Part-Time CFO
When a business outgrows bookkeeping but is not ready for a full-time CFO who understands this industry — assuming one is even available in your market.
At some point a cannabis business outgrows bookkeeping and needs someone thinking about capital structure, expansion economics, and what the numbers mean — but is not ready to pay for a full-time CFO who understands this industry, assuming one is even available in your market.
What's Included
Why This Differs In Cannabis
A CFO who does not know this industry will make defensible decisions that turn out badly — recommending a structure that increases 280E exposure, modeling an expansion without accounting for the real tax burden, or approaching lenders who do not serve cannabis. The industry-specific knowledge is not a bonus here, it is the qualification.
Industry knowledge is not a bonus in this role. It is the qualification.

Frequently Asked
How much time?
Typically a few days a month, scaled to your needs.
When do we need this?
Usually around multi-location expansion, a capital raise, or when the owner is spending more time on finance than operations.
Can this replace our bookkeeper?
No — it sits above bookkeeping. We do both, coordinated.
