Books that keep up with salons and barbershops.
A salon mixes service income, retail product, tips and a team that might be staff or chair renters. We set up a real accounting system for your salon and run it, so the money side stays clear while you’re behind the chair.
Your money, the way it actually moves
Services and product sales come in through the day; some stylists are employees and some rent a chair; tips need splitting; and product inventory has its own cost. Keeping those straight is the difference between guessing and knowing — we set it up so you know.
What we set up for you
- 01Service and retail sales, with HST
- 02Chair-rental income and expenses tracked separately
- 03Tips split by your rule; staff payroll or contractor payments
- 04Product inventory and cost of goods; a weekly read on the numbers
Questions
Can you handle chair renters and employees together?
Yes — rental income and employee payroll are set up as the different things they are, so your books (and your accountant) stay clear on who’s who.
Do you track product sales separately from services?
Yes, so you can see how much of your income is service versus retail, and what the product actually costs you.
