The worst moment in an operator's year is discovering in March what they owe for the year that already ended.

The worst moment in a cannabis operator's year is discovering in March what they owe for the year that already ended. Projections eliminate that.

What's Included

✓Quarterly projections — federal and state liability

Why This Differs In Cannabis

The gap between book income and taxable income is enormous here and moves with your cost allocation. An operator looking at a healthy P&L can owe far more than that statement suggests. Projecting from book income without the 280E adjustment produces a number that is not just imprecise — it is structurally wrong in one direction.

A healthy P&L can hide a liability that ends the business.
