Sound familiar?

Still not sure what your tax bill is going to be?

Self assessment catches most people out in the same way. The deadline is further away than it feels until suddenly it is not, the records need work before anything can be filed, and there is always the nagging worry that something deductible has been missed. It is solvable — it just takes longer the more you leave it.

  • Filing close to the January deadline with records not yet in order
  • No clear view of the tax bill until it actually arrives from HMRC
  • Deductions and allowances left unclaimed because you were not sure what qualified

What a sorted return looks like

Your records are pulled together and reviewed well before the deadline. Your tax position is calculated early, so the bill is not a surprise. Every allowable deduction is identified before anything is submitted to HMRC.

  • Return filed accurately and well ahead of the January deadline
  • Tax liability calculated months before HMRC asks for payment
  • Every deduction and allowance identified — you pay only what you owe
  • A fixed fee agreed upfront — no surprises on the accounting bill either

What self assessment clients in Barnstaple say

Two clients who came to us with their return overdue and their records in varying states of order. Both left with considerably less to worry about.

★★★★★

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.

What you get

What your self assessment fee covers

Three things that keep your tax return accurate, your bill predictable and the whole process considerably less painful than doing it yourself.

01

Self Assessment Tax Return

Your return is prepared, reviewed and filed with HMRC accurately and on time. Every allowable deduction is identified before submission — employment income, self-employment income, rental income, dividends or capital gains, whichever applies to your situation. You pay what you owe, not more.

Accurately filed, on time
02

Tax Position and Advance Planning

Once your records are current, your estimated tax liability becomes visible throughout the year rather than only at the end of it. Most clients have a clear picture of what they owe three to four months before the deadline — long enough to plan, not just react. No more bill arriving as a surprise in January.

No January surprises
03

Bookkeeping to Support Your Return

If your records are behind or disorganised, that is handled first. Getting up to date takes a little more work at the start and we will tell you the cost upfront — once current, keeping them current is straightforward. A well-kept set of records means a faster, more accurate return every year.

Records in order, every year

Price Quoted Clearly After Five Minutes

“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.”

Why Swift

Why Barnstaple residents choose Swift

There is no shortage of accountants willing to file a tax return. Here is what tends to make the difference once people have worked with Kieran.

📋

Every deduction found, not just the obvious ones

Allowable expenses, home office costs, mileage, professional subscriptions, capital allowances — the full picture is reviewed before anything is submitted. Most people who file their own return miss something. It is not always obvious what qualifies, and HMRC is not in the habit of pointing it out.

💬

Replies the same day you ask

Questions get answered the day you ask them. If you want to know whether a particular cost is deductible, or what happens if your income has changed this year, you will have an answer before the end of the day. No waiting, no chasing, no being passed around.

🔒

One fixed fee, agreed upfront

Your fee is agreed before any work begins and does not change regardless of how many questions you ask along the way. No hourly billing, no invoice that arrives larger than expected. Accounting costs that are as predictable as any other fixed overhead.

Getting started

Getting your return sorted in four steps

From first enquiry to return filed, the process is straightforward. No complicated onboarding, no forms that require a solicitor to interpret.

1

Send your enquiry

Fill in the form on this page. Kieran reads every enquiry and responds the same day with a clear next step. There are no automated holding messages or queues to work through.

2

A short call to understand your situation

Usually around twenty minutes. Kieran will ask about your income sources, current records and anything that may affect your return. By the end of the call you will know exactly what is covered, what it costs, and what happens next.

3

Records reviewed and return prepared

Your income and expenses are reviewed, every relevant deduction is identified, and your return is prepared for your approval before it goes anywhere near HMRC. You review it, confirm it is accurate, and it is filed.

4

Filed, confirmed, done

Your return is submitted, HMRC confirmation is passed to you, and your tax position is clear for the year. Next January, the process is faster because the groundwork is already done. Surprises are largely avoidable when the records are current.

Questions

Questions about self assessment in Barnstaple

It is the situation most people arrive in. Getting records up to date takes a little more work at the start and may cost slightly more than a straightforward return — we will tell you the exact figure before any work begins. Once current, keeping them in order is considerably easier.
Once your income and expenses are reviewed, your estimated liability becomes clear well before the January deadline. Most clients have a reasonable figure three to four months in advance — long enough to set aside the right amount rather than scramble for it.
Yes — self-employment income, employment income, rental income, dividends and capital gains can all appear on the same return. Each source is reviewed separately to ensure the correct allowances apply. You will not need to explain the basics before getting a useful answer.
No. Month-to-month, cancel with a month’s notice. Many clients start with a one-off self assessment return and move to an ongoing arrangement once they see how it works. Either way, there is no lock-in.
