Sound familiar?
Still not sure what your business made last month?
Most Barnstaple business owners are running on instinct and bank balance, which is fine until it is not. Without regular management accounts, problems show up late — cash shortfalls, margins quietly eroding, a tax bill larger than expected. None of that is unusual. It is solvable — it just takes longer the more you leave it.
- No clear picture of profitability until the year-end accounts arrive
- Cash flow decisions made on gut feel rather than current figures
- Tax bills arriving as a surprise because no one was tracking the position
What sorted looks like
A monthly or quarterly summary of your business performance, prepared and explained in plain language. Your profitability is visible throughout the year. Your tax position is tracked as a matter of course, not discovered in a panic.
- Monthly or quarterly accounts showing exactly where your business stands
- Cash flow and profitability tracked so decisions are based on current data
- Tax position monitored throughout the year — no year-end surprises
- A fixed monthly cost that does not move regardless of how many questions you ask

Why Barnstaple businesses choose Swift
There is no shortage of accountants in Devon. Here is what is different about working with one who prepares management accounts as a matter of course, not as an afterthought.
Numbers explained, not just filed
Management accounts are only useful if you can act on them. Every set of accounts is accompanied by a plain-language summary of what the numbers mean for your business. You will not receive a spreadsheet and be left to interpret it.
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 what a figure in your management accounts means, or whether you can afford a particular decision, you will know before the end of the day.
One price, clearly agreed
Your monthly fee is fixed from the outset and does not change. No hourly billing, no invoice that arrives larger than expected, no charge per question asked. Your accounting costs are as predictable as any other fixed overhead.
Up and running in four steps
From first enquiry to your first set of management accounts is straightforward. No complicated onboarding, no forms that need a lawyer.
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 business, your current records and what you want to see each month. At the end of the call you will know exactly what is covered, how often, and what it costs.
We handle the setup
Your accounting software is connected, your records are brought up to date and the reporting format is agreed. You do not need to do anything except confirm you want to proceed.
Ongoing — nothing falls through
Each month or quarter, your management accounts are prepared and sent with a plain-language summary. Your tax position is tracked as a matter of course. Surprises are largely avoidable when the books are current.
