieran came recommended to us and for good reason. He was fast, professional and very patient when answering our long list of questions.”
