Bookkeeping for gyms and fitness studios
Gyms and studios sell memberships, class packs and personal training, often paid months in advance. We record income as it's earned, reconcile every payment channel and keep VAT and payroll on time.
Common challenges we fix
- Annual memberships paid upfront but used over months
- Class packs and personal training sessions not yet used
- Trainer commissions calculated by hand
- Payments through apps, cards and booking platforms
What we handle for you
- Membership and package income spread over the service period
- Unused sessions and packs tracked as unearned income
- Trainer commissions from booking data
- Booking app, card and POS payments reconciled to the bank
- VAT returns, payroll and WPS
- Monthly revenue by membership type and location
Frequently asked questions
Is an annual membership all income in the month it's paid?
No. For accounting, membership income is recognised over the months it covers, so your monthly profit is accurate. For VAT, tax is generally due when payment is received.
Can you calculate trainer commissions?
Yes. We use your booking or POS data to calculate commissions each month and include them in payroll.
