FOR ESTABLISHED, SELF-EMPLOYED WOMEN IN HAIR & MAKEUP
You're earning good money. So why doesn't it feel like you have more to show for it?
You’ve built a reputation, your clients loves you, and your diary is busy. Yet you still find yourself wondering where the money went - and how much you can comfortably spend or put aside.
Pay Yourself Properly is a four-week financial reset where we’ll work with your actual business numbers and build a clear system for managing what you earn.
personal guidance from Birute Thomas - an award-winning makeup artist and Financial Security Mentor with an Accountancy & Finance degree and nearly ten years’ experience in finance.
You know how to look after your clients. Now give your business money the same attention.
Client payments arrive. Business costs leave.
You take some money for yourself, pay what needs paying and keep going.
But a bank balance doesn’t tell you how much is already needed elsewhere.
Perhaps you’re unsure what to keep for tax, what you can comfortably spend or how much a busy month needs to contribute towards a quieter one.
You don’t want money management to become another job.
You want a straightforward way to understand what’s happening - and know what to do next.
From money coming and going to money with a clear purpose.
How it may feel now:
▪️Money comes in, but you're unsure where it goes.
▪️You take money for yourself whenever you need it.
▪️Tax money gets mixed in with everyday spending.
▪️Busy months come and go without preparing for quiet ones.
▪️You check your balance but still don't know what you can spend.
What we'll build together:
✔️A simple system that gives your money a clear purpose.
✔️A realistic amount to pay yourself and a regular payday.
✔️A separate tax pot with a plan for adding to it.
✔️A buffer target and practical steps to prepare for quieter months.
✔️A 20-minute weekly routine to see what's available and what needs attention.
"Before meeting Birute I was taking money whenever I needed it from my business bank account. Now I have my percentages and I know exactly what goes where and what I can safely pay myself on regular basis." - Karen
The aim is to make better decisions with the money already coming in - and give you more to show for the work you do.
We’ll build your money system together.
You’ll bring your income, expenses, questions and current way of doing things. I’ll help you make sense of them and turn them into a practical plan for your business.
First, your private 75-minute Financial Reality Review
We’ll look at your income, costs, current money habits and goals.
You’ll have space to ask the questions you’ve been putting off, understand your starting point and identify what needs your attention first.
Then, three live sessions in a group of just four women
We’ll work through:
Your 5-Pot System: Costs, Tax, Pay, Buffer and Future.
Your personal pay: a realistic starting amount and regular payday.
Your buffer: what you want to prepare for and how to start building towards it.
Your Weekly Money Date: a practical routine designed to take around 20 minutes.
Your next 90 days: clear priorities for keeping your system going.
✴ A full diary doesn’t automatically create financial security - but a simple plan for every pound can. ✴
Support while you put it into practice
You’ll have WhatsApp support between sessions during the four weeks, so you can ask questions as you make changes.
Your personalised written Money Plan
We’ll bring your decisions together in one place, with your money system and actions for the next 90 days.
A private follow-up to review your progress
The birthday round includes an additional 45-minute Money Momentum Check-In, approximately 30 days after the programme ends.
We’ll look at what’s working, what needs adjusting and where you need support next.
Your investment: £346
LIMITED SPACES because each woman receives a private review, personal support and an individual written plan.
I understand the money - and the industry you earn it in.
Hi, I’m Birute Thomas.
Before becoming an award-winning makeup artist and founding Studio B Collective, I studied Accountancy & Finance and spent nearly ten years working in finance.
I understand the numbers. I also understand wedding seasons, cancellations, client payments and the uncertainty of self-employed income.
And I’ve experienced the gap between earning money and managing it well.
Even with my financial background, it took me three years of self-employment to start managing my money properly. I was delighted to get paid for my makeup work, but I spent without a clear plan and hoped there would be enough when winter became quiet or tax was due.
Sometimes, I relied on my husband or my mum for help. That experience is why this work matters to me.
I’m here to help you understand your business money and create a system you can use in everyday life - with clear language, practical steps and personal support.
What women have said about working with me:
"Before meeting Birute I was taking money whenever I needed it from my business bank account. Now I have my percentages and I know exactly what goes where and what I can safely pay myself on regular basis." - Karen
"Birute, thank you for such a wonderful introduction to the world of self-employed finances." - Sarah
“Before our meeting, I had lots of unorganised areas in my business, but you helped me gain clarity on where to focus first. This week, I’m keeping focused and have strategies in place.” - Karen
How it fits around your business
The experience runs on a regular basis.
In Week 1, you’ll have your private Financial Reality Review, booked at a time that works for you.
Over the following three weeks, we’ll meet for Monday-morning group sessions. All group sessions are recorded.
Please protect the live sessions where possible so you can ask questions and receive support, particularly the final session where we bring your plan together.
A few questions you might have
If you can't find the answer waiting for you below, please email me at [email protected]
IS THIS FOR ME IF MY BUSINESS IS ALREADY DOING WELL?
Yes. This experience is designed for established hair and makeup artists who have income coming in and want to manage it more intentionally. You don’t need to be struggling for bookings to want more financial security.
DO I NEED TO HAVE EVERYTHING ORGANISED FIRST?
No. Your private review is where we begin making sense of your current setup. You don’t need a perfect spreadsheet or a perfectly organised business to start.
WHAT IF I'M NOT EARNING MUCH YET?
You don’t have to wait until you earn more to start managing your money. However, this particular group is designed for established artists with ongoing business income. If you’re unsure whether it fits your stage, email me before booking and we’ll discuss it.
WHAT IF I CAN'T ATTEND EVERY SESSION LIVE?
Your private review is booked individually, and all three group sessions are recorded. Joining live gives you the opportunity to ask questions and receive support during the session. If possible, please prioritise attending your private review and the final Future and 90-Day Plan session live.
WHAT IF MY INCOME CHANGES EVERY MONTH?
We’ll work with your actual income patterns, including busy and quieter periods. Your plan needs to fit how your business earns money.
WHAT IF I FEEL EMBARRASSED ABOUT MY FINANCES?
Please don’t. You can bring your questions and concerns without judgement. Your personal numbers are reviewed privately with me.
HOW MUCH TIME WILL I NEED?
You’ll attend your private 75-minute Financial Reality Review and three 60-minute group sessions. Once your system is set up, your Weekly Money Date is designed to take approximately 20 minutes.
DOES THIS REPLACE MY ACCOUNTANT OR BOOKKEEPER?
No. This experience helps you understand and manage your business money day to day. It complements their work.
Have more to show for the business you’ve worked hard to build.
A clearer view of your money.
A practical plan for what to spend, keep and put aside.
And personal support to help you put that plan into practice.
