Beauty & Personal Care

You were great at the craft. Then you opened your own place. Nobody mentioned you'd also become an accountant.

You Didn't Plan to Be a Business Owner

You got into this because you were good at it. Clients followed you. You built a reputation. Eventually it made sense to open your own place.

What nobody mentioned: now you’re responsible for payroll taxes, booth renter agreements, tip reporting, quarterly estimates, and a pile of receipts that keeps growing. You went to cosmetology school, not business school.

We handle the numbers so you can stay focused on clients. That’s the deal.

Still Behind the Chair

Most salon and spa owners aren’t sitting in a back office managing the business. They’re still doing the work. Taking clients, building relationships, keeping the lights on with their own hands.

That means bookkeeping happens at 10pm. Or it doesn’t happen at all. Receipts pile up. The QuickBooks login gets forgotten. Tax season becomes a scramble. Sound familiar?

Who We Work With

Hair salons, barber shops, nail salons, day spas, massage therapists, estheticians, tattoo studios, med spas, and independent beauty professionals.

Where You Are

Running a real business but still doing most of the client work yourself. Too busy for bookkeeping but too established to keep ignoring it.

The Stuff That Trips You Up

Beauty businesses have quirks that general bookkeepers don’t always understand. Booth rental vs employment. Tip reporting. Product sales mixed with services. Cash everywhere. It’s not complicated once you know it, but most people don’t.

Booth Renters vs Employees

The IRS cares a lot about this distinction. We make sure your people are classified correctly and the paperwork backs it up.

Tips

Cash tips, card tips, tip pools. There are reporting requirements and most shops are doing something slightly wrong. We clean it up.

Product Sales

Retail is a different margin than services. We track them separately so you know what’s actually making money.

Cash Transactions

Still a lot of cash in this industry. We help you track it properly so nothing falls through the cracks and your books match reality.

Get Your Evenings Back

You didn’t open a salon to spend your nights staring at spreadsheets. You opened it to build something of your own, do great work, and maybe finally set your own schedule.

Let us take the books off your plate. Monthly closes, clean financials, payroll if you need it. You focus on clients. We’ll make sure the business side doesn’t fall apart.

Monthly Bookkeeping

Books closed every month. No more scrambling at tax time or guessing what you actually made.

Payroll Support

If you have employees, we handle the payroll, tax deposits, and filings. One less thing to worry about.
