What it is
Salons and barbershops have a revenue mix nothing else does — service income, retail product sales, booth rent, and commission splits that a generic chart of accounts flattens into one line. This template reflects an account structure built around how salon, spa, and barbershop books report, so those streams stay separate and readable.
Built by a licensed CPA firm (NJ + NY), it imports into a QuickBooks Online file in about ten minutes. It handles the commission and booth-rent accounts that trip up most beauty-industry books, and it gives you a starting point designed for the way your business actually earns.

How you get it
After checkout you receive an instant digital download — quickbooks online import csv + setup guide (pdf). There is no physical item and nothing ships. You can start using the file the same day.
Setting it up
Getting this chart of accounts into QuickBooks Online takes about ten minutes and does not require any accounting background. The file is a CSV formatted for QuickBooks Online's built-in chart-of-accounts import, so there is no manual retyping of a hundred-plus accounts. The included setup guide (PDF) walks through every step with screenshots.
- Open a fresh QuickBooks Online company file (recommended) or an existing file you want to restructure.
- Use QuickBooks Online's built-in import tool to upload the CSV. The accounts, types, and detail types come in together.
- Follow the guide to confirm the handful of detail-type labels that vary between QBO versions — the guide flags each one and shows the one-click fix.
- Adjust or add accounts so the structure matches how your business actually operates.
Simple Start, Essentials, and Plus each cap the total number of accounts, and this template is sized to fit comfortably in a new file. It is built for QuickBooks Online, not QuickBooks Desktop.
Why buy a template built by a CPA firm
Most bookkeeping templates sold online are built by spreadsheet marketers to look good in a listing. This one was built by the licensed CPAs at ProAxis Tax & Accounting Services (New Jersey and New York) around how the return actually reads. That difference does not show up in a screenshot, but it shows up the first time you reconcile: the accounts are grouped the way your situation reports, the categories line up with the tax form, and the structure holds when the numbers get real.
Every product is reviewed by a licensed CPA before it is published, and any figure it references is cited to a primary IRS or state source and dated inside the file. The goal is an honest, professional starting point — not an optimistic one. If you later decide you would rather hand the work to a CPA than do it yourself, ProAxis does bookkeeping setup, cleanup, and ongoing accounting for businesses across NJ, NY, and PA. The template makes that conversation shorter; it does not depend on it.
