Not sure what your new company actually needs?
Most people starting a limited company in Plymouth know they need an accountant but are less clear on what that actually covers, what they are obliged to file and when, and what is going to cost them further down the line. Corporation tax, director payroll, VAT registration thresholds, confirmation statements — it adds up. Getting the right setup early avoids costly corrections later.
- No clear picture of what filing obligations a new limited company carries
- Tax bill arrives at year-end with no idea what to expect or how to plan for it
- Questions piling up with nowhere useful to send them
What sorted looks like from the start
Filing obligations mapped out and handled as a matter of course. Your tax position visible throughout the year, not only when HMRC asks for payment. Questions answered the day you ask them — by the same person, every time.
- All filing obligations handled — nothing missed, nothing late
- Tax position visible throughout the year, not just at year-end
- Questions answered same day by a named chartered accountant
- A fixed monthly fee that does not move however many questions you ask
What new business owners say about Swift
We work with startups and newly formed limited companies across the UK. Here are two clients who came to us at much the same stage you are probably at now.
What a guy!! Excellent, fast and reliable. Kieran has been very professional, caring, patient and efficient throughout the entire process of building our company. He was always one click away from every possible question we could throw at him.
When I needed information on Accounting for my business, Kieran was the man. As a newly established business, the accounts can seem very daunting, but Kieran very kindly answered all my questions and helped me understand the processes.
What your monthly fee covers
Three areas that keep your startup compliant, your tax position clear and your admin manageable — for one fixed monthly fee.
Limited Company Accounts and Filing
Annual accounts, corporation tax return and Companies House confirmation statement prepared and filed on time. Your statutory obligations are handled as standard — no chasing, no last-minute scrambles, no penalties for things that should simply not be missed.
Included as standardBookkeeping and Monthly Records
Your records kept clean and current in Xero every month. When the tax return comes around there is nothing to untangle, and your numbers are accurate enough to make real decisions throughout the year rather than only at year-end.
Monthly, fixed feeDirector Payroll and Tax Planning
Director salary structured correctly from the outset, with RTI submissions to HMRC handled each month. Getting the salary and dividend split right early can make a material difference to what you pay — and it is considerably easier to do it right from the start.
No extras, no surprisesStartups and small companies across the UK trust Swift
Sole traders turning limited, brand-new companies and established small businesses. Usually arriving with questions they have not been able to get a straight answer to. Leaving with considerably less to worry about.
Helpful, Knowledgeable, and Efficient From the Start
“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.”
Switched Accountants and Already Saving Money
“Having only recently switched my business to Swift from another accountant, I have found them efficient, friendly and professional, and they’re already saving me money. Would recommend. Nic Paton, Cormorant Media”
On the Ball, Competitive Rates, No Panic Required
“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.”
Why Plymouth startups choose Swift
There is no shortage of accountants. Here is what is different about working with one who already understands what a new limited company actually needs.
Built for new limited companies
Director payroll structure, corporation tax planning, VAT registration thresholds — you will not need to explain the basics before getting a useful answer. We set up and run accounts for new limited companies regularly. The questions you have not thought to ask yet are usually the ones that matter most, and we raise them first.
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 whether an expense is deductible, or what your corporation tax liability looks like based on current figures, you will have a clear answer before the end of the day.
One price, clearly agreed
Your monthly fee is fixed and does not move. No hourly billing, no charges for questions, no invoice that arrives larger than expected. Your accounting costs are as predictable as any other fixed overhead — which, for a business in its early stages, is precisely what you need.
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 personally and responds the same day with a clear next step. No automated holding messages.
A short discovery call
Twenty minutes to understand your company setup, what you are currently using to keep records and what needs sorting. At the end of the call you will know exactly what is covered, what it costs and when things get done.
We handle the setup
Your Xero account is connected, your records are brought up to date and your filing calendar is mapped out. You do not need to do anything except confirm you want to proceed.
Ongoing — nothing falls through
Monthly bookkeeping, director payroll, quarterly VAT, annual accounts and corporation tax — all handled as a matter of course. Your tax position is visible throughout the year. Surprises are largely avoidable when the books are current, and filing deadlines are someone else’s problem.
“I’ve been using Swift Accounting for two years now after my previous accountant retired and recommended Kieran. Excellent and prompt service, great communications and above all really helpful. Highly recommend.”
