Where Bookkeeping Meets Immortality: S6E7
About this episode
When the year ends, reflection begins. In this unusually personal episode, our favorite Bookkeeping Mensch, Paul Rosenblum, takes a pause and looks back at a year filled with loss, change, and a few big reminders that even bookkeepers have limits. He talks openly about grief, shifting energy, evolving client relationships, and what it feels like to age in a profession that runs on precision and stamina. As he looks ahead to 2026, Paul starts sorting through which clients, tax preparers, and workloads actually support his well-being and which ones might need to be gently shown the door. He also digs into the business side of letting go, the emotional weight of being the person everyone relies on, and the very real questions around semi-retirement, succession, and where bookkeeping fits in an AI-shaped future.
