Rolling 13-week forecasting
We maintain a weekly cash forecast covering receipts, vendor payments, payroll, marijuana retail tax remittances, CAT installments, debt service and estimated federal payments. Updated weekly, it converts vague anxiety into a specific date on which a specific problem arrives — early enough to solve it.
Funding the tax reserve
The most common failure we see in Oregon is an operator who spent the money the IRS was going to want. We set a reserve percentage based on your actual 280E-adjusted effective rate and move funds on a schedule, so April is an administrative event rather than a crisis.
Seasonality and the outdoor harvest cycle
Southern Oregon and Willamette Valley outdoor producers spend capital for most of the year and realize revenue in a compressed window after harvest. We build the model around that shape — pre-harvest working capital, post-harvest wholesale timing, and the price risk of selling into an oversupplied fall market.
Cash controls in a cash business
Deposit procedures, dual custody, till limits, armored transport scheduling and reconciliation routines protect both the money and the people handling it, and they produce the audit trail your banking relationship expects to see.
