Industries
Cannabis Accounting by Colorado License Type
A dispensary, a cultivator and a testing laboratory share a regulator and almost nothing else financially. Cost structure, inventory rules and tax exposure differ by license, and so does the accounting we build.
Industries we serve
Dispensaries
Retail and medical marijuana store accounting built around 280E, METRC unit reconciliation and daily point-of-sale close.
Cultivators
Cultivation facility accounting that turns grow-room activity into a defensible IRC 471 cost of production for the excise average market rate and federal return.
Manufacturers
Cost accounting for extraction and concentrate manufacturers turning flower and trim into oil, distillate and vape inputs.
Infused Product Manufacturers
Recipe and batch costing for edibles, beverage and topical manufacturers navigating multi-ingredient bills of materials.
Transporters
Accounting for licensed Transporters that move product between MED-licensed premises without ever taking title to it.
Testing Laboratories
Accounting for licensed Testing Facilities running potency and contaminant screening, with lab-equipment costing and non-280E revenue treatment.
Cannabis Brands
Accounting for licensed brands and white-label product lines that contract manufacturing and distribution through partner facilities.
Ancillary Businesses
Accounting for non-plant-touching vendors — equipment, packaging, software and consulting firms — serving the licensed Colorado cannabis industry.
Multi-State Operators
Consolidated accounting and tax strategy for multi-state cannabis groups with Colorado operations alongside licenses in other states.
