75% of beauty pros don’t make it to year 2… But that’s not gonna be you!

Finally, the blueprint to filing your own beauty biz taxes WITHOUT the stress, confusion, and overwhelm. And you don’t even need an accounting degree!

Get Started Now!

Congrats, girl! You did it! 💁‍♀️🎉

You finally graduated beauty school and signed on at a salon.  The sleepless nights, the hours studying, the painfully cramped hands… It paid off. 🙆‍♀️

Now you get to throw yourself into perfecting your craft, building your clientele, connecting with people, choosing your hours, saving for vacation… Making it all work for you! 

But now it’s tax season. And you’re not a regular employee anymore. So how does that work for you? 🧾❌

When you pull up your documents, you’re overwhelmed by the numbers. And you don’t even know where to start on the IRS’s website.

Do you hire someone? It’s just not in the budget. Do you pay for software? You coooould, but that comes with it’s own navigation nightmares - and doesn’t tell you what to deduct.

If you do it on your own… You could pay too much in taxes by not deducting right. But if you deduct incorrectly, you could get that scary letter from the IRS telling you that you owe fees and penalties.

And that’s all before realizing how little you might have actually profited. Because you were doing some tough stuff!

It’s not easy to track expenses ANND build a clientele ANND purchase all the equipment you need ANND learn how to navigate this world.

Okay, don’t panic. Stay with me. I promise it’s gonna be okay.

You did the hard stuff already, girl!

I know you’re going to want to give into the frantic Googling urge, but let me tell ya, that’s a 12 hour time-waste trap that’ll give you heaps of information (some right, some outdated) and conspiracy theories with no solid way to actually apply any of that to your situation correctly.

(You can try it if you want, but 0/10 CPAs would recommend.)

So let’s tell the little voice in your head that is saying, “Taxes are too big and scary for me to do them,” to go far away because we’re gonna do your taxes.

And we’re going to do them right.

If you survived beauty school, you can survive this.

I Want To Do My Taxes - Show Me How!

Let me introduce you to…

A course built by a beauty school grad turned CPA that will give you all the information you need to correctly, affordably file your taxes in under 2 hours.

‘Cause you can do it!

So get yourself a nice cup of coffee, cozy up with a blanket, and dive into the most powerful tool you can have to get your business started right!

 

You’re gonna learn…
  • What documents you need to complete your return with confidence.
  • How to properly fill out a Schedule C, so you can kick it in Mexico, enjoy your marg, and know that it’s all done right.
  • How home office deduction works and how to qualify for one (have you thought of this one?).
  • About vehicle expenses, including how to make the most of your mileage deduction.
  • How to handle tips, cash, and Venmo payments so you know you’re getting it all right.
  • How to deduct up to $2,500 in equipment (and what equipment counts towards a deduction).
  • How to debunk common tax return myths that circulate in the industry because we do not have time for that!
  • How to file for an extension if you can’t file by April 15 (‘cause life happens - I get it).
  • How to deduct self-employed health insurance.
  • What start-up cost rules are so you can get the most out of your deductions.

But most importantly, you’re going to learn how to empower yourself in your business to make sound financial decisions.

And absolutely rock it.

You learned a lot - so much it might have felt like your brain was melting out of your ears at times. But they didn’t teach you about the realities of actually owning and running your business.

That’s why 75% of beauty pros don’t make it through their second year of business.

Ugh. My heart always hurts when I think about that stat.

But what can we do about it now? We can make sure YOU are not part of that statistic by giving you the skills and confidence you need to run your business.

‘Cause you are all over it.

You are ready for this.

I know, I know, we’ve heard it all our lives:

“Taxes are impossible! We don’t learn about them in school so we’re set up to fail.”

“Taxes are so complicated.”

“Just hire someone. It’s impossible to do them.”

“Ugh, I don’t even try to understand taxes.”

But we are NOT about letting those negative thoughts impact how you feel about yourself and your intelligence and competency when it comes to running your business today.

You can hit your goals.

You can confidently file your taxes.

You can empower yourself in your business.

You can understand taxes.

You can learn and grow and beat the stats.

I Am Ready To Take Control Of My Business’s Taxes!
How many times a day have you thought…
  • I spent so much money on school, but I feel like I’m making nothing now.
  • I want my taxes to be done right, but I can’t afford to hire a CPA.
  • I want to have a 6-figure income, but I honestly don’t know how much I’m really making.
  • I want to go on vacation next year, but I’m not even sure if I can afford to save.
  • I want to know how my finances work, but finding clients feels a lot more important right now.
  • I’ve tried to understand taxes, but all the information I’ve Googled feels too complex and not right for my situation.
  • I’m willing to try to do my own taxes, but I think I don’t have the time and I’ll do something wrong.
  • I want to be a business owner, but I don’t feel like beauty school got me ready for that.
  • I want financial freedom, but building a business is a lot rougher than I thought it would be.
  • Honestly, it’s easier to ignore my taxes and pretend they’ll go away than deal with them.

So who’s taking you on this ride?

I’m Michelle! Nice to meet you! I’ve always loved making things beautiful. That’s why I went to beauty school. Yup, I’m a beauty school grad, too. And it doesn’t feel like all that long ago that I wanted to open up my own salon, but quickly back tracked when I realized how much it takes to run a successful beauty biz. Armed with my desire to open a salon someday, I hit the pavement to learn everything I could about finances. And… I actually kind of enjoyed it. I know, I know. I was as shocked as you are. But just like I was making people beautiful… I really enjoyed making the business side beautiful. I decided to go back to school. But this time, to make books beautiful for a living. So I got my CPA. But I never forgot my beauty roots. And the scary stat that 75% of beauty pros don’t make it to their second year of business. I started my CPA firm dedicated to helping beauty pros navigate taxes and bookkeeping to do my part in lowering that percentage. Because everyone should get to do what they love. And now I’m here talking to you!
