Step Back Without Losing Profit: Your Salon Can Run Without You and Stay Profitable.

Done-for-you bookkeeping + Profit First strategy for salon owners who are making money but still doing it all themselves. 

Make your salon’s money work like it should. Each week I show salon owners how to frontload payroll, cover backbar + retail, and still keep profit in the bank using Profit First.

If you’ve ever asked yourself, “Can I step back from the salon and still stay profitable?” 

The answer is a resounding YES.

You didn’t build your business just to stay stuck behind the chair forever. You built it to give you freedom.

And yes, that includes taking Fridays off. Taking a vacation without checking your phone. And eventually stepping away without your income disappearing with you.

You don’t need to start from scratch.

Most of our clients come to us after they’ve tried to figure it out themselves. They’ve read Profit First.

They’ve downloaded the spreadsheets.

But at some point, they hit a wall and realize they don’t want to do this alone anymore.

That’s where we come in.

What It’s Like to Work With Your Profitable Salon CFO

You’ll be stepping into the Profitable Salon Method™. 

My signature CFO service that combines done-for-you bookkeeping with strategic financial coaching designed specifically for salon owners.

You don’t need another spreadsheet. You need support.
Support that tells you what’s working. What needs to change. And where your money should be going.

Here’s how we help salon owners like you finally make more money without doing it all yourself:

✅ You get accurate books without chasing them down.
No more wondering where your numbers are or waiting until tax time to find out how you did.

✅ You get real-time financial advice so you know exactly what you can and can’t afford.
Each month, I step in as Your Profitable Salon CFO to help you make confident, intentional decisions without the guesswork.

✅ You get a system that ensures you're paid not just your team and your bills.
Using Profit First, we make sure your business pays you consistently and without the hustle.

✅ You get a partner who knows salons and supports your vision to step back.
Whether you want to finally stop doing it all or position your salon for sale, we help you build a business that pays you and runs without you.

Our process is fully systemized, so you always know what to expect.
Once we learn your file your tax deadlines, payroll rhythm, and financial quirks we create a consistent reporting cycle that keeps your business on track. No chasing. No chaos.

You'll also get daily access to our team via email and support that fits your communication style with no surprise charges for asking questions.

Bookkeeping That’s More Than Just Numbers

Most bookkeepers tell you what happened last month and what you owe in taxes.

Useful, but reactive.

We help you decide what happens next.

You get clarity, confidence, and cash flow that supports the life you actually want, and....

  • You don’t just get clean books (though of course you do).
  • You get the mental space back because you're no longer the one chasing down numbers, guessing, or reacting.
  • You get reports you can actually understand and real support to help you make sense of them.
  • You get a strategic partner who knows the salon world and guides you through decisions you shouldn’t have to make alone.

Because you’ve already built something great. Now it’s time to make it work for you.

Is This Right for You?

You're a salon owner who's already built something successful, but you're still doing way to much. 

  • You’re behind the chair, managing the team, reviewing the books and still wondering why the numbers don’t make sense.
  • You’re making money, but your profit doesn’t match your effort. And paying yourself? That’s hit-or-miss at best.
  • You’ve read the Profit First book but implementing it alone felt overwhelming.
  • You want someone who understands salons and how to make the money work.
  • You’re tired of chaos-mode money management.
  • You’re ready to make more without doing it all yourself.
    Then yes, this is for you.

Kara Firman * Guide Hair Salon

Janet and her team have become CFOs that make sure that every cent is designated…They bring guidance and support, not to mention taking the mental load from my brain.

To say that I am grateful for Janet and her team would be an understatement.  I was at a place where I had done a lot of work educating myself to gain a strong understanding of finances in my own business, but it is not where I wanted to spend my time as a business owner.  I love the concept of Profit First, and had started and stopped using the system a couple of times- mainly because keeping up with it used up a lot of executive function, which I struggle with, as many entrepreneurs with ADHD do.  The first time I met Janet- she was speaking the language I knew, the systems I understood, and I felt how passionate she was. I immediately knew this was the person I needed to bring on to take my businesses to the next level.  Janet and her team have become CFOs that make sure that every cent is designated, there are plans and systems in place for debt payment and future planning. They bring guidance and support, not to mention taking the mental load from my brain so that I can utilize the skills that I enjoy in my businesses.
