Cash flow forecasting in a 280E-taxed business
Because federal tax is calculated on gross profit rather than net income, a Colorado cannabis business can be profitable on paper and still face a federal tax bill that consumes cash the business doesn't have on hand. We build rolling 13-week and annual cash flow forecasts that explicitly model your 280E-driven effective tax rate, so tax payments never come as a surprise that forces a scramble for financing.
Capital raise and lender support
Whether you're raising from private investors, negotiating with a cannabis-tolerant lender, or bringing in a strategic partner, we prepare the financial package a serious capital source expects: normalized financials, a defensible 280E and COGS methodology, unit economics by license type, and projections that a diligence team can pressure-test without finding holes.
License expansion and new-market modeling
Adding a Cultivation Facility to an existing retail operation, applying for a Marijuana Hospitality license, or expanding into a new Colorado market like Pueblo, Grand Junction or Fort Collins each carries different capital requirements, build-out timelines and break-even math. We model the specific economics of each opportunity before you commit capital or sign a lease.
Board and investor reporting
For operators with outside investors or a formal board, we prepare recurring reporting packages that translate cannabis-specific operating metrics — cost per gram, revenue per square foot, yield by strain, effective tax rate — into the language a financial stakeholder expects, alongside standard GAAP-basis statements.
Board-ready reporting for Colorado license holders
Whether you're preparing for a raise, a license transfer application, or an annual MED renewal, we package your financials into board- and lender-ready reporting that speaks to both cannabis-specific metrics — cost per gram, yield per square foot, effective 280E tax rate — and standard GAAP measures investors expect.
