We can’t wrap up the year without a playful holiday episode, can we? That’s why our resident Bookkeeping Mensch, Paul Rosenblum, is here to share his bookkeeping take on The Twelve Days of Christmas. He outlines key bookkeeping tasks he focuses on in December to prepare for tax season, such as prioritizing clients, reconciling accounts, and reviewing new tax laws. These preparation tasks help him stay organized so they’re likely to help you do the same. And one more thing to contemplate before 2025: Why was the bookkeeper's favorite Christmas carol 'Silent Night? Because it’s the only time their books are balanced! Happy Holidays and Happy New Year everyone!

Why did the bookkeeper break up with the partnership? Too many outstanding issues and not enough balance! But don't worry, our very balanced Bookkeeper Mensch, Paul Rosenblum, is here to share how to avoid such issues. He talks about five LLCs that hit major bookkeeping snags because the partners weren’t communicating and didn’t have clear roles. They shared QuickBooks subscriptions, payments were late, and the whole thing spiraled into a legal mess. What could have been done differently? Paul's got some grounded and practical recommendations for sure!
