Results from shops like yours
“I finally know what each week costs and earns. The dashboard changed how I price my sessions.”
“We thought payroll was handled. Totalis found missing filings, fixed the backlog, and put us on autopilot. No surprises.”
“They showed me I was paying contractors like employees. We corrected it before it turned into a tax problem.”
“Unit P&Ls by artist made underpricing obvious. We adjusted rates and the leaks stopped.”
“A/P approvals and duplicate catch paid for themselves in a month. Vendor errors we never would’ve seen were caught automatically.”
Join studios closing the month in ~10 days with clean numbers and less stress.
FAQs
Do you handle deposits or bookings?
No. Your booking app stays yours. We quantify the financial impact of missed sessions and idle time so the cost shows up clearly on your P&L.
How do you quantify “lost profit” from missed sessions?
We compare labor and fixed costs to actual revenue per artist or chair and show the efficiency gap in dollars. Monthly, not annually.
Can you integrate with our POS or payroll?
Yes — QuickBooks, Square, Gusto, ADP and others. We pull summarized data for efficiency and payroll accuracy; client content stays in your systems.
What’s the real risk of 1099 misclassification?
Back taxes, penalties, interest. We flag risk, quantify exposure, and help you correct it proactively.
Do you replace our bookkeeper or accountant?
We can — many shops prefer it. Totalis is a US-based, fully outsourced Accounting–Finance department: bookkeeping, A/P, A/R, payroll & tips, HR compliance, controller, fractional CFO, FP&A, tax planning and tax prep. If you have a CPA you love, we’ll partner. If not, we can be your A–Z team.
How soon do results show up?
Most studios see change inside 30 days: owner time down, payroll clean, and pricing decisions based on real unit P&Ls.
