Staff and chair rental getting complicated?
Employed staff, contractors renting chairs, and casual workers all have different tax treatment. We make sure every arrangement is handled correctly.
Tips, cash, and EFTPOS hard to reconcile?
Beauty businesses often take payments across cash, card, and booking platforms. We reconcile every income stream so nothing falls through the cracks.
BAS and super sneaking up on you?
Quarterly BAS and superannuation obligations don't wait. We lodge on time every time so you're never hit with ATO penalties.
You pay based on what your business earns - not a flat premium rate. Bookkeeping starts from just $98/month.
We ensure the tax treatment for chair renters and contracted stylists is handled correctly every time — no grey areas.
Cash, EFTPOS, booking platforms — every payment method reconciled correctly in Xero each month.
Casual and part-time staff, award rates, STP lodgement - we handle it all every pay cycle without fail.
Run your business between clients. We work remotely with salons, clinics and studios across Australia through Xero.
We don't make you wait three days for a reply. If you have a question, we get back to you quickly.
Too many salon and beauty business owners are paying flat-rate accounting fees that have nothing to do with the size of their business. At AffordBooksTax, your fee is based on your annual revenue – so a sole trader barber turning over $80k pays a very different rate to a multi-chair salon turning over $400k.
We provide industry-specific bookkeeping across Melbourne and Australia. Whether you’re a Cafe Owner, consultant, or growing retailer, we keep your books reconciled, GST-coded and BAS-ready, so you stay compliant, cash-flow clear, and in control.
Yes. We work with all types of beauty and personal care businesses — hair salons, barbershops, nail studios, beauty clinics, and spas. The bookkeeping approach is the same regardless of the type of business.
Chair renters are treated as contractors rather than employees, which means they're responsible for their own tax and super. We ensure payments to chair renters are recorded correctly in Xero and assess whether TPAR lodgement is required.
Yes. We reconcile income from booking and payment platforms and map it correctly in Xero so your revenue figures are always accurate.
We process payroll based on the hours and rates you provide each pay cycle, ensuring award rate compliance, STP lodgement, and superannuation calculations are all handled correctly.
BAS lodgement is a separate service but most clients bundle it with bookkeeping. You can mix and match based on what you need - see the pricing table above.
No problem - we offer catch-up bookkeeping to bring everything up to date before moving into the regular monthly routine.
