Accountants for Hair Salons
We help hair and beauty salon owners across Cardiff and South Wales stay on top of their accounts, VAT and payroll so you can focus on running your business. With nearly ten years of experience and a track record working with salons just like yours, we make compliance straightforward and give you clear advice you can actually use.
Everything we cover for salons
From day-to-day bookkeeping to year-end accounts, we handle the full range of financial services hair and beauty businesses need to stay compliant and profitable.
Bookkeeping and VAT returns
We track your takings, expenses and supplier payments, then file your VAT returns on time so you never miss a deadline.
Payroll for stylists and therapists
We run your payroll, handle PAYE, auto-enrolment pensions and RTI submissions so your team gets paid accurately every month.
Year-end accounts and tax planning
We prepare your annual accounts, file with Companies House and HMRC, and show you how to keep more of what you earn.
Quarterly profit reviews
Regular check-ins to review your numbers, spot trends and help you make confident decisions about pricing, staffing and growth.
How we support Cardiff hair salons with their accounts
Running a salon means juggling appointments, stock orders, staff rotas and everything else that keeps the doors open. The last thing you need is sleepless nights about VAT deadlines or whether you have paid your team correctly. We work with hairdressers, barbers and beauty businesses across Cardiff and South Wales to take that weight off your shoulders. Whether you are a sole trader renting a chair or running a busy salon with a full team, we will keep your books accurate, your returns filed on time and your tax bill as low as the law allows.
Our process starts with a free consultation where we talk through how your salon works: how you take payments, whether you are registered for VAT, how many people you employ and what software you currently use. From there we set up a fixed monthly fee that covers everything you need, from tracking your daily takings in Xero or Quickbooks to running payroll and filing your annual accounts. You will have a direct line to your accountant, and we will check in every quarter to review your profit, flag any issues early and help you plan ahead.
We handle the deadlines so you can focus on your clients.
More information
Most salon owners we meet have the same concerns. You worry about missing a VAT return or getting your payroll wrong. You are not sure if you are claiming all the expenses you are entitled to, or whether you should be a limited company instead of self-employed. You want to understand your numbers without wading through spreadsheets. We have seen it all before, and we will walk you through it in plain English. No jargon, no surprises, no bills that arrive out of nowhere.
We know the Cardiff salon scene well. We have worked with businesses in Pontcanna, Roath, Canton and right across the city, as well as salons in the valleys and along the coast. That local knowledge means we understand the seasonal patterns you face, the supplier relationships that matter and the kind of growth challenges that come up when you are thinking about taking on another stylist or opening a second location. If HMRC ever comes knocking, we will be right there with you.
What you get every month
- Bookkeeping: all your income and expenses recorded and reconciled
- VAT returns: submitted on time, every time
- Payroll: wages calculated, payslips sent, PAYE and pension contributions handled
- Software support: we will set you up on Xero, Quickbooks or FreeAgent and show you how to use it
- Unlimited email and phone support: ask us anything, whenever you need to
At year-end we prepare your accounts, file everything with HMRC and Companies House if you are limited, and sit down with you to talk through your tax position. We will look at dividends versus salary if you are a director, check you are claiming all your allowable expenses and make sure you are not paying a penny more than you have to. Then we start the cycle again, keeping everything ticking over so you never fall behind.
Fixed fees, no surprises, and a team that actually answers the phone.
Whether you have been trading for twenty years or you have just opened your first chair, we are here to make your accounts less stressful and more useful. The numbers should help you run a better business, not just satisfy HMRC. Let's make that happen.
