How do I track a prepaid session package?

Record the package invoice with its paid status and note how many sessions remain. Cash Workspace keeps the balance visible so you know what's still owed against the prepayment.

Where should I keep intake and consent forms?

Attach the signed forms to the client record so the document and booking stay together. Cash Workspace stores them; it does not read or extract their contents, and this is record-keeping, not clinical guidance.

Can I keep my insurance and license renewals organized?

Yes — file insurance and license-renewal documents and CE certificates in fiscal-year folders so the annual renewals aren't forgotten at handoff.

Does Cash Workspace handle client health information advice?

No. It organizes your business records — invoices, expenses, and attached documents. It does not give clinical advice and is not a place to manage protected health information.

Cash Workspace

Massage therapy · Finance workspace

A finance workspace for independent massage therapists

Independent massage and bodywork therapists pay treatment-room rent, restock oils and linens, renew licenses and liability insurance, and sell sessions both singly and in packages. Keeping all of it organized — with signed intake and consent forms filed alongside — makes both client care and tax prep simpler. Cash Workspace gives you categories for your real costs, per-session and package invoice statuses, and fiscal-year folders for insurance and continuing-education documents.

The problem

Why massage therapist records slip

Between recurring room rent, small consumable restocks, and renewals that only happen once a year, it's easy for costs and documents to scatter.

A multi-session package is paid up front but you can't tell how many sessions are still owed.
Oils, lotions, and fresh linens are restocked constantly with no consistent category.
Liability insurance and license renewal happen once a year and get forgotten by handoff time.
Continuing-education course receipts are scattered across email confirmations.
Signed intake and consent forms live in a paper folder separate from the booking.

The workflow

Organize a bodywork practice's books

Set up categories and invoice types once, then record sessions and costs the same way every time.

1
Set up practice categories
Create categories for table and linens, oils and supplies, treatment-room rent, insurance, license renewal, CE courses, and booking software.
2
Record sessions and packages
Record per-session and package invoices, marking each paid, partially paid, or due, and noting sessions remaining on a package.
3
Attach intake and rental documents
Attach signed intake and consent forms to the client record and the room-rental agreement to your rent records.
4
File annual renewals
Keep insurance and license-renewal documents and CE certificates in fiscal-year folders so renewals aren't lost.
5
Review monthly and at year-end
Each month, check package balances and unpaid sessions; at year-end, confirm categories and export for your accountant.

Record structure

What to record for each session and cost

Consistent fields keep package balances and annual renewals organized.

Client and session type: The client and whether it's a single session, a package, or a recurring booking.
Invoice status: Paid, partially paid, or due, for both single sessions and packages.
Sessions remaining: For a prepaid package, how many sessions are still owed.
Expense category: Table and linens, oils and supplies, room rent, insurance, license, or CE course.
Recurring vs. annual: Whether a cost recurs (room rent, software) or happens once a year (insurance, license).
Vendor and amount: Who you paid and how much, e.g. a supplier for massage oil or a CE provider for a course.
Attached document: The signed intake form, consent form, room-rental agreement, or CE certificate.
