Sound familiar?
eCommerce books taking up time you do not have?
The bigger your online store grows, the more complicated the accounting becomes. Payout reports that will not reconcile with the bank, a VAT registration threshold closer than you realised, a tax return due with records months behind. None of it is unusual — but it does get harder the longer it sits. It is all solvable, and considerably less painful to fix sooner than later.
- Hours lost trying to reconcile platform payouts against bank statements
- No clear picture of the tax bill until it lands — too late to plan
- VAT threshold creeping closer with no one monitoring it
What sorted looks like
Platform payouts reconciled every month, books current throughout the year. Your tax position is visible well before HMRC asks for payment. VAT is monitored and filed — you will not cross the threshold without knowing it is coming.
- Books reconciled monthly — no year-end archaeology required
- Tax liability visible throughout the year, not just at the deadline
- VAT threshold monitored — no unexpected registration obligation
- A fixed monthly cost that does not move regardless of how many questions you ask
What eCommerce clients say about Swift
We work with online retailers and small limited companies across Devon and the UK. Two clients, both arrived in much the same position you are probably in now.
Kieran at Swift is super! He helped and bailed me out of the last minute panic of tax and Companies House returns. He’s on the ball, quick at responding, patient with me and got the job done stress free, plus his rates are very competitive.
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.
What your monthly fee covers
Three things that keep your eCommerce books clean, your tax position clear and your admin manageable — for one fixed monthly fee.
Bookkeeping and Platform Reconciliation
Every payout, fee, refund and charge from your eCommerce platforms reconciled monthly against your bank account. Your records are current, your numbers are accurate, and there is no scramble when the tax return comes around. Xero is used as standard — cloud-based, accessible, and always up to date.
Included as standardVAT Returns and MTD Compliance
Quarterly VAT returns prepared and filed with HMRC, Making Tax Digital compliant as standard. Your VAT registration threshold is monitored throughout the year — you will not approach it without being told. Cross-border and marketplace VAT handled where relevant.
Quarterly, fixed feeCorporation Tax and Annual Accounts
Year-end accounts, CT600 and Companies House confirmation statement handled together for one fixed fee. Because the books are kept current throughout the year, your tax liability is visible months before it is due — which is more useful than finding out at the deadline.
No extras, no surpriseseCommerce businesses across Devon trust Swift
Sole traders, limited companies and growing online retailers. Usually arriving with books in some state of disarray. Leaving with considerably less to worry about.

Why Exeter eCommerce businesses choose Swift
There is no shortage of accountants. Here is what is different about working with one who already understands how eCommerce platforms work.
No explaining how eCommerce works
Shopify payouts, Amazon settlement reports, FBA fees, marketplace VAT obligations — you will not need to spend the first ten minutes of every call explaining your business before getting a useful answer. We work with online retailers regularly. Ask a question, get a specific answer.
Replies the same day
Questions get answered the day you ask them. Not logged, not queued, not passed to a junior — answered. If you want to know whether a piece of kit is deductible or how to treat a platform refund, you will know before the end of the day.
One price, clearly agreed
Your monthly fee is fixed before you start and does not move. No hourly billing, no invoice that arrives larger than expected, no surprise charges for extra emails. Your accounting costs are as predictable as any other fixed overhead.
Up and running in four steps
Four steps from first enquiry to everything being handled. 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, no waiting to be allocated to someone.
A short discovery call
Around twenty minutes to understand your setup, current software and what needs sorting. At 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. You do not need to do anything except confirm you want to proceed.
Ongoing — nothing falls through
Monthly bookkeeping, quarterly VAT, annual accounts and tax return — handled as a matter of course. Your tax position is visible months before it is due. Surprises are largely avoidable when the books are current.
“Kieran was really helpful and very knowledgeable with my circumstance, he gave me great advice and was very efficient with getting my tax’s submitted, really glad I found Swift and will definitely be using for future accounting.”
