You should feel able to ask a question, admit something is confusing or share a worry before it grows. That relationship matters as much as the numbers.

A useful quote starts with your circumstances. It should explain what you are paying for and where the boundaries are.
Your fee depends on the work involved: your business structure, transaction volumes, number of employees, reporting needs and the condition of your records.
Tell us what you need. We will talk through a suitable quote.
Your written scope should answer these questions.
| Part of your quote | What to check |
|---|---|
| Services | Which returns, accounts and routine tasks are included? |
| Contact & advice | What ongoing support and meetings does your package cover? |
| Software & costs | Are software subscriptions, VAT on fees and any separate charges clearly explained? |
| Catch-up work | Does earlier bookkeeping or an overdue return need a separate quote? |
| Your agreement | What are the payment terms, service period and notice arrangements? |
A quick question can suit a phone call. A bigger decision may need a proper meeting. We agree how to keep in touch and explain what your package covers.
Changing accountants can feel like another job on an already full list. We explain the steps and help organise the transition with you.
Start with a completely free chat about what is working, what is worrying you and what you need next.
We explain the scope, fee, responsibilities and next steps, so you can make an informed choice.
With your permission, we request relevant records from your previous accountant and help with the required authorisations.
We confirm your contact, review upcoming deadlines and agree how records will reach us.
No obligation to join. We can start by answering your questions.
We help you understand which rules apply, choose a suitable recordkeeping approach and plan the support you need. If you already use accounting software, we start by reviewing your existing setup.
| Qualifying income | Start date |
|---|---|
| Over £50,000 in 2024/25 | 6 April 2026 |
| Over £30,000 in 2025/26 | 6 April 2027 |
| Over £20,000 in 2026/27 | 6 April 2028 |
Qualifying income means combined gross self-employment and property income before expenses. Eligibility and exemptions apply. The rules involve digital records, compatible software, quarterly updates and an annual tax return; quarterly updates are not separate tax returns. Check HMRC’s MTD eligibility guidance .
VAT and CIS have their own reporting requirements. Explore VAT return support and CIS accounting to find the service relevant to you.
Led by founder and CEO Rob Jones, Swift brings accountants and administrators together around a simple aim: making accountancy feel human. We want colleagues to support one another and clients to feel welcome asking for help.
That sense of family matters: knowing your name, listening properly and remembering that the figures on a page affect a real life. It is the spirit we want you to experience from your first conversation with us.
Rob Jones · Founder & CEOStraightforward guides to common tax questions, with a route to personal help when you need it.
You are trusting someone with an important part of your life. It is right to ask questions.
Look for relevant experience, a clear written scope and fee, a named contact and a communication style you feel comfortable with. Ask who does the work, how deadlines are managed and what happens when you need extra help. Read client feedback and meet the team before deciding.
Your needs depend on your business structure, records and confidence with tax responsibilities. An accountant can help you understand the obligations and take on agreed work, giving you more time for your business. Explore our small business accounting support , or ask us what would be useful at your stage.
Bookkeeping keeps day-to-day transactions and records organised. Accounting uses those records to prepare accounts, calculate tax and help you understand the financial picture. We can discuss either service or a package that brings them together through our bookkeeping and compliance support .
There is no useful single price for every business. The work depends on your structure, records, transaction volumes, employees and reporting needs. Swift offers fixed-fee packages with an agreed scope. We explain the services, payment terms, software costs and any additional work in your quote. See how our fees work.
We explain what ongoing advice and contact your package includes before you join. If a question needs work beyond that scope, such as a separate planning project, we discuss the fee before proceeding. You should feel comfortable asking what is included.
You will have a dedicated accountant and agreed contact arrangements. Timing depends on the enquiry and the information needed; a complex tax question may take longer than a routine request. Tell us about urgent deadlines when you contact us, and ask us to confirm the next step and expected timing.
We support clients by phone, email, video and Teams, with office appointments and business visits by arrangement. Our office is in Tattenhall, near Chester, and we work with clients across England and Wales. Visit our contact page to arrange the right kind of conversation.
A change may be possible during the year. We first check upcoming deadlines, your current agreement and any work in progress. With your permission, we contact your previous accountant for relevant information and plan the handover. Read how switching to Swift works.
Tell us where things stand, even if you are unsure what is missing. We can review the position, identify the information needed and quote for catch-up work. If HMRC has written to you, share the letter and any response date promptly. Our late-return guide and HMRC enquiry support are useful starting points.
We can review relevant expenses, allowances and reliefs and explain the tax consequences of your plans. Any benefit depends on your circumstances and the applicable rules. Our tax planning service focuses on informed decisions and lawful tax efficiency; no particular saving is guaranteed.
MTD for Income Tax applies in phases to eligible people with self-employment or property income above the relevant threshold. It uses gross qualifying income, not profit. Check the current timetable above and HMRC’s eligibility guidance. VAT reporting follows a separate set of requirements.
We start by checking what you use, how your records are kept and what reporting you need. Where the setup is suitable and compatible, we discuss how to work with it. If a change is needed, we explain why, the options and any subscription or migration costs before you decide.
With the necessary authorisation, we can act for you within the services you appoint us to provide. You remain responsible for your tax affairs, including accurate information and tax payments. We explain what you need to review, approve or supply. For a letter or investigation, see HMRC enquiry support .
We provide a secure client portal for documents and approvals and explain the appropriate way to share records when you join. Our privacy policy describes how we handle personal information.
No. The initial chat is completely free, with no obligation to join. If you choose to proceed, we explain the engagement terms, services, fee, payment arrangements and notice requirements before you agree.
A brief outline of your business or income, what help you want and any approaching deadlines is enough to start. If you know your current software, approximate turnover or employee numbers, those details help us understand the scope. You do not need a perfect set of records to ask for help.
Our office is at 3 Chowley Court, Chowley Oak, Tattenhall, CH3 9GA. Meet us by appointment, or work with us remotely wherever your business takes you.
These are areas we serve, rather than a list of separate offices. Find our office and contact details .
Tell us what is on your mind. We will listen, explain where we can help and make the next step clear.
No obligation to join. A friendly conversation is a good place to begin.
