Industries
Cannabis Accounting by Arizona License Type
A dual-licensed dispensary, a cultivation site and an ADHS-certified testing facility share a regulator and almost nothing else financially. Cost structure, inventory rules and tax exposure differ by license, and so does the accounting we build.
Industries we serve
Dispensaries
Dual-licensed retail counters with heavy cash volume and the tightest reseller COGS position under 280E.
Cultivators
Producers running long grow cycles with substantial climate-control cost and the strongest 280E capitalization position.
Manufacturers
Extraction and infusion operators where yield allocation and conversion costing set the true unit economics.
Processors
Edibles and topicals production runs where contract-processing terms and throughput drive the numbers.
Distributors
Intra-license transfer and wholesale operations with thin margins and heavy receivables exposure.
Delivery Services
Non-storefront and transport operations where driver labor and order size determine whether volume is actually profitable.
Testing Laboratories
Capital-intensive service labs with a materially different tax profile than plant-touching license holders.
Cannabis Brands
Asset-light labels whose cost base sits almost entirely in the categories 280E won't allow.
Ancillary Businesses
Non-plant-touching vendors serving the industry who generally fall outside Section 280E.
Multi-State Operators
Consolidated groups that need one close calendar, one intercompany policy and coordinated multi-state tax positions.
