A simple, predictable process
From kickoff to your first clean close, here is exactly what happens.
Map services and pay
We list your services and how artists are paid.
Set up payout tracking
Payout reports get matched so income lines up with the bank.
Reconcile each month
Payouts, supplier invoices, artist pay and rent are reconciled against the bank statement each month.
Deliver monthly statements
Monthly statements arrive ready for your CPA with an open-items list.
Illustrative example
A full-set appointment is prepaid through the booking app. The payout arrives minus the fee, the adhesive and trays used are part of the month's supply cost, and the artist's commission on the service is tagged to it. This is an illustration of the method, not a customer case or a guarantee.
Lash and Brow Studios bookkeeping — your questions
Do you work with booth renters?
Yes. Booth rent is recorded as rental income, separate from service income and payroll.
How do tips show up in the books?
Tips are tracked per payout and matched to what artists are actually paid.
What do you need each month to keep lash studio books?
Booking and payout reports, payroll or contractor records, supplier invoices and access to your bank feeds.
Can you track product sales separately?
Yes. Aftercare and product sales are their own income line.
Do you give tax advice? (lash and brow studios)
No. We keep the books and hand them to your CPA.
Can you handle membership packages?
Yes. Prepaid memberships are tracked as customer money until the visits are delivered.
Can you show the cost of supplies per artist?
Where purchases are recorded by artist, yes. Shared supplies are split on a rule we agree with you.
How do you handle booth renters?
Rent is tracked by renter and kept apart from employee pay.
Can you show income by service type?
Yes. Lashes, brows and other services can each be their own line when your booking app reports them apart.
