Accountant in Swansea
Tax & Accounting for Swansea Businesses
Swansea SA1-SA8 is Wales's second city, on a spectacular bay, with a growing technology, digital, marine and life-sciences economy, two university campuses and the SA1 waterfront development, a city centre with retail, and a large student population. The city has a substantial professional, contractor, self-employed and small-business community, a significant student-let and buy-to-let landlord market, and a developing tech cluster.
That gives Swansea a varied accounting profile. The tech, digital, marine and university-spinout firms need full company accounting and often R&D claims and SEIS/EIS advice. Contractors and the self-employed need Ltd company structures with IR35 assessment. The city-centre and waterfront businesses need retail and hospitality bookkeeping. Student-let landlords need HMO-aware advice. And the landlord market needs Section 24 planning. We work with Swansea clients entirely online, with fixed monthly fees and the same depth of attention as a local firm.
💡 As an HMRC-registered agent we deal directly with HMRC on your behalf, so you never have to spend hours on hold or navigate their website yourself.
Real Client Story
How we claimed £14,400 in R&D tax credits for a Swansea tech firm
Client R co-founded a software and data company in Swansea's growing tech cluster, set up as a Ltd company developing original technology. They were carrying out genuine technical development resolving real software challenges, but had never claimed R&D tax credits or sought investment-readiness advice.
We assessed the development against the R&D definition, the company was resolving genuine technical uncertainty in its software, which qualified. We identified the qualifying costs (developer salaries, software, a proportion of overheads), wrote the technical narrative, submitted the claim under the merged R&D scheme, and obtained SEIS/EIS advance assurance to support their funding round.
Total outcome: £14,400 of R&D tax relief claimed, plus SEIS/EIS advance assurance secured to make the company investment-ready, giving the founders both immediate cash benefit and a stronger funding position.
