Are you looking for credible bookkeeping services to handle your fitness center finances? Atlanta’s LYFE Accounting got your back.

01

Bookkeeping

Gym bookkeeping gives you the financial insight you need to make sound decisions for your gym management. Not only will you understand your income and expenses, but you’ll also know which assets or equipment you have on hand and the value of each. Doing this will prepare you for any necessary equipment replacements. In addition, gym bookkeeping helps maintain accurate depreciation amounts which will ultimately help you save in taxes later on.

02

Tax Preparation

Tax preparation is not the reason you started your fitness business. Which is why we are here. Our team of CPAs, bookkeepers and tax preparers will help you maximize your tax deductions and lower your tax bill. We find that most businesses in the health and fitness industry wait until tax time to think about their taxes. When, in fact, tax should be a continuous conversation throughout the year. Our professionals can create an annual tax strategy that focuses on saving you the most in taxes.

03

CFO Services

If you want to take your gym, studio, or spa to the next level, you need CFO services. If health & fitness bookkeeping reports on your past financial results, health & fitness CFO services, on the other hand, reports on your future financial results. Our team of CPAs and CFOs develop budgets and projections that will help you plan for the future. Our team also renders advice and recommendations on your financial strategy so that your business can improve operations and efficiency.

Why Your Fitness Business Needs Accounting Services

Accounting is a necessary part of every business. However, as a health & fitness professional, your time is better spent focusing on your business needs and acquiring new members. By having an accounting professional on your team, you can rest assured that your books are accurate. In addition to that, you’ll have the convenience of a trusted financial advisor in your corner every step of the way.

Fitness and gym accounting gives you your time back and removes the hassle of trying to figure out complicated accounting jargon, intimidating accounting software, and tax rules. Many gym, salon, spa and studio owners find themselves doing their own books or preparing their own taxes. But the fact is, very few non-accountants can do this successfully. And as a business owner, you surely don’t want to risk misclassifying transactions, that could ultimately trigger an IRS audit.

 Health & Fitness Accounting  Considerations

Health & fitness accounting has special rules for accounting transactions such as memberships, cash flow, and prepaid items. It’s important to follow these considerations to avoid mistakes in your bookkeeping and taxes. Here are three considerations to keep in mind for accounting for gyms, salons or spas:

Membership Dues

If your gym or fitness business receives membership dues of your new members upfront, this is a prepaid transaction. It means, you still have an obligation to perform a service for these clients. Monthly memberships are also considered prepaid until the last day of the month.

Contractors

As a responsible business owner, you should always keep proper records for the contractors you hire. Whether they be trainers, dance instructors, hair stylists or other professionals, you want to be able to deduct those expenses on your tax return. In order to do so, you need to issue 1099s to them every year. Otherwise, there are penalties associated with failing to do so.

Cash Flow Considerations

Because your customers could ask for refunds for any prepaid service, it’s important to keep prepaid money and earned money separate in your accounting system. If not, you might find yourself strapped for cash if one month is heavier in customer refunds and you already spent funds received.
