Sole Trader Accounts Devon
Your sole trader accounts, sorted.
Most sole traders in Devon manage their own books until the self assessment deadline starts to feel uncomfortably close. Tracking income, finding receipts and working out what you actually owe takes longer than it should — and gets messier the longer it sits. Fixed monthly fee, ICAEW chartered, same-day replies.
- Self assessment filed accurately and well before the January deadline
- A running view of your tax position throughout the year, not just at the end
- Allowable expenses reviewed properly — you pay only what you owe
- VAT threshold monitored — no unexpected registration obligations
No long-term contract. If it is not working after three months, you leave with clean books and nothing owed.

Sound familiar?
Still not sure what your tax bill will be this year?
For most sole traders in Devon, the self assessment return arrives as a surprise — not because the numbers are complicated, but because the records were never kept in a way that made the answer obvious. Expenses go untracked. Income goes unreconciled. The deadline arrives before anything is ready. It is all solvable — it just takes longer the more you leave it.
- Self assessment deadline arriving before the books are anywhere near ready
- No clear view of tax owed until the return is actually filed
- Allowable expenses missed throughout the year because nothing was tracked properly
What sorted looks like
Records kept current every month so the self assessment is not a last-minute scramble. A reasonable estimate of your tax bill visible well before January. Expenses reviewed properly so you are not paying more than you owe.
- Books current every month — no year-end archaeology to get through
- Tax liability visible throughout the year, not just when the deadline arrives
- Allowable expenses identified and claimed — less paid to HMRC than necessary
- A fixed monthly cost that does not move regardless of how many questions you ask
What sole traders in Devon say
We work with self-employed people across Devon and the UK. Here are two clients who came to us in much the same situation you are probably in now.
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 monthly fee covers
Three things that keep your records accurate, your tax position clear and your admin manageable — for one fixed monthly fee.
Self Assessment and Tax Return
Your personal tax return prepared accurately and filed on time, every year. Allowable expenses are reviewed properly — business costs, mileage, use of home, equipment — so you pay only what you genuinely owe. You will know the figure well before the January deadline.
Included as standardMonthly Bookkeeping on Xero
Income and expenses recorded and reconciled every month so your records are never in disarray when the tax return comes around. Xero is set up and maintained for you — no spreadsheets, no folders of receipts left until December.
Clean records, every monthTax Advice and VAT Monitoring
Your VAT threshold is monitored throughout the year so you are not surprised by a registration obligation you were not expecting. Proactive advice on allowable expenses, tax planning and any HMRC queries — handled before they become a problem.
Proactive, not reactiveSole traders across Devon trust Swift
Tradespeople, consultants, freelancers and the self-employed. Usually arriving with books in some state of disarray. Leaving with considerably less to worry about.
Two Years In, Still Highly Recommending

Why sole traders in Devon choose Swift
There is no shortage of accountants. Here is what is different about working with one who already understands how self-employed businesses work.
Already knows how sole traders operate
Mixed income, variable expenses, mileage claims, use of home, equipment purchased mid-year — you will not need to explain the basics before getting a useful answer. We work with sole traders and the self-employed every day. The questions you expect to be awkward usually are not.
Questions answered the same day
Ask whether something is deductible, what you should set aside for tax, or how a new income stream affects your position — you will have an answer before the end of the day. Not queued, not passed along, not in a newsletter three weeks later.
One price, agreed upfront
Your monthly fee is fixed and does not move. No hourly billing, no invoice that arrives larger than expected, no extras for additional questions. Your accounting costs are as predictable as any other fixed overhead.
Up and running in four steps
Four steps from enquiry to everything being handled. No complicated onboarding, no forms that need a lawyer to interpret.
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 for a callback.
A short discovery call
Around twenty minutes to understand your setup, what income you have, what records exist and what needs sorting. By 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, any outstanding records are brought up to date and everything is configured on your behalf. You do not need to do anything except confirm you want to go ahead.
Ongoing — nothing falls through
Monthly bookkeeping, your annual self assessment, VAT threshold monitoring and any HMRC correspondence — handled as a matter of course. You will know your tax position well before January makes it urgent. Surprises are largely avoidable when the books are current.
“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 sole traders usually ask first
Less time on the books. More on the work.
Fixed monthly fee. Self assessment handled. Tax position visible throughout the year. Same-day replies. No lock-in.
