Key Quotes

Accounting can get a little bit repetitive in certain areas. But e-commerce is so interesting because it’s constantly shifting. It’s constantly changing. We’re always learning new stuff.

Matt Remuzzi

For our staff, we’ve got to get it dialed in to the point where nobody can tear it apart and say, “hey, that’s wrong,” or “that didn’t work out,” or “that didn’t add up.” So learning how to do that, finding that data, putting it all together, and surviving that examination. That’s the part we’re really good at.

If you’re running a business, you wanna be profitable. Then the data is there to tell you how to do it.
