Why SwenBooks
Built around the decisions small company directors actually face.
Most accounting apps give you forms. SwenBooks is being shaped to explain the workflow: paid expense or purchase bill, director loan or company cost, VAT-ready records or gross cost if you are not VAT registered.
Guided bookkeeping
Less accounting guesswork
Plain-English prompts help users choose the right place for paid purchases, supplier invoices and reimbursements.
Director-first
DLA and S455 visibility
Director loan movements and possible S455 exposure are treated as core workflows, not hidden accountant-only details.
UK compliance
Companies House and HMRC dates
Key filing dates sit beside your numbers so record keeping and compliance are reviewed together.
Micro-business fit
Works before VAT registration
Designed to handle gross-cost records for companies that are not VAT registered, while keeping a path to VAT-ready digital records.
What it covers
The everyday finance work in one focused workspace.
Core bookkeeping, banking and compliance tasks for a UK limited company, without turning the product into a heavyweight accounting suite.
Sales
Invoices and receivables
Create sales invoices, track unpaid balances and keep customer records close to the numbers.
Purchases
Bills and expenses
Record supplier bills, business expenses and supporting notes without losing the audit trail.
Banking
Bank reconciliation
Categorise imported transactions, match payments and keep cash position visible.
VAT
MTD-ready records
Maintain digital VAT records and review figures before filing or sharing with your accountant.
Directors
Director loan tracking
Track DLA movements and surface possible S455 exposure before it becomes a surprise.
Compliance
Key filing deadlines
Keep Companies House and HMRC dates visible alongside the finance tasks they affect.
Workflow
Designed for the monthly routine, not just data entry.
The goal is simple: know what is unpaid, what is paid, what needs reconciling, and what deadlines are coming next.
Record sales and costs
Separate paid expenses from supplier bills so your records match real cash and payables.
Reconcile the bank
Match payments, categorise transactions and close gaps.
Review tax-ready records
Check VAT readiness, gross costs, cash, payables and receivables before sharing or filing.
Stay ahead of deadlines
Monitor Companies House dates, HMRC dates, DLA balances and compliance tasks.
