Given the implications of Section 280E, dispensaries frequently operate with narrow profit margins or may even incur losses after taxation. By establishing strong financial records, your business can develop and implement strategies to enhance profitability.

Distinct Challenges Demand Tailored Solutions

In a predominantly cash-based industry, how can a business successfully transition to a cashless environment? Your financial records are essential for understanding your operations, identifying cash management challenges (such as theft or loss), and ensuring compliance with the regulations of the states in which you operate. By effectively managing and documenting your financial data, you can navigate these challenges and secure the future of your business.
