Accounting Services for the Hair and Beauty Industry

Specialist Accountants for Hair, Beauty & Wellness Businesses

At Chandler & Partners, we understand that the hair and beauty industry thrives on creativity, passion, and precision - just like great accounting.

Whether you run a bustling hair salon, a boutique beauty studio, a luxury spa, or work as a self-employed beautician, managing your finances can often feel overwhelming. That’s where we come in.

As expert accountants in Worcester, we specialise in providing bespoke accounting solutions tailored to the unique needs of hair and beauty businesses. From managing payroll for stylists to maximising tax efficiency and ensuring compliance with HMRC regulations, our goal is simple: to give you peace of mind and help your business grow.

Why Financial Management Matters in the Hair and Beauty Sector

Running a successful salon or beauty business requires more than just delivering fantastic treatments. It's essential to maintain healthy cash flow, understand your profit margins, and comply with changing tax laws like Making Tax Digital (MTD). With slim margins and fluctuating demand, especially in seasonal peaks, staying on top of your finances can mean the difference between thriving and merely surviving.

Bookkeeping Services Designed for Salon Owners

Accurate bookkeeping is at the core of every successful business. We offer streamlined, cloud-based bookkeeping solutions that track your income, expenses, and supplier payments with precision. Whether you're managing appointment-based income, retail product sales, or chair rentals, our team ensures every transaction is recorded and reconciled.

Our solutions help you:

  • Understand your real-time cash flow
  • Identify cost-saving opportunities
  • Stay fully compliant with HMRC

Payroll Services for Hair and Beauty Businesses

From full-time stylists to part-time beauty therapists and self-employed chair renters, payroll in the beauty industry can be complex. Chandler & Partners handles payroll processing with care and accuracy, ensuring your team is paid correctly and on time, every time.

We manage:

  • PAYE submissions and deductions
  • Auto-enrolment pensions
  • Holiday and statutory pay

Tax Planning That Puts More Back Into Your Business

Compliance and Support with Industry Regulations

As the hair and beauty industry becomes more regulated, it's crucial to stay compliant - not just with tax rules, but also with employment law, business insurance, and health and safety standards.

We’ll help you stay ahead of:

  • VAT thresholds and registration
  • Employment classification (freelancers vs employees)
  • Capital allowance claims on salon equipment
  • Annual financial reporting obligations

Tailored Advice for Freelancers and Self-Employed Beauticians
