More time in the chair,
less on the books.
A salon runs on bookings, staff and stock. We look after the numbers behind them, so you know what each week actually made and what is set aside for tax.
If margins feel tight, you're not imagining it.

What gets in the way.
- 01
Payroll and the award
Rosters, penalty rates, apprentices and casual staff make each pay run more complex than it looks.
- 02
Takings that don't reconcile
Card, cash, gift vouchers and booking app payouts arrive in different places and at different times.
- 03
Contractors and chair rental
Getting the arrangement right matters for super, payroll tax and GST.
- 04
Quiet weeks and busy seasons
Cash swings with the calendar, which makes BAS and wage bills harder to plan for.
How we help.
Most salons start with our base compliance services. When you want to look ahead, we add a 13-week cash plan and a budget.

Questions.
Do you work with my booking system?
Most booking and point-of-sale systems used by salons connect to Xero. We set up the connection and reconcile the payouts.
Can you look after payroll for apprentices and casuals?
Yes. We set up pay rates, penalties and leave for each employee and run payroll on your schedule.
I rent chairs to stylists. Does that change anything?
It can affect GST, super and payroll tax. We review the arrangement and explain what it means for you.
What does it cost?
Our base compliance services start from $310 a month plus GST. See what is included on the business page.
