Booth, retail, tips, and payroll that finally add up. QuickBooks, QuickBooks, fixed fee. Free assessment.
Dallas is a fast, deal-driven market where owners grow first and reconcile the books later — until a lender, a partner, or tax season forces the reckoning. For salons, spas and wellness studios across Dallas County — from Uptown and the Design District to Deep Ellum and Bishop Arts — that shows up as renters, commission stylists, and employees all get paid differently — and the books treat them all the same and product sales and services land in one bucket, hiding which side of the business actually carries you
Steven Palmieri works remotely with Dallas owners in a market defined by a headquarters-dense economy of finance, technology, and professional services. We separate service, retail, and tips, reconcile your booking platform payouts, and make contractor payments clean for 1099 season. You get a documented before/after trail your CPA can verify — no offshore rush job, no judgment about how far behind the books have slipped.
You're not bad at business. The books just stopped telling the truth about the chair and the calendar.
Renter revenue, product sales, and payroll blur — tax and cash both suffer.
Processor dumps don’t equal the day sheet, so you’re always reconciling ghosts.
Product walks out, cash comes in, and the books never agree.
Two minutes. No document dump. Just the truth about how behind it feels.
We separate booth, service, retail, and tips the way a salon actually runs.
Backlog cleared. Accounts reconciled. A before/after report you — and your CPA — can act on.
Beauty & wellness cleanup that matches the chair, not a factory chart of accounts.
Every account reconciled and every anomaly documented before we change a thing.
The backlog cleared with beauty & wellness business-correct categories — not a generic chart of accounts.
A before/after summary and a simple monthly rhythm so it stays clean after we leave.
If our assessment can’t show you exactly what’s wrong and what it costs to fix, the assessment costs you nothing — no obligation either way.
