Bookkeeping for Taos County

We’re a Santa Fe-based firm providing bookkeeping for small businesses throughout Taos County. Monthly bookkeeping, GRT returns, catch-up work when records have fallen behind. As virtual bookkeepers in New Mexico, everything happens remotely. Serving businesses an hour north is as straightforward as serving ones down the street.

Taos County has a distinct business mix. Galleries on Bent Street, vacation rentals scattered through the Enchanted Circle, contractors building and maintaining homes throughout the county. We work with businesses across this spectrum, bringing consistency and accuracy to books that often get neglected when busy season arrives.

Monthly Bookkeeping

Transactions categorized, accounts reconciled, books closed every month. Financial statements that show where your business actually stands instead of a shoebox of receipts you’ll deal with later.

Catch-Up Bookkeeping

Books untouched for months or years? We reconstruct the history, reconcile accounts, and deliver a clean starting point. Most Taos County clients come to us with a backlog. We get you current.

GRT Returns

New Mexico Gross Receipts Tax requires accurate books and correct location codes. We prepare and file your GRT returns on time, whether you’re filing monthly or quarterly.

QuickBooks Setup

Get your accounting system configured correctly from the start. Chart of accounts that fits your business, connected bank feeds, and training so you understand what you’re looking at.

Taos County Businesses We Work With

Most business owners in Taos County are wearing too many hats. During ski season or summer tourist months, bookkeeping falls to the bottom of the list. The backlog grows. Tax prep becomes stressful. Financial decisions get made on gut feel because the numbers aren’t current enough to trust.

We work with galleries, vacation rental operators, contractors, and service businesses doing anywhere from $50K to a few million in revenue. Businesses that need professional bookkeeping but can’t justify a full-time hire.

Galleries & Artists

Taos has been an art destination for over a century. Gallery bookkeeping requires tracking consignment inventory, artist commissions, and irregular sales patterns. We understand the business model and set up your books accordingly.

Vacation Rentals & Hospitality

Short-term rentals, lodges, bed and breakfasts. Taos Ski Valley fills up in winter, the town buzzes in summer. We track rental income, cleaning expenses, and property costs so you can see profitability by property.

Contractors & Trades

Home builders, remodelers, HVAC, plumbing, electrical. Taos County’s construction market serves both full-time residents and second-home owners. We handle job costing so you know which projects actually make money.

Professional Services

Consultants, coaches, therapists, attorneys. If you’re running a practice or small firm in Taos County, we handle the bookkeeping so you can focus on client work instead of reconciling accounts.

What does monthly bookkeeping cost?

Monthly bookkeeping starts at $199. Your rate depends on expense volume and complexity. We'll give you an exact number after learning about your business.

Do you understand seasonal businesses?

Yes. Ski season, summer tourism, gallery openings. We understand the cash flow patterns Taos County businesses deal with and help you prepare for slower months. Your books should reflect reality, including the seasonal swings.

Can you help with New Mexico Gross Receipts Tax?

Yes. We prepare and file GRT returns and make sure you're using the correct location codes for Taos County. GRT compliance is built into our bookkeeping service.

My books are a few years behind. Can you help?

That's how most clients come to us. We do catch-up work to get your books current, then move into monthly service to keep them that way going forward.
