If you’ve ever felt like keeping on top of your finances takes longer than actually doing clients — this update is for you.

Over the past few weeks, I’ve been listening closely to some of our most engaged users. One conversation in particular stood out. A super busy beauty professional told me she loved the idea of 70Lives — but she was close to giving up.

Not because the app wasn’t useful. But because manually adding hundreds of transactions one by one was taking too long.

That feedback changed everything.

Today, I’m excited to share one of the biggest and most impactful updates to 70Lives so far.


NEW: Fresha Detailed Sales Report Upload


Many beauty professionals run their entire business through Fresha.

Bookings, treatments, clients — everything lives there.

The problem? Fresha doesn’t show:


  • VAT liability

  • How sales compare to expenses

  • Your real tax position

  • What you can actually take home


Now, 70Lives fills that gap.


What this means for you:


Unlike generic tools, 70Lives is a beauty business accounting software designed specifically for how salons, freelancers, and self-employed beauty professionals actually work. You can now upload your Fresha detailed sales log report directly into 70Lives App.

In seconds, the app will:


  • Import all your sales in bulk

  • Automatically categorise treatments

  • Calculate VAT using your registered VAT settings

  • Instantly show how your sales stack up against:

    • expenses

    • VAT due

    • tax liability

    • real take-home pay


No manual entry. No spreadsheets. No guesswork.

Just real financial clarity.


NEW: Bank Statement Uploads for Expenses (and Sales)


We’ve also added bank statement imports to make expense tracking effortless.

Here’s where it gets clever 👇

  • Upload a bank statement (csv format) in the Add Expenses tab→ 70Lives extracts expenses only

  • Upload the same statement in the Add Sales tab→ 70Lives extracts income only

This means:

  • No duplicated data

  • No messy clean-up

  • No inflated turnover by mistake

It works the way your business actually works.


Why this update matters


This isn’t just a convenience feature.

It means you can:

  • Bring months (or years) of data into 70Lives in minutes

  • Stop spending evenings logging transactions

  • Finally see the full picture of your beauty business:

    • sales

    • expenses

    • VAT

    • tax

    • take-home pay

For many users, this is the moment 70Lives becomes essential, not optional.


❤️ A Beauty Business Accounting Software Built for Busy Professionals


Every major improvement in 70Lives comes directly from listening to beauty professionals who are running busy, real-world businesses.

If you’ve ever thought:

“I know I’m busy… but I don’t know if I’m doing well”

This update was built for you.
