Sound familiar?
Still not sure what your tax bill is going to be?
Self assessment trips most people up the same way. Records scattered across bank statements, PayPal exports and a folder of receipts that may or may not be complete. The return gets filed eventually, usually late January, usually in a hurry, and the bill arrives with no time to plan around it. It is solvable — it just takes longer the more you leave it.
- Tax return filed late in January with incomplete records and no time to plan
- No real idea what the bill will be until HMRC confirms it
- Allowable expenses missed because no one checked what actually qualifies
What sorted looks like
Records organised, return filed well before the January deadline. Your tax liability visible throughout the year, not just when the demand arrives. Every deduction that legitimately applies, claimed correctly the first time.
- Return filed ahead of January — records in order before Christmas
- Tax position visible months before HMRC asks for payment
- Every allowable deduction reviewed — you pay only what you owe
- Fixed monthly cost, agreed upfront — no invoice that surprises you

We handle self assessment for sole traders, directors and self-employed individuals across Exeter, Braunton and beyond. Here are two clients who came to us in much the same position.
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.
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.
What your self assessment fee covers
Three things that keep your tax return accurate, your liability visible and your records ready when HMRC needs them — for one fixed fee.
Self Assessment Tax Return
Your return prepared and filed with HMRC, accurately and on time. Every allowable deduction reviewed — employment costs, home office, mileage, equipment, professional fees — so you pay only what you legitimately owe. No scramble in January, no guesswork.
Filed on time, every timeTax Planning and Deduction Review
Before your return is filed, your income and expenses are reviewed for anything that reduces the bill legitimately. Most first-time clients find something they had been missing. The review takes minutes on your end — the savings are worth it.
Included as standardYear-Round Tax Visibility
Once your records are current, your estimated tax liability becomes visible throughout the year — not just at the deadline. Most clients have a clear picture three to four months before payment is due, which is long enough to plan around it rather than react.
No surprises at year-endSelf-employed clients across Devon trust Swift
Sole traders, directors and self-employed professionals across Exeter and the North Devon coast. Usually arriving with their paperwork in some state of disarray. Leaving with considerably less to worry about.
Two Years In, Still Highly Recommending

“Great work by Kieran sorting out my business accounts really fast and at short notice on multiple occasions. Many thanks and I would highly recommend them for all accounting needs.”
Why Exeter clients choose Swift
There is no shortage of accountants in Devon. Here is what is different about working with one who is chartered, cloud-based and responds the same day.
Your tax bill, known in advance
Once your records are current, your tax liability is visible throughout the year — not just when HMRC sends the demand. Most clients know roughly what they owe by October, which gives enough time to set aside the funds without disrupting cash flow. That is, frankly, the way it should be.
Replies the same day
Questions get answered the day you ask them. Not logged, not queued, not acknowledged with a holding message. If you want to know whether a cost is deductible, or what happens if your income changes this year, you will know before the end of the day.
One price, clearly agreed
Your fee is fixed and does not move. No hourly billing, no invoice that arrives larger than expected because something took longer. The cost of your self assessment is agreed at the outset and stays there regardless of how many questions you ask.
Up and running in four steps
From initial enquiry to your return being handled, the process is straightforward. Nothing that needs a lawyer, nothing that needs a filing cabinet.
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 a week to hear back.
A short discovery call
Twenty minutes to understand your income sources, current records and what needs sorting before the return can be filed. By the end of the call you will know exactly what is covered and what it costs — no ambiguity.
We handle the paperwork
Your records are reviewed, any gaps identified, and the return prepared for your approval before submission. You confirm the figures and it goes to HMRC. The parts you find least enjoyable are handled.
Filed, and no surprises
Your return is submitted ahead of the deadline with every legitimate deduction applied. Your tax liability is confirmed well before payment is due, and you go into next year with your records already in order. Which is considerably less to worry about.
