Fractional CFO for Salons & Spas
A CFO who actually
speaks salon.
Ignite CFO Group gives salon and spa owners CFO-level financial clarity — monthly P&L, 13-week cash flow, and the salon KPIs that actually drive the business — without the cost of a full-time hire.
Generic financial help doesn't fit a salon.
Most bookkeepers and CPAs treat a salon like any other business. They don't know commission vs. booth rent vs. hourly, why your labor line swings with the schedule, or how much margin is hiding in your retail shelf. So you're left translating your own numbers — or flying blind between appointments.
We do one thing: fractional CFO work for salons and spas. Every client we serve runs a salon, a spa, or a blow-dry bar. That focus is the whole point.
Built around how salons actually make money.
We speak salon
Commission, hourly, and booth-rent pay models. Retail-vs-service margins. Tip handling. We read your P&L the way you run your floor.
Chair-level economics
Profitability per stylist, per chair, per location — so you know which seats and services pay, and which quietly don't.
Built on your POS
We pull from the tools you already run — your salon POS (Phorest, Meevo) and QuickBooks — and turn raw transactions into decisions.
Retail as a real revenue line
Most salons leave money on the shelf. We treat product as a second P&L — inventory, attach rates, and margin.
The salon KPIs we track.
Not generic small-business metrics — the numbers that tell you what's really happening on your floor.
What every engagement includes.
Monthly P&L Clarity
Clean, consistent statements every month — with context, not just numbers. Department and location splits, month-over-month trends, board-ready reports.
Cash Flow Forecasting
A rolling 13-week cash model that maps payroll, rent, and tax dates — so you see the low point before you hit it.
Real-Time KPI Dashboards
Your salon's numbers, updated daily and available anytime in your private client portal.
How it works.
Strategy Call
A free 30-minute conversation about your salon, your pain points, and what clarity would unlock.
