QuickBooks Setup for Tattoo Artists

Set it up right once, so you’re not fixing it for years.

What I do:

• Help you pick the right QuickBooks plan (or tell you if you don’t actually need it yet)
• Set up a tattoo-specific chart of accounts (supplies, booth rent, commissions, tips, conventions, etc.)
• Connect bank/credit card accounts and create simple rules
• Set up basic reports so you can actually see profit, not just numbers
• 1 live walkthrough call so you know where to click and what to ignore

Perfect if:

• You’re starting fresh and don’t want to screw it up
• You opened QuickBooks, clicked around, and noped right back out
• You want to DIY your books but need a pro to build the foundation

Investment:

This is a one-time project.

Most QuickBooks setup are  $450–$900, depending on the complexity of the setup. 

We’ll look at your situation on a call first so you know exactly what it’ll cost before we start

Historical Summary Backfill (Light Cleanup)

For when you don’t need a full clean-up — you just need your books brought up to date.

What this service is:
This is a light, simplified version of cleanup designed to bring your books current using monthly summary totals only. Instead of fixing every individual transaction, I enter accurate month-by-month totals into QuickBooks so your financials are complete, clean, and ready to move forward.

This option helps you get caught up quickly without the time or cost of a full reconstruction.

This service is a great fit if:
• You already have monthly totals from your CPA, bank, or spreadsheets
• You just need those numbers entered into QuickBooks (ex: 12 monthly journal entries)
• You don’t need transaction-level fixing, category cleanup, or investigation
• You want your books accurate, organized, and ready for monthly bookkeeping

Investment:

This is a one-time project.

Custom Money System Setup (No QuickBooks Needed)

For artists who aren’t ready for software, but are done with chaos.

What I do:

• Build a simple, custom income & expense tracker based on how you get paid
• Add columns/sections for things like:
• Flash events
• Conventions
• Gift cards
• Tips
• Create a weekly or monthly check-in routine so you actually use it
• Walk you through it live (20–30 minutes)

Perfect if:

• You’re new in business or cash is tight
• You want to build the habit of tracking before paying for tools
• Spreadsheets are fine — as long as you don’t have to design them

Investment:

This is a one-time project.

Investment varies $175–$275

SoulBalance Money Audit

An honest, no-bullsh*t review of your money.

What it is:
A 90-minute deep dive where I go through your books, systems, and numbers and tell you what’s working, what’s leaking, and what needs to change — in plain English, not accountant robot speak.

You’ll get:

• Pre-audit form so I know your situation + access to your reports/QBO/spreadsheets
• 90-minute recorded Zoom call where we walk through everything together
• A simple 1–2 page summary of:
• Red flags
• Quick wins you can fix this month
• Bigger shifts for the next 3–6 months
• Clear “do this first, then this, then this” action list

Great for:

• Artists or studios who already use QuickBooks or have a bookkeeper but feel in the dark
• Anyone considering hiring a bookkeeper and wanting a reality check first
• Those “I know I’m leaving money on the table, I just don’t know where” vibes
