Bookkeeping for Salons, Spas & Fitness Studios in Arizona

Salons, barbershops, day spas, gyms and boutique fitness studios run on appointments, memberships and staff. Money comes in through booking apps and card readers, staff are paid by commission or rent a chair, and retail products add another layer.

We keep these books accurate every month and show you the numbers that drive the business, from service revenue per provider to the margin on retail products.

What we handle for salons, spas and fitness studios

• Booking and payment app payouts (such as Square, Vagaro, GlossGenius or Mindbody) recorded at gross with fees broken out
• Commission-based staff paid through payroll, and booth or suite rent recorded as income
• Tips recorded correctly through payroll
• Retail product purchases and sales tracked separately from services
• Membership and package revenue recorded when it's earned
• Equipment and buildout costs tracked for depreciation

Arizona tax notes

Personal services such as haircuts, massage and training generally aren't subject to Arizona transaction privilege tax, but retail product sales are. We separate product sales from service revenue so you only pay TPT on the taxable part.

Whether a stylist or trainer is an employee or an independent contractor has real tax consequences. We set up your books to match how each person is actually paid and flag anything that looks inconsistent.

More than bookkeeping: insight you can use

We're more than a bookkeeper who keeps your books current. Every month we look at your numbers and tell you what they mean: where margins are slipping, which costs are creeping up, and practical ideas to make and save more money. Think of us as a light fractional CFO, at a bookkeeping price.

For salons, spas and fitness studios, that usually means:

• Revenue per provider and per chair or room
• Retail margin and slow-moving product
• Membership churn and recurring revenue trends
• Staff cost as a percentage of service revenue

What it costs

Monthly bookkeeping starts at $250 per month. Most of our clients pay around $500 per month, depending on how many accounts we reconcile and how many transactions you have. Book a quick call and we'll give you an exact quote.

Frequently asked questions

Do you work with booking apps like Vagaro or Mindbody?

Yes. We reconcile their payout reports to your deposits so services, products, tips and fees are each recorded correctly.

I have booth renters. How is that handled?

Booth or suite rent is recorded as rental income, separate from service revenue, and we keep the paperwork clean for year-end.

Do I owe sales tax on services?

Most personal services aren't subject to Arizona TPT, but retail product sales are. We keep them separate so your filings are accurate.
