Why Spa and Salon Owners Need Startup , Bookkeeping, and Tax Services

As a small business owner specializing in salons, spas or med spas, your focus is on delivering exceptional client experiences, from flawless haircuts to rejuvenating treatments. However, launching and managing your business requires handling administrative tasks like legal setup, financial tracking, and taxes, which can distract from your craft. With decades of experience in project management and business operations, we offer tailored startup services, bookkeeping, and tax planning to help salon owners like you succeed. Our affordable starter plans—incorporation, basic bookkeeping, bank account, and payroll setup—along with our financial services, keeps your salon or spa organized, compliant, and profitable.

Startup Services: Laying the Foundation for Your Salon

Salon and spa owners juggle client bookings, staff schedules, and inventory, making a streamlined business structure essential. Our startup services are designed for your industry:

• Incorporation: We guide you through forming the right business structure for your needs to protect personal assets, vital for salons and spas with high-value equipment or liability risks from treatments like chemical peels or injectables.
• Basic bookkeeping: Track revenue from services, retail product sales, and tips with cloud-based tools tailored for your needs, ensuring you stay on top of fluctuating income.
• Bank Account Setup: Separate client payments and business expenses with a dedicated account, simplifying financial management for appointments and inventory purchases.
• Payroll Setup: Manage wages for stylists, nail technicians, or estheticians, including tip reporting, with a compliant, easy-to-use payroll system.

Bookkeeping: Keep Your Salon’s Finances Flawless

Salons, spas and medical spas face unique financial challenges, from tracking retail product sales to managing variable tips and service fees. Our bookkeeping services ensure clarity:

• Monitor Revenue Streams: Track income from haircuts, nail services, spa treatments, and product sales, ensuring accurate records for each revenue source.
• Manage Expenses: Categorize costs like salon supplies (e.g., hair dye, nail polish, or medical-grade skincare), rent, and software for booking systems, critical for busy salons.
• Real-Time Insights: Access financial data anytime to optimize pricing, manage inventory, or plan promotions, helping you boost profitability.

Tax Planning and Preparation: Maximize Salon-Specific Savings

Tax season can be complex for salon and spa owners, with opportunities for deductions often overlooked. Our tax services help you save:

• Leverage Deductions: Claim write-offs for salon equipment (e.g., styling chairs, UV lamps), professional training, and marketing expenses, like a medical spa owner we helped save $6,500 by deducting new laser equipment costs.
• Handle Tip Income: Ensure accurate reporting of employee tips, a common audit trigger, while optimizing self-employment tax strategies.
• Stay Compliant: Our integration with basic bookkeeping provides precise records for IRS filings, tailored to the cash-basis accounting common in salons.

Why Salon Owners Benefit

• Save Time: Focus on client satisfaction and creative services, not paperwork. A hair salon owner we worked with saved 8 hours a month using our basic bookkeeping and payroll setup.
• Stay Compliant: Meet IRS and industry regulations, crucial for medical spas handling treatments with strict oversight.
• Grow Your Business: Reinvest tax savings into new services, like adding a nail bar or expanding your med spa’s offerings, to attract more clients.
