I've been preparing to mentor a much bigger audience in 2023 and have A LOT of knowledge to share around launching and growing your cannabis accounting practice.

There are 30,000+ legally licensed cannabis businesses in operation today throughout the United States. Cannabis is the largest and fastest growing industry in the world. Many businesses need accounting professionals who specialize in this under-served area. This is because proper accounting for a cannabis business is unlike accounting for any other industry, due to its complex compliance issues, banking laws, tax limitations and reporting requirements.

My company, the National Association of Cannabis Accounting and Tax Professionals (NACAT Pros), provides an accelerated online program that makes accounting professionals experts in this niche. My program is open to CPAs, CFOs, Bookkeepers, Controllers and tax professionals who not only want to specialize in this area, but choose the clients they want, charge competitive fees, and work remotely. With our program, our students can open their own accounting firms and specialize in this one lucrative area.

NACAT Pros is a “plug and play” solution, providing videos, workpapers, templates, processes, resources, weekly Q&A calls, tax law instruction (including how to navigate the complex IRC Section 280e and 471 tax rules) and software recommendations.

We understand that marketing is not everybody’s forte, so we also teach people how to find and lock in clients in this industry. 

To learn more about how your accounting practice can fill this under-served market, connect with me here on LinkedIn or join the association at nacatpros.org.
