Year-End Accounts Devon

Your year-end accounts, handled.

Most Devon business owners leave their year-end accounts longer than they should. The deadline creeps up, the records need work, and the bill from the accountant is never quite what they expected. Fixed monthly fee, ICAEW chartered, same-day replies.

  • Year-end accounts filed accurately and on time — no penalty risk
  • Corporation tax return and Companies House submission handled together
  • Know your tax liability well before HMRC sends the payment reminder
  • A Devon-based chartered accountant who responds the day you ask

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

Sound familiar?

Year-end creeping up with records still not ready?

It is one of the most common situations for Devon small businesses — the financial year ends, the records are incomplete, and the Companies House deadline is closer than expected. Add a corporation tax return on top, and the whole thing starts to feel like a problem that should have been sorted months ago. It is solvable — it just takes longer the more you leave it.

  • Year-end records incomplete with the filing deadline already approaching
  • No clear idea of the corporation tax bill until it actually arrives
  • Companies House and HMRC deadlines to manage at the same time, every year

What a handled year-end looks like

Accounts prepared from clean, current records — not a last-minute reconstruction. Your corporation tax liability visible well before it is due. Companies House and HMRC submissions filed on time, confirmed, and off your desk.

  • Records brought current so the year-end is a process, not a panic
  • Tax position visible throughout the year — no surprise bill at the end
  • Companies House and CT600 filed together, both deadlines tracked
  • Fixed monthly cost that covers the year-end — no invoice you did not expect

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 core elements that keep your limited company compliant, your tax position visible and your year-end straightforward — for one agreed monthly amount.

01

Year-End Accounts and CT600

Your annual statutory accounts prepared and filed with Companies House. The corporation tax return is handled at the same time — one process, one deadline, nothing missed. Prepared from your Xero records, which means no last-minute scramble to reconstruct the year.

Included as standard
02

Bookkeeping and Monthly Reconciliation

Records kept clean and current throughout the year, not just when the year-end approaches. Monthly reconciliation means your figures are accurate when you need them, and the year-end preparation takes a fraction of the time. No archaeology at the eleventh hour.

Available from the Complete Plan
03

VAT Returns and HMRC Compliance

Quarterly VAT returns prepared and filed under Making Tax Digital as standard. Your VAT position is monitored throughout the year — you will not approach the threshold without knowing it. HMRC correspondence handled before it sits in a drawer getting worse.

Quarterly, fixed fee
What clients say

Devon businesses trust Swift with their accounts

Sole traders, limited companies and growing small businesses across Devon. Usually arriving with records in some state of disarray. Leaving with considerably less to worry about.

Why Swift

Why Devon businesses choose Swift

There is no shortage of accountants in Devon. Here is what is different about working with a chartered accountant who responds the same day and charges a fixed fee.

📋

Year-end is not a surprise

When your books are kept current throughout the year, the year-end accounts become a process rather than a problem. There is no reconstruction, no missing invoices to chase, and no bill larger than expected. Preparation takes days, not weeks.

💬

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 something is deductible, or what your tax bill is looking like this quarter, you will know before the end of the day.

🔒

One price, agreed upfront

Your monthly fee is fixed before you start and does not move. No hourly billing, no charge for every phone call, no invoice that arrives larger than expected. Your accounting costs are as predictable as any other fixed overhead.

Getting started

Up and running in four steps

Four steps from initial enquiry to your accounts being handled. No complicated onboarding, no forms that need a lawyer to understand.

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, no call centre.

2

A short discovery call

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

3

We handle the setup

Your accounting software is connected, any catch-up work is agreed and scoped, and everything is configured correctly from the start. You confirm you want to proceed — we handle the rest.

4

Ongoing — nothing falls through

Bookkeeping kept current, VAT returns filed quarterly, year-end accounts and corporation tax handled as a matter of course. Your tax position is visible throughout the year, not just when HMRC asks for it. Surprises are largely avoidable when the records are current.

“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.”

Questions

Questions Devon business owners usually ask first

It is rarely too late, though the closer the deadline, the more concentrated the catch-up work is at the start. We will be honest with you about the scope and cost of getting up to date before quoting. Once current, keeping it that way is the straightforward part.
Once your books are current and maintained monthly, your tax liability becomes visible throughout the year rather than only at the end of it. Most clients have a reasonable idea of what they owe three to four months before the payment is due — long enough to plan, not just react.
Swift is cloud-based, which means geography is not a constraint. We are based in Barnstaple and work with clients across Devon and across the UK. Everything runs through Xero and remote communication — no office visits required unless you want them.
No. Month-to-month, with a month’s notice to cancel. We would rather keep clients because the service is worth it than because the exit is inconvenient.
