Cannabis Compliance Consulting
Obligations from three directions at once. The financial side of all of them lands in the same place — your books.
Cannabis operators face compliance obligations from three directions at once: federal tax law that treats them as traffickers, state regulators who can suspend a license, and local jurisdictions with their own conditions. The financial side of all three lands in the same place — your books.
We build the recordkeeping and control structures that satisfy all of it simultaneously, so you are not maintaining three versions of the truth.
What's Included
Why This Differs In Cannabis
Most industries treat compliance recordkeeping and tax recordkeeping as separate exercises. In cannabis they are the same records viewed by different readers — and a seed-to-sale system that does not reconcile cleanly to your general ledger is simultaneously a state licensing problem and an IRS documentation problem. Building both from one source of truth is the only approach that scales.
One source of truth, two very different readers.

Frequently Asked
We are already licensed and operating. Is this still relevant?
Especially then. Most gaps we find are in businesses that have been running for years without a structured review.
Do you handle non-financial compliance?
We focus on the financial and recordkeeping side. For operational and regulatory compliance we can refer you to specialists.
How long does an assessment take?
Usually two to three weeks.
