Salon Bookkeeping · $200 / month
Your books, clear and
current every month
When your financial records are tidy and up to date, you spend less time wondering and more time doing what you actually opened your studio for.
What you'll have
Bookkeeping that keeps up with you — not the other way around
Each month you'll receive a clear, readable picture of where your money came from and where it went. Service income, retail sales, product costs, and everyday outgoings — all separated out and kept current without you having to think about it.
Records you can actually read
No dense spreadsheets or confusing column headers. Plain language, logically laid out.
Always current, never behind
Monthly updates mean your records reflect reality — not a three-month-old version of it.
Service and retail, both tracked
Most tools don't handle the mix well. We keep service income and product sales clearly separated and accounted for.
What you might recognise
When the books get left for later, later never quite comes
Running a salon or spa keeps you present — clients, appointments, team, products. The financial side tends to get pushed aside until it can't be anymore: an overdue tax return, a confusing bank statement, a question you can't answer without digging.
It's not a discipline problem. It's a time and attention problem. Most studio owners are doing four jobs at once, and bookkeeping is the one that's easiest to defer — until it becomes genuinely stressful.
Receipts and invoices pile up without a home
Service income and retail sales get mixed together or lost
End-of-year catch-up feels heavy and disorganised
You're never quite sure what the studio actually earned
Generic accounting tools weren't built for how a studio works
How we approach this
Bookkeeping that's been shaped around salon and spa income
Salon bookkeeping isn't quite the same as bookkeeping for a shop or a consultancy. You have appointment-based service income, retail product sales with their own cost structures, tips, and sometimes a rental or commission arrangement alongside employed staff. We track all of it in a way that makes sense for how your business actually runs.
Service income, accounted for clearly
Appointment revenue tracked separately from other income sources — so you always know what the treatment side of your business is producing.
Retail sales and product costs, both sides recorded
What you sold, what you paid for it, and what that leaves behind — noted each month without fuss.
Costs categorised the way you recognise them
Supplies, rent, equipment, professional subscriptions — sorted into categories that reflect how a wellness business spends money.
Monthly delivery without prompting
We don't wait to be chased. Updated records arrive each month, covering the period just passed.
What working together looks like
A steady rhythm, not a quarterly scramble
We begin with a short onboarding call
We learn how your studio is structured, what software or point-of-sale you use, and what your records look like right now. No preparation needed from your side.
We set up a clean, consistent format for your books
Categories, income streams, and cost groups are agreed on together so the records make sense to you when you receive them.
Each month, your records arrive updated
We process the month's transactions, reconcile accounts, and deliver a clear summary. If anything looks unusual or needs your attention, we'll flag it plainly.
You stay informed without being pulled in
A brief message accompanies each delivery. You can review at your own pace, ask questions, or simply file it knowing your records are current.

What's practical about a monthly arrangement
A fixed monthly fee means your bookkeeping is always current — not saved up for a lump sum at the end of the year. It also means you know exactly what you're spending on your accounts, every month, without surprises.
Can be paired with other services
Bookkeeping works well alongside our Staff, Commission & Tips Reporting, and the two together give you a fuller picture of your studio's financial health. You can start with one and add as you need to.
We adapt to your tools
Whether you use a booking platform, a point-of-sale system, or just bank statements and a spreadsheet — we work with what you have. No required software switch.
How we work
A consistent process that produces consistent results
Good bookkeeping isn't complicated — it's consistent. The same categorisation applied every month, the same reconciliation process, the same format in your hands by the same point in the calendar. Over time, that consistency builds a record you can actually use.
Monthly
Regular cycle
Records updated each calendar month, covering transactions from the period just closed.
Clear
Plain format
Delivered in a format you agreed on at the start — structured for your kind of business, readable without training.
Sector-fit
Built for wellness
We understand service-retail income, seasonal fluctuation, and how a studio's costs differ from a standard small business.
Our commitment
We'd rather take the time to get it right than move quickly and leave you uncertain
If something in your records isn't clear to you, we'll explain it until it is. If we've categorised something in a way that doesn't reflect how your studio thinks about it, we'll adjust the approach. The books should feel like yours — not like something an accountant did to you.
We work with a small number of studios so that each one gets proper attention. When you reach out, you speak with the person who's actually working on your accounts.
No long-term lock-in to begin
We can begin with a trial period so you can see whether the service and the format work for you before committing to an ongoing arrangement.
An initial conversation costs nothing
We're happy to talk through your situation and what good bookkeeping might look like for your studio — with no obligation to go further.
How to begin
Three steps from here to settled books
Send us a message
Just your name and email to start. Tell us a little about your studio if you'd like, or leave it for the conversation.
We have a short call
We ask a few questions, understand your setup, and suggest whether bookkeeping alone or a wider scope makes sense for where you are now.
We get started
Onboarding is light. We handle the setup and let you know when your first set of records is ready.
