Who we help · Salons & Beauty

Bookkeeping for Twin Cities salons and beauty pros.

Booth-rent stylists, commission splits, retail product on the side — your numbers have a lot of moving parts that the average bookkeeper has never seen.

Common things we see

What your books actually need.

Booth rent vs. commission vs. employee.

Some stylists rent your chair, some work on commission, some are W-2 employees — and each one shows up differently on the books and the tax return. We classify it cleanly so 1099 season isn't a mess.

Retail margin separate from service revenue.

Product on the back bar isn't the same business as service revenue — different margin, different sales tax, different inventory. We split them so you can see what each side actually contributes.

Tips, gratuities, and the register reality.

Some tips are on the card, some are cash, some go directly to the stylist. We work with how your salon actually runs — not how an accountant thinks it should run.

Which package fits

Most salons & beauty owners we work with start with Books + Tax.

Salons run on more 1099 contractors than most businesses and more product/service mix than a typical retail shop. Books + Tax keeps it from getting tangled at year-end — same person on bookkeeping and the return.

Books + Tax

Full-year bookkeeping plus annual tax filing — one person, one bill.
