Bookkeeping for Historic Eastside Businesses
Bookkeeping for Historic Eastside businesses in Santa Fe. Art galleries on Canyon Road, studios, vacation rentals, and real estate.
Bookkeeping for the Historic Eastside
The Historic Eastside is where Santa Fe’s artistic identity lives. Canyon Road galleries, adobe studios on Cerro Gordo, creative businesses tucked along Palace Avenue and Alameda. It’s also where bookkeeping often falls behind because the work itself takes priority over the paperwork.
We provide Santa Fe bookkeeping services for businesses throughout the Historic Eastside. Monthly bookkeeping, GRT filings, catch-up work for records that have gone untouched. Everything delivered with the kind of scrutiny that comes from 20 years of accounting experience and a background in internal audit.

Historic Eastside Businesses We Work With
Canyon Road alone has over a hundred galleries. Add the studios, vacation rentals, and small businesses scattered across the Eastside’s historic streets, and you have a neighborhood with real accounting complexity. Consignment arrangements, artist commissions, seasonal tourism swings, properties that serve as both homes and businesses.
We work with Historic Eastside businesses that have outgrown the shoebox-of-receipts approach but don’t need a full accounting department. Clean books, accurate GRT, and someone who actually answers questions when you have them.

Short-term rental properties in the historic district. Booking income, cleaning costs, property expenses, and the specific reporting requirements that come with operating lodging in Santa Fe.

Starting at $199 per month based on your expense volume. We give you an exact quote after learning about your business. No hourly billing, no surprise invoices.
