Cannabis Business Advisory

Advice grounded in your actual position rather than a general framework.

Ongoing strategic counsel from people who already have your financials in front of them โ€” which means advice grounded in your actual position rather than a general framework.

โœ“Strategic review โ€” regular sessions on where the business is going
โœ“Expansion analysis โ€” new markets, new licenses, new locations
โœ“Entity structure โ€” evaluated as the business changes
โœ“Capital strategy โ€” and timing
โœ“Exit planning โ€” and readiness
โœ“Between-session access โ€” for decisions as they arise

Why This Differs In Cannabis

Strategic decisions in cannabis carry tax consequences that dominate the analysis. Whether to add a cultivation license, how to structure a second location, whether to bring processing in-house โ€” each of these changes your 280E position, sometimes dramatically. An advisor who treats tax as a downstream consideration will recommend things that look right operationally and cost you badly.

Frequently Asked

How is this different from part-time CFO?

Advisory is periodic and strategic. Part-time CFO is embedded and operational. Some clients use both.

How often do we meet?

Typically monthly or quarterly.

Do we need to be an accounting client?

It works better if we are, but it is not required.
