Sound familiar?
Online selling growing faster than your bookkeeping can keep up?
The more channels you sell through, the harder the numbers are to track. Platform fees that do not match your bank statement, a VAT threshold closer than you realised, and a tax return due with records that need a considerable amount of work. None of it is unusual — it just becomes harder to untangle the longer it is left.
- Hours spent trying to reconcile platform payouts against your bank account
- No clear view of your tax position until the return is already overdue
- VAT threshold creeping up with no one monitoring whether you are approaching it
What sorted looks like
Your books are updated monthly so the numbers are always current. Your tax liability is visible well before it becomes urgent — not the week of the deadline. VAT is monitored, filed and MTD compliant as a matter of course.
- Platform payouts reconciled monthly — no end-of-year archaeology required
- Tax position clear months before HMRC asks for payment
- VAT threshold monitored — you will not cross it without knowing
- One fixed monthly fee — does not change however many questions you ask

Bookkeeping and Platform Reconciliation
Your sales, fees, refunds and payouts reconciled against your bank every month, whether you sell on Shopify, Amazon, WooCommerce or eBay. Records stay current, year-end has no surprises, and you can see where the business actually stands at any point in the month.

Quarterly VAT returns prepared and filed with HMRC — Making Tax Digital compliant as standard. Your VAT threshold is monitored throughout the year so an unexpected registration obligation does not catch you off guard.
Quarterly, fixed feeCorporation Tax and Year-End Accounts

Working a Saturday Night to Meet the Deadline
“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.”

Why Barnstaple eCommerce businesses choose Swift
There is no shortage of accountants. Here is what is different about working with one who already understands how online retail works.
No explaining how eCommerce works
Marketplace fees, settlement reports, cross-border VAT, Shopify payouts, Amazon FBA charges — you will not spend ten minutes describing your business model before getting a useful answer. We work with online sellers regularly. Ask a question, get an answer that is actually relevant to your setup.
Replies the same day you ask
Questions get answered the day you ask them. Not logged, not queued, not passed along — answered. Kieran reads every message directly, which is why the reviews consistently mention communication rather than it being something clients expected to compromise on.
One fixed monthly price
Your monthly fee is agreed upfront and does not move. No hourly billing, no invoice that arrives larger than quoted, no extra charge for a question you should have been afraid to ask. Your accounting cost is as predictable as any other fixed overhead in the business.
Up and running in four steps
From first enquiry to everything being handled takes four straightforward steps. 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. No automated holding messages.
A short discovery call
Around twenty minutes to understand your platforms, current records and what needs sorting. By the end of the call you will know exactly what is covered, what it costs and what happens next.
We handle the setup
Your accounting software is connected, your records are brought up to date and everything is configured correctly. The only thing you need to do at this stage is confirm you want to proceed.
Ongoing — nothing falls through
Monthly bookkeeping, quarterly VAT, annual accounts and corporation tax — handled as a matter of course. Your tax position is visible throughout the year. Surprises are largely avoidable when the books are kept current.
