Love doing hair, hate the numbers?

Is your cash flow
killing your profits?

Cut through the financial noise, reduce the stress, and create calm behind the scenes of your salon.

What We Do

Here’s What Shifts When You Work With Profit Max

Whether you run a hair salon, beauty salon, parlour, or barber shop, the daily pressure is real.

You’re spinning your wheels.
Juggling clients, managing staff, covering wages, chasing bookings, and constantly stressing about cash flow. You’re flat out all week, but somehow, there’s never enough left over.

It’s exhausting, mentally and financially. And the worst part?
No one ever gave you the tools to fix it.

That’s where Profit Max steps in.

We work with salon owners and barbers who love what they do, but are tired of doing it all alone. Using a specialised cashflow system, we bring structure to the chaos, calm to the stress, and a clear, human-first plan that puts you back in control — without spreadsheets, shame, or financial jargon.

Whether you’re running a one-chair barbershop or a busy beauty salon with a full team, we’ll help you:

  • Take control of your cash flow

  • Pay yourself consistently

  • Clear debt faster

  • And finally feel proud of your business behind the scenes, not just at the front desk

Because a successful salon isn’t just fully booked.
It’s financially calm, supported, and built to last.

Profit Starts with Structure

Start With Clarity: Your Salon Profit Plan

You’re great at making people feel confident—but what about your own finances?
If cash flow feels confusing and your bank balance never seems to reflect your hard work, it’s time for a smarter system.

This is the first step in the Profit Max method: we look at your salon’s income, expenses, and spending habits, and build a Profit First plan made just for you.

No spreadsheets. No guesswork. Just a clear, easy-to-follow strategy that helps you take control and finally pay yourself what you’re worth.

What You’ll Get:

A full review of your salon’s finances—what’s working, what’s not
A personalized Profit First plan that sets aside money for tax, pay, profit & growth
A path to reduce debt and stop living invoice to invoice
A system that brings stability, clarity, and peace of mind
Confidence to make smart money decisions—without second-guessing

Whether you run a bustling salon or a cozy chair rental setup, this is how you stop surviving and start profiting.

It’s not about working more hours. It’s about finally making your money work for you.

One-Time Investment: $1,997 ex GST
This isn’t just a financial review—it’s the turning point your salon’s been waiting for.

For less than the cost of one mediocre marketing campaign, you’ll walk away with a complete profit system that puts you in control, pays you first, and sets your salon up to grow with confidence.

No fluff. No filler. Just financial clarity and a clear path to profit.

Why Profit Max

Led by Experience. Backed by Results.

Built for You.

Profit Max was created by Richard Hinz, a former tax accountant with 25+ years of experience helping small business owners get their finances sorted.

After working with hundreds of passionate salon owners, he kept seeing the same thing:
Busy books. Happy clients. Stressed-out owners.
Despite the success on the surface, the numbers behind the scenes told a different story, cash flow chaos, tax panic, and little to no profit left at the end of the month.

It wasn’t a lack of work ethic. It was a lack of structure.

That’s why Richard developed a cashflow management process and built Profit Max,  to give business owners a simple, proven system to take control of their money, pay off debt, and finally see their effort reflected in their bank account.

This isn’t just bookkeeping.
This is about freedom, confidence, and building a business that actually supports your life, not drains it

I have been working with Richard for the last 12 months and I must say it has been an eye-opener in the best way possible. He’s not just someone who crunches numbers or gives surface-level advice, he’s deeply committed to helping businesses grow profitably, and he brings real strategy and structure to the table.
What sets Richard apart is his genuine care for the businesses he works with. He takes the time to understand not just the financials, but the people behind them. He doesn’t throw cookie-cutter solutions at you, instead, he applies the Profit First framework with clarity and purpose, showing you how to make profit a habit, not a hope.
Richard doesn’t just give you theory, he gets in the trenches with you. He holds you accountable, challenges old ways of thinking, and helps you make decisions that drive real, measurable results. He’s calm, practical, and laser-focused on doing things right, not just fast.
If you own a salon, barber shop, or beauty parlour on the Gold Coast and you're looking to take control of your finances and grow a healthier, more profitable business, you won’t find anyone more committed to your success than Richard. He’s not just a numbers guy. He’s a growth partner you can trust.

I owned a hair and beauty salon in Southport and as it grew I was struggling to keep on top of the financials. I found Richard who helped me get a grip on my salon financials but also helped me grow the business from 4 staff to 10. He helped me with many aspects of running a profitable business which was a great stress and weight lifted off myself as a business owner. He is honest and caring but most importantly works directly with you and always has time to talk you through difficult times. I highly recommend and have recommended him to many of my fellow salon owners who he has also guided when it comes to business financials and profitability.

Richard has knowledge and ideas that have re inspired me as a business owner and changed the way I look at my figures. 4 months ago I was drowning- struggling with each bill, each bas and scared to keep going. Weekly he keeps me on track and keeps me aligned with the end goal- profit. He has dived deeper than I ever thought on salon experience, profit margins, pricing and my dream life. I have owned my salon for 9 years but I’ve never looked at putting profit and myself first. In only 4 short months I have enough put aside for BAs, an account for profit, bills and materials and I feel safe. It sounds crazy but I can only my imagine where I will be in 1 year with the guidance of Richard by my side. I couldn’t recommend him more.

"Before Profit Max, my business looked successful on the outside, but inside I was drowning.
BAS time was a nightmare, and I barely had anything left over for myself after paying everyone else.

Richard's approach made everything manageable again.
Now I feel confident with my money, I've cleared thousands in debt, and my business actually supports the life I want, not the other way around.

If you're ready to stop struggling in silence, I can't recommend Profit Max enough."

"I honestly thought financial stress was just part of running a salon.
Profit Max showed me that it doesn't have to be that way.

Working with Richard made everything feel so much simpler.
We set up a system that made paying myself, and actually keeping money aside, feel automatic.

For the first time in years, I don't feel like I'm chasing my tail.
I know exactly where I stand, and I can finally plan for real growth."

"Before working with Profit Max, I felt like I was constantly hustling just to keep my head above water.
The salon looked busy from the outside, but behind the scenes, I was stressed, overwhelmed, and barely paying myself.

Richard made everything feel clear and possible again.
He helped me set up a simple system that put my profit first, and for the first time, I knew exactly where my money was going and how to plan for growth without panic.

Within a few months, I’d paid off old debts, built real savings, and started feeling proud of my business again.
Profit Max didn’t just change my numbers, it changed how I feel about running my salon.

If you’re tired of working non-stop and still feeling stuck, Profit Max is exactly what you need."
