THE PROBLEM
Most self-employed professionals are trained in their field, not in how to properly set up and manage the business behind it.
You may be earning income and paying expenses every day without fully understanding what you should be tracking, what may qualify as a deduction, how expenses should be categorized, or what records you should be keeping.
And if you don’t know what to look for or what questions to ask your accountant, important business details—and potential deductions—can easily be overlooked.
THE SOLUTION
You don’t need to become an accountant or tax professional. But you should understand your own business.
This Tax Manual helps you better understand business setup, expense and deduction categories, recordkeeping, tax-related responsibilities, and other details that are often overlooked when you work for yourself.
The intention is to help you stay informed, keep better records, recognize what may be relevant to your business, and have more informed conversations with the financial professionals you work with.
CREATED FOR BUSINESS OWNERS THROUGHOUT THE UNITED STATES
Although Dee is based in California and many examples throughout the manual come from her experience in the beauty industry, this manual was created for self-employed professionals and small business owners throughout the United States.
Federal business tax deductions apply to qualifying businesses throughout the U.S.
The manual discusses many business expenses and deductions based on federal tax rules that are relevant nationwide.
State and local tax laws, business registration requirements, filing requirements, and the treatment of certain expenses can vary. Individual circumstances and business structures can also affect eligibility, which is why specific tax questions should always be confirmed with your own qualified tax professional.
The manual gives you the awareness and education to better understand what may be relevant to your business and what questions you may need to ask.

This resource was created by Dee Perivolaris, licensed esthetician, spa owner, esthetician mentor, beauty business coach, and founder of The Haus Mentor™.
With more than 23 years in the beauty industry and previous restaurant owner, Dee has experienced firsthand how much of the financial and administrative side of self-employment is learned along the way.
