IRIS + Hair & Beauty Salons: Faster Bank Import
Hair and beauty salons handle a mix of card payments, cash transactions, product sales, and chair rental income — often without dedicated accounting staff. If you use IRIS for your accounting, you need a fast way to get bank statement data into the system.
BankScan AI for Hair & Beauty Salons Using IRIS
BankScan AI converts any bank statement PDF to CSV formatted for direct import into IRIS. Convert your salon bank statements to clean spreadsheets to track daily revenue, reconcile supplier payments, and prepare your books for your accountant.
The Hair & Beauty Salons + IRIS Workflow
Salon owners process daily card and cash payments through their booking system, receive chair rental income from self-employed stylists, pay product suppliers, and manage staff wages. Bank statements are reconciled against the salon booking system's daily takings reports, with product retail sales separated from service income for VAT and profitability analysis.
Key terms you'll encounter: chair rental, column income, retail vs service split, appointment booking.
How It Works
Upload any bank statement PDF
Supports all major banks. Saves 1-2 hours per week on daily takings reconciliation and supplier payment matching for a salon processing 100+ appointments per week
AI formats for IRIS
Output as CSV with Date, Narrative, Debit, Credit — IRIS uses Narrative instead of Description and requires separate Debit/Credit columns — dates in DD/MM/YYYY.
Import and reconcile
In IRIS Accountancy Suite, open the client file, go to Bank > Import Transactions. Select the CSV file, map columns to Date, Narrative, Debit, Credit, and import. IRIS links bank transactions directly to tax computations, so imported statements feed into both bookkeeping and tax return preparation simultaneously.
