Xero Accountant Devon

Your Devon accounts on Xero, properly sorted.

Running a Devon business without a cloud accountant means chasing paperwork that could largely sort itself. VAT deadlines, bank reconciliations and year-end tax all accumulate — and get harder the longer the books are left. Fixed monthly fee, ICAEW chartered, Xero Gold Partner, same-day replies.

  • Books clean and current on Xero every month — no year-end scramble
  • VAT returns filed on time and Making Tax Digital compliant as standard
  • Know your tax position well before HMRC sends the reminder
  • A Xero Gold Partner who already knows how Devon businesses are structured

No long-term contract. If it is not working after three months, you leave with clean Xero records and nothing owed.

Still doing your Devon books without the right setup?

Most small Devon businesses either have no accountant, an accountant who does not use cloud software, or a Xero subscription they are not really using. The books drift behind, VAT deadlines arrive with some urgency, and the year-end tax return becomes a scramble through twelve months of receipts. It is all solvable — it just takes longer the more you leave it.

  • Xero connected but books behind, messy or never properly set up
  • VAT deadlines appearing without a clear picture of what is owed
  • Year-end tax return treated as an annual scramble rather than a known figure

What sorted looks like on Xero

Xero configured correctly, records reconciled monthly and always current. Your VAT position visible before the deadline, not the week of it. Your tax bill a known figure well before HMRC asks — because the books have been clean all year.

  • Xero set up correctly and reconciled every month without you chasing it
  • VAT returns prepared and filed quarterly — no deadline surprises
  • Tax position visible throughout the year, not just when the return is due
  • One fixed monthly fee that covers the lot — no surprises when the invoice arrives

What you get

What your monthly Xero fee covers

Three core services that keep your Xero records accurate, your VAT filing handled and your tax position visible throughout the year — for one fixed monthly fee.

01

Xero Bookkeeping and Reconciliation

Your bank feed, invoices and transactions reconciled on Xero every month. Records are accurate, current and ready whenever a question arises — not just when the year-end deadline is approaching. No more logging in to find six months of unreconciled entries.

Included as standard
02

VAT Returns and Making Tax Digital

Quarterly VAT returns prepared from your Xero data and filed directly with HMRC. Making Tax Digital compliant as standard. You will know what is owed before the deadline, not the morning of it.

Quarterly, fixed fee
03

Annual Accounts and Corporation Tax

Year-end accounts, CT600 and Companies House confirmation statement — all prepared from clean Xero records and filed on time. Because the books are current throughout the year, there is no scramble and no surprises when the bill is calculated.

No extras, no surprises

Why Swift

Why Devon businesses choose Swift for Xero

There is no shortage of accountants in Devon. Here is what is different about working with a Xero Gold Partner who already knows how small businesses in this area are set up.

🟠

Xero Gold Partner — not just a user

Xero Gold Partner status means this is not software we occasionally log into. Bank rules, reconciliation workflows, MTD VAT submissions and management reporting are all set up correctly from day one. You will not spend months discovering that your Xero was configured in a way that causes problems later.

💬

Replies the same day

Questions get answered the day you ask them. Not logged, not queued, not passed along — answered. If you want to know whether an expense is deductible or why your Xero balance does not match your bank, you will have a clear answer before the end of the working day.

🔒

One fixed price, agreed upfront

Your monthly fee is fixed and does not move. No hourly billing, no unexpected invoices, no extra charge every time you send a question. Your accounting cost is as predictable as your other fixed overheads — which is, frankly, the way it should be.

Getting started

Up and running on Xero in four steps

From first enquiry to everything handled in four steps. No complicated paperwork, no lengthy onboarding process that takes longer than you expected.

1

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 response, no waiting for a callback that does not come.

2

A short discovery call

Around twenty minutes to understand your current setup, what software you are using and what needs sorting on your Xero. At the end of the call you will know exactly what is covered, what it costs, and what happens next.

3

We handle the Xero setup

Your Xero is reviewed, configured correctly and brought up to date. Bank feeds, chart of accounts, VAT settings — handled. You do not need to do anything except confirm you want to proceed.

4

Ongoing — nothing falls behind

Monthly bookkeeping, quarterly VAT returns, annual accounts and corporation tax — handled as a matter of course. Your Xero will be current every month, your tax position visible well before it becomes urgent. Surprises are largely avoidable when the books are kept properly.

“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

Questions Devon businesses usually ask first

We are a Xero Gold Partner, which means Xero is the core of how we work — not an add-on. Bank feed setup, reconciliation rules, MTD VAT filing, management reporting — all configured correctly from the start. If your Xero has been set up in a way that causes problems, we will tell you and fix it.
Once your books are current on Xero, your tax position becomes visible throughout the year rather than just at year-end. Most clients have a reasonable picture of what they owe three to four months before the payment deadline — long enough to plan for it rather than scramble.
It is the situation most new clients arrive in. Getting up to date takes a little longer at the start and may cost slightly more for the catch-up period — we will tell you what that looks like before you commit. Once current, keeping it current is straightforward.
No. It is month-to-month with a month’s notice to leave. We would rather keep clients because the service is genuinely useful than because the contract makes leaving inconvenient.
