Hello!
I am a WA based virtual bookkeeper who works with small businesses in a few industries, including cannabis — and honestly, cannabis operators deal with a level of financial complexity that many business owners never have to think about.
Banking alone is its own part-time job. Then you get into 280E, state compliance reporting, seed-to-sale reconciliation, or inventory accounting across multiple license types. The list goes on!
I am curious what's actually causing the most headaches for people in this community. Is it the tax burden? The banking situation? Finding professionals who actually know cannabis — not just general accountants who've read one article about 280E?
I also want to know what your tech stack looks like and what is working and what isn’t, and how someone like me could provide a solution. Genuinely asking because it varies a lot by operator type.
Thank you!
