In this episode of Mastering eCommerce Marketing, host Eitan Koter sits down with Arthur Glinkin, Co-Founder of SNG Bookkeeping, to talk about something every online brand needs but few truly understand, getting your books right from day one.
Arthur shares how he went from selling newspapers as a teen to building a bookkeeping firm focused entirely on eCommerce brands. He explains why messy books can cost you big when it comes to funding, exits, or tax season, and why tools like QuickBooks Online and TaxJar are non-negotiable for keeping things clean and compliant.
They discuss common mistakes brands make, how to actually understand your profit and loss, and what to track if you want real clarity on cash flow. Arthur also covers how software can simplify complex sales tax rules across states and how eCommerce owners can use data to make smarter decisions.
If you have ever wondered whether your numbers are telling the real story of your business, this episode is worth a listen.
