Built for tattoo artists

Nanoswift is a digital‑first accounting firm specialising in creative and cash‑based businesses, with a strong focus on tattoo artists and studios. We operate as a small team, combining accounting expertise with dedicated admin support.

We understand how the tattoo industry actually works — chair rent, studio splits, cash jobs, tips, equipment costs and irregular income — so nothing is overcomplicated or missed.

Modern, certified & fully digital

We’re FreeAgent certified and work 100% digitally. No paperwork, no posting receipts, no unnecessary meetings.

You’ll get modern software, clear reporting and plain‑English advice, with support available whenever you need it.

Adam Griffiths

Founder & Accountant

I'm the one handling the numbers, compliance, and tax strategy. With years of experience in digital-first accounting for creative and cash-based businesses, I set up Nanoswift specifically because I saw how much tattoo artists were struggling with paperwork that didn't fit their world. I make sure everything stays HMRC-compliant while spotting real opportunities to keep more of what you earn.

Get in touch directly via the Calendly link — I'm usually the one on the calls.

I do some cash jobs — is that a problem?

No. Cash income is very common in the tattoo industry. We’ll show you the correct, compliant way to record it so you stay on the right side of HMRC without overcomplicating things.

Do I need to already use FreeAgent?

No. If you’re already using FreeAgent, great. If not, We’ll help you get set up properly and show you exactly what you need to do (it’s very simple).

Is this suitable for studio owners as well?

Yes. We work with both independent artists and studio owners. If your setup is more complex, we’ll discuss this on the call and make sure the pricing reflects it fairly.

Will you really handle all my bookkeeping needs?

Yes! All we ask you to do is upload receipts using the Freeagent app, and we can handle the rest.

Is there a minimum contract?

No long-term contracts. The service runs monthly and you can cancel anytime with reasonable notice.
