Annual budgeting and strategic planning
We work with ownership to build an annual operating budget grounded in realistic Colorado market assumptions — wholesale price trends, local tax changes, labor cost pressure and expected regulatory shifts — then check actual performance against that budget monthly so course corrections happen early rather than at year-end.
For operators weighing a new location, an additional license type, or a shift in product mix, we build the strategic case with real numbers: capital required, projected margin, break-even timeline and effect on your overall 280E-driven tax position.
Pricing and margin analysis
Wholesale cannabis prices in Colorado have compressed significantly since the market matured, and operators who don't actively manage pricing and cost structure watch margin erode without noticing until it shows up in a cash shortfall. We analyze your pricing by product category and location, benchmark it against margin targets, and identify where cost structure — not just price — needs to change.
Operational benchmarking
We track key operating metrics — revenue per square foot, cost per gram, labor cost as a percentage of revenue, yield by strain — against your own historical performance and against general industry benchmarks, giving ownership an objective read on where the business is actually performing well versus where it merely looks fine on the income statement.
