Enrico Palmerino is the Founder and CEO of Botkeeper, an AI-powered bookkeeping automation platform that helps accounting firms streamline and scale client accounting services. Under his leadership, Botkeeper developed Infinite, its core AI-powered platform for accounting firms, which was later acquired by Xendoo. Enrico leads Botkeeper's mission to help accounting professionals automate manual tasks, improve accuracy, and build more scalable practices. He previously co-owned SmartBooks and co-founded ThinkLite, and he also serves on the board of Fidelity Bank, has advised Geisel Software, and is an investor and advisor to several tech companies. In this episode… AI is transforming accounting, but the biggest shift is not just faster software - it is a new way for firms to serve clients, manage capacity, and stay competitive. As demand for bookkeeping rises and accounting talent becomes harder to find, how can firms use automation without sacrificing trust, accuracy, or control? Enrico Palmerino, a serial entrepreneur and accounting technology innovator, believes AI should help firms scale their expertise rather than replace it.
