When two businesses blur the lines.Our resident Bookkeeping Mensch, Paul Rosenblum, isn’t just cleaning up books—he’s navigating tangled ones in real time. This episode spends time on a rare challenge: managing finances for two interconnected businesses, where rent flows between an auto shop and the real estate company that owns it, while also handling an LLC-to-corporation transition that’s still overlapping. Add in mismatched credit lines, reconciliation headaches, and a full year-end merge ahead, and it’s clear this isn’t your average summer catch-up. Paul also begins testing alternatives to QuickBooks and shares a clever IT workaround that extends the life of an old office computer. For a behind-the-scenes look at layered bookkeeping decisions and the calm, strategic thinking they require, listen to the full episode.

He highlights the importance of client communication, the reality of adjusting workflows on the fly, and why he’s now focusing on respectful, high-quality clients
