Bookkeeping is essential for operating a profitable e-commerce business because it helps owners organize and access their finances, plan an annual budget, and understand their financial health. And while it may be cost-effective to do your own bookkeeping, not having thorough accounting knowledge could cause your company to lose money. So how can entrepreneurs manage their company’s finances like an accounting professional?

Regardless of the method used to log company spending, business owners should habitually review their financial records on a monthly basis. This allows for monthly comparisons and identifying areas where additional spending or cuts may be beneficial. Jason Snider, a certified accountant, recommends using a reliable accounting system such as A2X to accurately track the cost of goods and other data input. Another method for properly managing company funds is implementing a Profit First system. This accounting strategy aims to help small businesses improve their cash flow and profitability by setting aside a percentage of revenue as profit before paying expenses.

In today’s episode of the eComm Breakthrough Podcast, Josh Hadley welcomes Jason Snider, Founder and CEO of Aspyr Advisors, to discuss innovative e-commerce bookkeeping. Jason shares common bookkeeping mistakes, methodologies for tracking and reconciling the cost of goods, and expounds on the Profit First strategy and how to execute it.
