Cannabis Solutions


Cannabis companies face unique accounting challenges, including IRS Section 280E, nonuniform state regulations, and a host of financial hurdles, from cash management to reluctant bankers and investors. Many growing cannabis companies lack the expertise to design and implement appropriate accounting and financial reporting systems, and many more lack the proper financial technology necessary in a dynamic and growing industry. Cannabis entrepreneurs need the support of an accounting firm knowledgeable of the regulations and expert in the financial practices critical to the survival and success of a cannabis business. We were among the first accounting firms to specialize in the cannabis industry and have worked beside entrepreneurs in all industry segments—cultivators, processors, retailers—from single facility to multi-location and vertical operations.
