Cannabis is the #1 growing industry in America, and as such the demand for accounting professionals to help financially manage this type of business has skyrocketed. This is because there are a number of unique and complex accounting challenges that companies in this field must overcome in order to be successful. As such, very few accounting professionals are qualified to take on this type of work.

My company, DOPE CFO, provides the education and tools for accountants and financial professionals to enter and succeed in the lucrative cannabis industry (https://www.dopecfo.com/in-the-press). Anyone who is an experienced CPA, CFO, Bookkeeper, Controller or tax professional will find that our “plug and play” solution will allow them to quickly build or grow a successful Cannabis Accounting Firm.
