New York Cannabis Accountants
280E strategy, state tax filings, and accounting built for New York’s licensed operators — from a firm that does cannabis and nothing else.
Adult-use & medical.
New York is the biggest East Coast prize and has had the bumpiest rollout — licensing litigation, an entrenched unlicensed market, and rules that have already been rewritten once. Operators here need an accountant who tracks the changes as they happen.
Cannabis Taxes In New York
New York scrapped its original THC-potency tax and replaced it with a wholesale excise plus a substantial retail-level cannabis tax split between state and local shares. That mid-stream redesign is exactly why we describe structures rather than memorize rates — and why our New York clients get updates when Albany moves.
Tax rates and rules change frequently — we confirm current requirements before every filing.
Tracking & Compliance
New York's track-and-trace runs on BioTrack under OCM. With enforcement against unlicensed sellers ramping, licensed operators' clean records are becoming a competitive asset, not just a requirement.
What We Do For New York Operators
Frequently Asked
Do you work with New York cannabis businesses remotely?
Yes — most of our New York clients work with us remotely, with on-site visits arranged where the engagement calls for it. Cannabis accounting is document- and systems-driven; geography is not a barrier.
Do you know New York's specific rules?
We serve licensed operators in 30+ states, and state-specific tax structures, tracking requirements, and filing calendars are exactly what a multi-state cannabis practice maintains. New York is one of the markets we track continuously.
The rules keep changing — how do you keep up?
Tracking regulatory change in active markets is part of the engagement. New York clients get notified when tax or reporting rules move, before the filing deadline, not after.
