Lower Taxes for Cannabis touching entities

Our 15+ years of experience, expertise, and knowledge allows us to implement legal and legitimate tax-saving strategies for cannabis and CBD companies. These strategies may include GAAP accounting for growers and processors that enable it to allocate additional deductions to Cost of Goods Sold (their only deduction). It may also include strategic acquisition costs to allocate to Cost of Goods Sold that others may not know of or know how to facilitate for retail, as well as a system for deducting non-cannabis general and administrative expenses. These expert strategies save our cannabis clients thousands and thousands of dollars in taxes year after year.

Insulated Protection For State & Federal Tax Audits

Our proprietary and detailed accounting work papers are designed to protect you in the event of a tax audit. In our § 280E analysis work papers, we document the nature of why we are allocating something to Cost of Goods Sold that makes it deductible; the supporting documentation is cross-referenced (e.g., payroll reports, floor plans, etc.), and all of our formulaic computations are included. We also have tremendously detailed GAAP work papers and absorption accounting work papers. Our high caliber of work, thoroughly documented work papers, and GAAP accounting, affords us more credibility in a tax audit. When we attain this credibility in a tax audit, we are able to be more persuasive in our arguments, exceptionally meritorious for grey areas of tax law.

Exit Planning Strategies

An exit strategy is a vital consideration for business owners, however, it is often overlooked until substantial changes are necessary. In the absence of planning an exit strategy that informs the appropriate business direction, entrepreneurs risk limiting their future options. To ensure the best outcome for your business, one must plan their exit strategy before it is time to leave. Whether you keep or sell your business, a well-executed transition strategy can enable your business and family to flourish for generations to come. Our strategies afford you the advice that has helped so many other business owners succeed during this phase. An exit strategy provides a business owner a way to reduce or liquidate their stake in a business and, if the business is successful, make a substantial profit. If the business is not successful, an exit strategy--a plan--allows the entrepreneur to limit losses.
