Sound familiar?

Not sure where your limited company accounts actually stand?

For many small company directors in Barnstaple, the year-end accounts sit somewhere between vague concern and mild dread. The confirmation statement deadline creeps up, the corporation tax return needs the bookkeeping to be in order first, and the bookkeeping is rarely quite as tidy as planned. None of it is insurmountable — it just gets heavier the longer it sits.

  • Year-end accounts filed in a rush because the books were not ready
  • No clear picture of corporation tax liability until the bill is almost due
  • Companies House and HMRC deadlines managed separately, manually, with one eye on the calendar

What sorted looks like

Accounts prepared from clean monthly records — no scramble at year end. Corporation tax calculated and visible well before it is due, so there is time to plan rather than just react. Companies House filings handled as a matter of course, without prompting.

  • Books clean and current — accounts prepared without the year-end scramble
  • Corporation tax liability visible months in advance, not weeks after the deadline
  • HMRC and Companies House filings handled and confirmed — less to track yourself
  • One fixed monthly fee covering all of it, agreed upfront

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 you get

What your monthly fee covers

Three core components that keep your limited company compliant, your tax position visible and your admin manageable — for one fixed monthly fee.

01

Year-End Accounts and Corporation Tax

Annual statutory accounts prepared from your records and filed with Companies House, alongside your CT600 corporation tax return submitted to HMRC. Your tax liability is calculated in advance so you know what is owed and when — no last-minute surprises when the deadline arrives.

Included as standard
02

Bookkeeping and Ongoing Records

Monthly bookkeeping on Xero keeps your records clean, reconciled and ready. Clean books are what make everything else — your accounts, your tax return, your VAT position — straightforward rather than slow. It is also what makes the year-end cost predictable.

From the Complete Plan
03

Companies House and HMRC Filings

Confirmation statements, registered office updates and director changes handled without prompting. HMRC correspondence reviewed and responded to as part of the service. The statutory calendar is monitored so nothing approaches its deadline unannounced.

No extras, no surprises

Why Swift

Why Barnstaple limited companies choose Swift

There is no shortage of accountants. Here is what makes a practical difference when you are running a small limited company and would rather not think about the admin.

📋

No explaining your business from scratch

Dividends versus salary, director loan accounts, the difference between a capital purchase and an operating expense — you will not need to spend the first twenty minutes of every conversation catching up. Small limited companies are what we work with every day. Ask a question and get a useful answer.

💬

Replies the same day

Questions get answered the day you ask them. Not logged in a ticket system, not queued for a weekly call — answered. If a letter arrives from HMRC and you are not sure what it means, you will know before the end of the working day.

🔒

One price, clearly agreed

Your monthly fee is fixed from the first conversation and does not change unless your requirements do. No hourly billing, no invoice that arrives higher than expected, no charge for a brief question. Your accounting cost is as predictable as any other fixed overhead.

Getting started

Up and running in four steps

From first enquiry to everything being handled takes about ten minutes of your time. The rest is ours.

1

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.

2

A short discovery call

Twenty minutes to understand your company, current records and what needs sorting. By the end of the call you will know exactly what is covered, what it costs and when everything will be in order.

3

We handle the setup

Your Xero account is configured, your records are connected and any historical catch-up is scoped and agreed. You do not need to do much beyond confirming you want to proceed.

4

Ongoing — nothing falls through

Monthly bookkeeping, quarterly VAT, annual accounts and corporation tax — all handled as a matter of course. Your tax position is visible throughout the year. Deadlines are tracked, filings are made, and Companies House correspondence is not something you will need to monitor yourself.

“One of the friendliest accounting companies I’ve ever spoken to. I was fairly stressed about all of the big terms HMRC use, but Kieran explained everything in the best possible way, told me the price they’d charge after 5 minutes of speaking.”

Questions

Questions limited company directors usually ask first

Yes. The Essentials Plan covers your year-end accounts, CT600 corporation tax return, HMRC submission and Companies House filing for one fixed monthly fee from £50 plus VAT. There is nothing hidden on top. The confirmation statement is a small annual add-on at £60 plus VAT, and payroll, bookkeeping and VAT returns are available on higher plans or as extras.
Once your bookkeeping is current, your tax liability becomes visible throughout the year rather than just at the end. Most clients have a clear picture three to four months before the payment deadline — long enough to set money aside or adjust how they are drawing income, rather than simply reacting to the number.
It is why most people come to us. Getting up to date takes a little longer at the start and may cost slightly more — we will tell you exactly what that looks like before any work begins. Once current, keeping it current is straightforward.
No. Month-to-month, with a month’s notice to cancel. We would rather keep clients because the service is worth it than because leaving is inconvenient.
