Sound familiar?
Still not sure what your tax bill is this year?
It is a surprisingly common situation. Business is ticking along, invoices are going out, money is coming in — and somewhere in the background, a tax liability is building that nobody has quite quantified yet. Often it only becomes visible when the year-end arrives, which is rarely the best time to do anything about it. It is solvable — it just takes longer the more you leave it.
- No real visibility on tax position until the bill actually lands
- Year-end accounts rushed under pressure with no time to plan ahead
- HMRC correspondence sitting unread because there is no one to deal with it
What sorted looks like
Your tax liability becomes visible throughout the year, not just at the end of it. Year-end accounts are prepared without scrambling, because the books are already current. HMRC correspondence gets handled before it has a chance to escalate.
- Tax position tracked throughout the year — no year-end ambush
- Accounts prepared on time with no last-minute information requests
- HMRC correspondence handled — less of it reaches you at all
- A fixed monthly cost that covers your tax planning from the start
What Barnstaple business owners say
We work with small limited companies and sole traders across North Devon. Here are two clients who came to us in roughly the situation you are probably in now.
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.
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.
What your monthly fee covers
Three things that keep your tax position clear, your obligations met and your admin manageable — for one fixed monthly fee, agreed upfront.
Tax Planning and Corporation Tax
Your tax liability becomes visible throughout the year, not just when the CT600 is due. Allowable deductions are identified, your position is reviewed regularly, and you know what to expect well before the payment deadline. No surprises at year-end.
Proactive, year-roundSelf Assessment and Personal Tax
Personal tax returns prepared accurately and filed on time. Every allowable expense is identified and your return is reviewed before submission — you pay what you owe, not more. The January deadline stops being something you think about in December.
Filed on time, every timeBookkeeping, VAT and HMRC Compliance
Clean, current records every month on Xero. VAT returns prepared and filed quarterly, Making Tax Digital compliant as standard. Less HMRC correspondence, and the records that make everything else — your accounts, your tax return, your planning — straightforward.
MTD compliant, fixed feeSmall businesses across Barnstaple trust Swift
Sole traders, limited companies and growing small businesses. Usually arriving with books in some state of disarray. Leaving with considerably less to worry about.

Why Barnstaple businesses choose Swift
There is no shortage of accountants in Devon. Here is what is different about working with one who is local, chartered, and already knows how small limited companies work.
Tax position visible all year
Most accountants see your numbers once a year. At Swift, your books are current every month, which means your tax liability is visible long before it becomes urgent. You will know what to expect three to four months before the payment is due — long enough to plan, not just react.
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 a cost is deductible, or whether you are approaching the VAT threshold, you will have an answer before the end of the day.
One price, clearly agreed
Your monthly fee is fixed and does not move. No hourly billing, no invoice that arrives larger than expected, no extras for asking questions. Your accounting costs are as predictable as your other fixed overheads — which is, frankly, the way it should be.
Up and running in four steps
From first enquiry to everything being handled takes less time than most people expect. No complicated onboarding, no forms that need a lawyer.

Monthly bookkeeping, quarterly VAT, annual accounts and corporation tax — handled as a matter of course. Your tax position is visible throughout the year. Surprises are largely avoidable when the books are current.
