Fixed monthly fees — clear inclusions, no surprises Hospitality-focused support — plain-English advice, fast answers Compliance handled — HMRC deadlines kept under control (so you can focus on service, sales and profit)
Hospitality isn’t “normal business accounting”.

At Swift, you get specialist hospitality accountants who understand the real day-to-day of restaurants, pubs, bars, cafés, takeaways, and hotels. We keep your records organised, your tax position planned properly, and your compliance calm and controlled — without jargon and without last-minute panic.
We support hospitality owners across the UK with hospitality accounting services covering everything from bookkeeping and VAT (MTD) to payroll, year-end accounts, tax returns and long-term planning.
We go further, respond faster, and work harder for you. Join hundreds of UK hospitality venues who trust us with their finances — and discover the difference a true accounting partner can make.

Quarterly: VAT (MTD) prepared and submitted with clean reconciliations
Year-end: accounts/tax filed on time — with owner planning and clear next steps
Exclusive Insights, Tax-Saving Strategies, and Support Tailored for Hospitality Owners
Most hospitality accounting problems come from messy records, EPOS not matching bankings, payroll/tips confusion, missed VAT deadlines, and not knowing what you can legitimately claim.
We keep your business on track with a clear routine, tidy records, and proactive check-ins — so you always know where you stand, what’s due next, and what needs fixing before it becomes expensive.
If you’re switching from another accountant (or moving from spreadsheets/DIY software), we’ll handle the handover end-to-end and make sure nothing gets dropped.
Tailored Plans to Protect Your Margins and Strengthen Your Hospitality Business
No generic advice — just a strategy built around your venue, your staffing model, your sales channels, and your goals.
We’ll help you:
– build a simple weekly/monthly routine that actually works in hospitality
– keep EPOS, cash/card takings, bankings and supplier costs aligned
– stay compliant with VAT (MTD) and reduce VAT confusion across sales types
– tighten payroll processes (variable hours, starters/leavers, tips/service charges)
– improve visibility on gross profit, wastage, and key margin drivers
– plan tax efficiently as you grow (structure, timing, and owner strategy)
You’ll have a dedicated hospitality accountant who explains things clearly and keeps you one step ahead — month after month.
We’ll guide you on the cleanest setup for your venue (including tronc approaches where relevant), keep the paperwork organised, and help you follow fair and transparent allocation practices.
Hospitality VAT can be confusing because VAT treatment depends on how items are supplied (for example, catering/eat-in vs takeaway) and what you sell.
We help you keep VAT (MTD) organised, reduce “mixed supply” confusion, and keep invoices and reporting consistent — so you stay compliant and avoid avoidable VAT surprises.
Communication isn’t just about sharing information, it's about making sure you're heard and understood.
