What Is Gallery Accounting and Management Software?

Gallery accounting software combines core financial capabilities with the specialized workflows art businesses require. Every transaction, from collector invoices to artist payments, feeds directly into the general ledger, delivering real-time insight into cash flow, receivables, and true margins across programs and sales channels.

Turn commission complexity into financial clarity

Art meets accuracy

With NetSuite Gallery Accounting and Management Software, art businesses can automate commission calculations, generate professional artist statements, and delineate consigned and owned inventory—all while tracking profitability by artist, show, or fair. The result: stronger financial oversight and faster month-end closes.

NetSuite Gallery Accounting and Management Software features

NetSuite brings financial, operational, and sales data onto a single platform designed specifically for art businesses. Galleries are able to control costs, strengthen artist relationships, and scale.

General ledger

Track financials across artists, exhibitions, fairs, and sales channels. Transactions can be tagged by program or location for precise, dimensional reporting.

Cash management

Maintain healthy liquidity with forecasting tools that factor in receivables, payables, deposits, and artist obligations.

Accounts receivable

Automate invoicing, track deposits and payment plans, and apply credits with ease. NetSuite accelerates collections, improves cash flow, and supports common transactions like reserves and approvals.

Accounts payable

Automate invoice matching and approval workflows so artists, framers, shippers, and vendors are paid accurately and on time. Capture early payment discounts and reduce administrative overhead.

Account reconciliation

AI-assisted reconciliation speeds the monthly close through automatic transaction matching across bank feeds, credit cards, and artist payout accounts.

Tax management

Calculate sales tax and VAT at the line level, automate filings, and support global requirements to reduce audit risk and manual effort.

Close management

Automated journal entries, cross-location consolidation, and approval workflows accelerate the period-end close. Galleries can meet reporting deadlines and adapt quickly to changing financial demands.

Fixed assets management

Track equipment, lighting, display fixtures, and storage assets from acquisition to disposal. Built-in depreciation schedules, lease accounting, and maintenance tracking help galleries realize the full value of their investments.

Payment management

NetSuite’s integrated payment solutions accept collector payments via credit card, ACH, or wire—and issue artist payouts efficiently. Automated processing reduces days sales outstanding.
