I’m thinking about quitting my $120k Manager job to become a Bookkeeper for five different small businesses just so I can have my freedom back. I’m tired of the board meetings and the 50-person email chains about nothing. I just want to reconcile some bank statements, file some sales tax, and be done by 2:00 PM. Is there a genuine market for high-level bookkeeping like this?

unfortunately bookkeeping is the most dead end path in the field at this point, considering it’ can essentially be 100% automated with ai , you’d be competing with off shore bookkeepers who would do it for a third you would , or just AI in general.

If you can actually get 5 small local businesses who would commit to you , i’d lock that up real quick and learn how to use claude efficiently and never look back
