Personal Care Services

Businesses in Carlow built around providing hair, beauty, style and wellbeing services will benefit from our efficient accounting services and smart business advice.

You might be an individual hairdresser, barber, beautician, tattooist or personal trainer operating as a sole trader, or on a rent-a-space basis. Or perhaps you run your own salon or service, from home or from high street premises. You might even be running a gym or clinic, with a number of employees or contractors using the space to work with clients.

Either way, it’s about ensuring financial administration isn’t standing in the way of you doing your work; that you’re able to meet your statutory obligations without stress; and that your tax liability is fair and reasonable.

For individual personal care practitioners, we look after day-to-day financial administration and preparation of personal income tax returns. We’ll help you keep good records, using cloud accounting to track allowable business expenses, and make sure to claim all allowable business expenses and tax reliefs on your behalf at year-end.

If you operate as a limited company, we’ll take care of your year-end corporation tax return and all the paperwork you need to complete with Revenue throughout the year.

If your business is above the annual VAT threshold, we can also advise on the VAT treatment of specific products and services, such as beauty salon services (reduced rate) versus sunbed treatments (standard rate).

Whatever the size or structure of your business, we can also provide tailored advice on business growth. From taking on employees and setting up as a limited company, to expanding your operation through acquisition or expansion, we’ll make sure you have the data, direction and documentation you need to succeed.

“Excellent, efficient and prompt, I’m always met with a diligent and caring service. I’m always made feel at ease, resting in the knowledge that my business affairs are in such competent and expert hands. I’m happy to say I’ve been a content client of Emma’s for close to a decade with top notch service and advice throughout.”
