💸 How I Manage My Beauty Business Money Like a Boss — And How You Can Too

Running a beauty business means you’re wearing a lot of hats — stylist, educator, customer service, content creator, and yes… CFO. If you’ve ever found yourself saying “Where did all my money go?” or mixing your personal and business cash, sis — let’s fix that.

Here’s how I organize my beauty income, taxes, and personal pay using three tools that work together to give you clarity, confidence, and even help build your credit.

🏁 Step 1: Start With Stripe – Your Payment Gateway

Stripe is what powers the checkout pages on my website. It’s where all client payments come in — whether it’s for a course, a product, or an appointment.

Why Stripe?
Because it’s secure, widely accepted, and connects beautifully with HighLevel, Shopify, Squarespace — all the platforms we use.

Pro Tip: Always make sure your Stripe account is connected to your business bank, not your personal one. That leads us to step two...


🏦 Step 2: Connect Stripe to a Novo Business Account

Novo is my business banking account — and I love it because it was built for entrepreneurs. No monthly fees, no fluff, and every dollar that lands here is business income, plain and simple.

Here’s why I use Novo:

  • Keeps my personal and business money separate

  • Lets me tag and track every dollar (great for taxes)

  • Helps me manage cash flow with built-in reports

🔥 Sign up for Novo here (and support my brand):

💼 Step 3: Pay Yourself Through Chime

Once the money is sitting pretty in Novo, it’s time to pay the most important employee in your business — YOU. That’s where Chime comes in.

Chime gives you:

  • A private, personal checking account

  • No hidden fees

  • Direct deposit + debit card

  • Most importantly: it builds your credit over time

By using Novo to pay into Chime, you separate your business revenue from your personal pay — while creating a record of income and credit history.

💡 Recap – Here's Your Beauty Banking Blueprint

  1. Stripe – Takes payments from your website

  2. Novo – Receives and organizes your business money

  3. Chime – Pays you (and builds your personal credit)

That’s it.
No messy Venmo transfers. No tax-time panic. Just clean, clear, boss-level banking.

📝 Final Word from Becky

Being a beauty pro means being a businesswoman — and businesswomen manage their money with intention. You deserve a system that works for you, not against you.

So let’s glow up your finances one clean transfer at a time.
