Stylists are owed their tips, the drawer has to match the deposit, and gift cards sold today are a debt until they're used. LedgerInbox checks your salon's sales, payroll and bank files against each other and lists every gap.
7 days free · no card · cancel anytime
Built on the files your POS and payroll already export. Nothing to install at the front desk.
Card tips collected against tips paid out through payroll, rolled forward month to month so nobody is short-changed quietly.
Cash sales minus payouts against the deposit that reached the bank, every day, at every location.
Each card batch matched to its bank deposit, with settlement delays accounted for.
Gift cards sold against gift cards redeemed, so the outstanding balance on the books is the real one.
Sales tax collected on product sales against what the books say is owed.
Processor fees checked against your contracted rate, so a creeping fee shows up as a finding.
Service revenue and retail product sales kept apart, commissions and tips on their own lines, gift cards and sales tax as liabilities. Every account and vendor below is what a salon client gets.
