Beauty School & Beauty Industry Audits

If you’re a beauty school owner, we don’t have to tell you twice about the gravity of audits. Whether it’s a compliance or financial aid audit, getting professional help during this process can provide great peace of mind.

And while there are 138,000 accounting firms in the United States, not all of them are qualified to perform audits. Lightheart, Sanders and Associates (LSA) has worked with more than 130 beauty/barber schools and specializes in beauty school-specific audits.

What We Do

When it comes to your school, experience matters. Lightheart Sanders performs student financial aid (SFA), Higher Educational Emergency Relief Fund (HEERF), and compliance audits. These audits are done to ensure that beauty and barber schools meet the reporting requirements of the Department of Education, accreditors, and/or state authorities. Our team has years of experience, industry knowledge, and technological savvy to make your audit experience as simple as possible.

Hear From Our Clients


“I have been going to Lightheart, Sanders and Associates for the pass 7 years. Previously I was during my own taxes, what a mistake. Once I started letting Kevin prepare my taxes, I have saved tons of money. The staff has been wonderful and were always available to answer all my tax questions. Great job, guys…”
Anthony P.

“I wish I had met the team at Lightheart Sanders long before I did. After meeting Andrew Bodin, I was convinced he could provide the level of service I needed from an accountant. After reviewing my previous year’s taxes, they realized I was missing out on thousands of dollars in tax savings. I now trust this team with all of my accounting needs.”
Mark M.

“We have used Lightheart and Sanders for over 15 years and have extremely pleased with their services and professionalism. Their knowledge base on taxes and Federal year to year changes have saved us money as well. The BEST IN THE BUSINESS!”
