Bookkeeping for Railyard District Businesses
Bookkeeping services for galleries, artists, restaurants, and market vendors in the Railyard District. Local expertise for Santa Fe's creative economy.
The Railyard's Financial Side
The Railyard District runs on art, food, and the people who show up every weekend for the Farmers Market. It’s a neighborhood where galleries share walls with restaurants and studios operate above retail spaces. The businesses here are creative, often unconventional, and usually run by people who would rather focus on their work than their accounting.
We’re small business bookkeepers in New Mexico who understand the Railyard economy. Consignment sales that don’t follow standard retail patterns. Seasonal traffic that spikes during Indian Market and drops in the slow months. GRT filings that trip up businesses unfamiliar with New Mexico tax rules. We handle all of it so you can focus on what you opened your doors to do.

Railyard Businesses We Work With
The Railyard has a mix of businesses that looks different from the rest of Santa Fe. Galleries showing contemporary work rather than traditional Southwestern art. Restaurants serving the locals who live nearby and the tourists who come for the weekend. Artists who need studio space and someone to track their sales. Market vendors who operate seasonally and need books that reflect an irregular calendar.
We work with businesses across this spectrum. If your financials have gotten complicated or neglected while you focused on the actual work, that’s exactly where we step in.
Galleries
Galleries
Consignment accounting, artist payouts, commission tracking, and inventory management for artwork. Gallery bookkeeping requires understanding how money moves between the gallery and the artists it represents. We track it accurately.
Artists and Studios
Artists and Studios
Income from sales, commissions, licensing, and teaching. Expenses for materials, studio rent, and travel to shows. We organize the financial side of a creative practice so you can see what’s working and what isn’t.
Restaurants and Cafes
Restaurants and Cafes
The Railyard’s food scene serves both neighborhood regulars and weekend visitors. We handle the daily reconciliation, tip reporting, and cost tracking that restaurants need to stay profitable.
Market Vendors
Market Vendors
Farmers Market vendors and seasonal sellers with revenue that peaks on Saturdays and disappears in winter. We structure bookkeeping around your actual business cycle, not a standard monthly calendar.
