Who We Help

Accountants for Hairdressers & Beauty Businesses

Running a hair or beauty business is hands-on, fast-paced, and people-focused. Behind the scenes, there’s a lot to stay on top of – from managing income and expenses to understanding VAT and making sure everything is reported correctly.

At Mollan & Co, we support hairdressers, salon owners, and beauty professionals with clear, practical accounting that fits around how you actually work.

Why Hairdressers and Beauty Businesses Need Specialist Accountants

No two salons or beauty businesses are set up in the same way. You might be:

  • Running your own salon with a team of employees
  • Renting out chairs to self-employed stylists
  • Working as a freelancer or mobile beauty professional
  • Selling products alongside your services

Each setup comes with different financial and tax responsibilities, and it’s not always obvious what applies to you. It’s easy for things like VAT, tax deadlines, and record-keeping to slip down the priority list.

That’s where the right support makes a difference by giving you clarity, keeping everything on track, and taking the pressure off.

How We Support Your Beauty Business

Our approach is straightforward. We take care of the numbers, so you can focus on your clients. We can support you with:

  • Accurate Bookkeeping: Keep your records organised, up to date, and easy to manage.
  • Tax Returns: Everything is prepared and filed correctly on time.
  • VAT Advice: Understand if and when VAT applies to your services and sales.
  • Payroll Support: Manage staff pay, whether you employ a team or rent out chairs.
  • Income Tracking: Stay on top of earnings from appointments, treatments, and product sales.
  • Cloud Accounting Tools: Access your finances at any time, with a clear view of how your business is performing.

If you’re not sure what you need, that’s fine too. We’ll guide you through it step by step.

What You Get from Working with Us

We’re not just here to file your accounts once a year. When you work with us, you’ll have:

  • A dedicated accountant who understands your business
  • Clear advice you can actually use day to day
  • Support when you need it, not just at year end
  • A team that helps you stay organised, compliant, and in control

Most importantly, you’ll have peace of mind that everything is being handled properly, without needing to second-guess it.

  • Mollan & Co. have been the accountants for my family for over four decades starting with Peter Mollan and now Rob Mollan. We have received exceptional service and support throughout the years on various matters. The team are always professional, friendly, and approachable. I would not hesitate to recommend the firm to others.

  • We can highly recommend Mollan & Co Accountants. All the staff are very friendly and approachable, but still very professional. Their modern way of working with new technology has been so easy to use, even for us older ones who aren’t very techy. We are very glad we made to change to them, and would like to thank them all for their help in the move from our old accountants.

    Absolutely brilliant service. Lovely staff, very helpful and very friendly.
