Why specialization matters here
A capable general practitioner can produce accurate financial statements for almost any business. Cannabis is the exception, because the tax result is driven by inventory costing rules most accountants rarely touch and by a statute — Section 280E — that changes what a deduction even means. Add Oregon's own layers, from the 17% retail tax to the Corporate Activity Tax to the state subtraction for federally disallowed expenses, and the margin for error narrows considerably.
Working only in this industry means we are not learning your rules on your time. We already know how a Southern Oregon outdoor harvest behaves in a cash forecast and what an examiner asks a Portland dispensary about its cost of goods sold.
How we work
Engagements begin with a diagnostic: license structure, current books, open filings, costing method and any active notices. From there we set a close calendar, a documentation standard and a tax projection cadence, and we hold to them. Clients hear from us monthly with numbers and quarterly with decisions to make.
We say no to positions we cannot defend. An aggressive number that collapses under examination costs more than the tax it briefly avoided, and in an industry where licensing standing depends partly on tax compliance, that risk is not abstract.
Who we serve
Serving OLCC-licensed cannabis businesses across Oregon — Portland, Salem, Eugene, Bend, Medford, Hillsboro, Beaverton, Gresham, Corvallis, Springfield, Albany, Tigard, Lake Oswego and Ashland.
Clients range from single-location retailers to vertically integrated groups holding production, processing and retail licenses. The common thread is a need for books that support a defensible tax position and a decision-grade view of the business.
