Lead readiness for external audits, lender reporting, and internal governance reviews.
Ensure the month‑end close is accurate, well‑documented, and consistently prepared—even when execution is delegated.

Own multi‑entity consolidations, intercompany eliminations, and legal entity reporting.
Deliver accurate monthly, quarterly, and annual consolidated financial statements.
Standardize reporting packages for the Board and senior leadership.

Ensure compliance with state and federal regulations, including excise tax, payroll, sales/use tax, and cannabis‑specific regulatory reporting.
Maintain governance over inventory accuracy and costing within a METRC‑governed environment.
Oversee risk management processes with Legal, HR, Operations, and Compliance.
Accounting Operations
Oversee AP, AR, payroll, inventory, fixed assets, and general ledger functions.
Implement and maintain accounting policies, procedures, and internal controls across all entities.
Drive continuous improvement to streamline processes, accelerate the close cycle, and enhance financial accuracy.
Manage working capital processes, including cash management, vendor payment strategy, collections, and treasury coordination.
Audit, Tax & External Advisor Leadership
Serve as primary point of contact for auditors, tax advisors, valuation firms, and consultants.
Oversee PBC list preparation and maintain year‑round audit readiness.
Support cannabis‑specific tax compliance, including excise tax, METRC‑linked reporting, and 280E considerations (as applicable).
Strengthen accounting systems in partnership with IT and Finance.
Ensure subledger‑to‑GL integrity across ERP and seed‑to‑sale platforms.
Build scalable, automated processes that reduce manual work and improve data quality.
Lead, mentor, and develop a high‑performing accounting team across multiple locations.
Establish clear performance expectations, responsibilities, and accountability mechanisms.
Collaborate with Operations, Supply Chain, Commercial, HR, and Compliance to ensure financial data accuracy and inventory integrity.
Strategic Support
Partner with the CFO on budgeting, forecasting, cash management, investor reporting, and strategic planning.
Provide analytics on unit economics, margin performance, KPIs, and financial trends.
Support M&A activity, including due diligence, integration, and purchase accounting.
Assist with lender compliance, covenant reporting, audits, and capital‑raising activities.
Qualifications
10+ years of progressive accounting leadership in multi‑entity, inventory‑heavy environments
