Sound familiar?

Still not sure what your tax bill is going to be?

Year-end accounts have a habit of arriving as an event rather than a process. Records that were meant to be kept up throughout the year, a corporation tax liability that nobody quantified until the deadline was close, and a Companies House confirmation statement that nearly slipped through entirely. It is all manageable — it just takes longer the more you leave it.

  • Tax bill arrives as a surprise because the books were never current
  • Annual accounts left until the last minute, records in need of serious work
  • Companies House deadlines and HMRC filings tracked mentally, not systematically

What sorted looks like

Your tax position visible throughout the year, not just at the end of it. Annual accounts prepared without a last-minute scramble. Companies House and HMRC filings handled as a matter of course, not as a crisis.

  • Tax liability known months before it is due — no end-of-year surprise
  • Annual accounts prepared from clean, current records — no archaeology
  • Companies House and HMRC deadlines tracked and filed without reminders from you
  • A fixed monthly cost that does not move, regardless of how many questions you ask

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 you get

What your fixed monthly fee covers

Three things that keep your accounts filed on time, your tax position clear and your statutory obligations handled — for one agreed monthly fee.

01

Year-End Accounts and Corporation Tax

Your annual accounts prepared from clean records, reviewed with you before submission and filed with both HMRC and Companies House. Your CT600 is calculated and submitted on time, with your tax liability quantified well before the payment deadline rather than the day before it.

Included as standard
02

Companies House Filings

Confirmation statement, registered office updates, director changes — all handled without you needing to track the deadlines yourself. Nothing falls through because nobody remembered to check the filing date.

Tracked and filed for you
03

Bookkeeping and Records

Monthly bookkeeping on Xero means your records are current when it matters, not reconstructed at year-end from a folder of receipts. Your accounts are ready when the deadline arrives, not scrambled together to meet it.

Clean books, every month

Why Swift

Why Barnstaple businesses choose Swift

There is no shortage of accountants in Devon. Here is what tends to matter once you have worked with one who does things differently.

📋

Your tax bill, not a shock

When the books are current throughout the year, your corporation tax liability becomes visible long before it is due. Most clients have a clear picture three to four months in advance. That is long enough to plan, rather than just react when the payment date arrives.

💬

Replies the same day

Questions get answered the day you ask them. Not logged, not queued, not passed to someone who will get back to you. If you want to know whether something is deductible or when your next filing deadline is, you will know before the end of the day.

🔒

One price, clearly agreed

Your monthly fee is fixed and does not change. No hourly billing, no invoice that arrives larger than expected, no charge for a quick question. Your accounting cost is as predictable as any other fixed overhead in your business.

Getting started

Up and running in four steps

Four steps from enquiry to everything being handled. No complicated onboarding, no forms that require a solicitor.

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 messages.

2

A short discovery call

Twenty minutes to understand your current setup, what records you have and what needs sorting. By the end of the call you will know exactly what is covered and what it costs — no obligation to proceed.

3

We handle the setup

Your accounting software is connected, your records are brought up to date and any outstanding filings are identified. You do not need to do anything except confirm you want to go ahead.

4

Ongoing — nothing falls through

Annual accounts, corporation tax, Companies House filings — all handled as a matter of course. You will know your tax position well before it becomes urgent. Surprises are largely avoidable when the books are current.

Questions

Questions Barnstaple businesses usually ask first

Your statutory annual accounts, the CT600 corporation tax return filed with HMRC, and submission to Companies House. If you are on the Complete or Premium plan, your VAT returns and bookkeeping are included alongside those. The Essentials plan covers accounts and tax as a standalone if that is all you need.
Once your books are current, your corporation tax liability becomes visible throughout the year rather than only at the deadline. Most clients have a clear figure three to four months before payment is due — long enough to set funds aside rather than find them at short notice.
It is why most people come to us. Getting up to date takes a little longer at the start and may cost slightly more in the first period — we will tell you exactly what is involved upfront. Once the records are current, keeping them that way is straightforward.
No. Month-to-month, cancel with a month’s notice. We would rather keep clients because the service is worth it than because the contract makes leaving inconvenient.
