Tax Planning Exeter
Your Exeter tax bill, planned in advance.
Most Exeter businesses find out what they owe around the time they have to pay it. That is not planning — it is reacting. Good tax planning means knowing your liability months ahead and doing something useful with that time. Fixed monthly fee, ICAEW chartered, same-day replies.
- Tax liability visible months before HMRC sends the reminder
- Legal tax reduction opportunities identified before the year-end closes
- Corporation tax, self assessment and VAT handled under one fixed fee
- Proactive advice from a chartered accountant — not just compliance filing
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 is this year?
For most small Exeter businesses, tax is something that gets dealt with once a year, under pressure, with imperfect records. The bill arrives and there is not much left to do except pay it. Allowable deductions get missed. Timing decisions that could have helped are now behind you. It is all manageable — it just works considerably better when you are looking at it months ahead rather than days before the deadline.
- Tax bill arriving as a surprise rather than something planned for
- Legitimate deductions and reliefs missed because no one flagged them in time
- No clear view of the numbers until year-end, when the options have mostly gone
What proactive tax planning looks like
Your tax position visible throughout the year, not just at the end. Reliefs and deductions identified while there is still time to act on them. A fixed monthly cost that covers the planning as well as the filing — no separate invoice when you ask a question.
- Tax liability known months in advance — time to plan, not just react
- Deductions and reliefs reviewed before the year-end window closes
- Books current all year — so the numbers are there when you need them
- One fixed monthly fee covering both planning and compliance — no extras

What your monthly fee covers
Three areas that cover your compliance obligations and keep your tax position clear throughout the year — for one agreed monthly fee.
Proactive Tax Planning and Advice
Your tax position is reviewed throughout the year, not just when the return is due. Allowable deductions, timing of expenditure, dividend versus salary split for director-shareholders — these are reviewed proactively, while there is still time to act. You will know what you owe well before HMRC asks.
Included — not charged separatelyCorporation Tax and Self Assessment
CT600 prepared and filed on time, every year. Personal tax returns handled for directors where needed. No last-minute scramble, no missed deadlines, no penalty notices — the dates are managed as a matter of course.
Fixed fee, no surprisesBookkeeping and VAT Returns
Monthly bookkeeping on Xero keeps your records current and your numbers accurate throughout the year. Quarterly VAT returns prepared and filed under Making Tax Digital — no chasing, no manual uploads, no compliance risk.
MTD compliant as standardSmall businesses across Devon trust Swift
Sole traders, limited companies and growing small businesses from Exeter to Barnstaple and beyond. Usually arriving with tax they did not fully understand. Leaving with considerably more clarity.
Worked Saturday Night to File on Time
“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.”
Prompt, Helpful, Two Years Running
“Excellent and prompt service, great communications and above all really helpful. Highly recommend.”
Fast Work at Short Notice, Multiple Times
“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 businesses choose Swift
There is no shortage of accountants in and around Exeter. Here is what is different about working with one who treats tax planning as part of the job, not an optional extra.
Planning, not just filing
Most accountants file your return after the year ends. We review your position throughout the year — dividend strategy, timing of expenditure, relief claims — while there is still time to influence the outcome. The tax return is the record of the planning, not the start of it.
Replies the same day
Questions get answered the day you ask them. Not logged, not queued, not passed along. If you want to know whether a purchase is deductible, or how a new contract affects your tax position, you will have an answer before the end of the working day.
One fixed price, agreed upfront
Your monthly fee covers the planning conversations, the compliance work and the questions in between. No hourly billing, no invoice that arrives larger than expected. Ask as many questions as you like — the price does not move.
Up and running in four steps
Four steps from your first enquiry to everything being handled. No complicated onboarding, no forms that take longer than the work itself.
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 to be allocated to someone.
A short discovery call
Around twenty minutes to understand your business, your current tax position and what needs sorting. By the end of the call you will know exactly what is included and what it costs — no ambiguity.
We handle the setup
Accounting software connected, records brought up to date, any outstanding obligations reviewed. You do not need to do much beyond confirming you want to proceed — the setup is handled.
Ongoing — your tax is visible
From here, your books are current every month, your tax position is visible throughout the year, and the filing deadlines are managed as a matter of course. You will know what you owe well before it is due. Which is, frankly, the way it should be.
“Kieran came recommended to us and for good reason. He was fast, professional and very patient when answering our long list of questions.”
