Licensed Nevada cannabis operators only
Speak directly with a Nevada cannabis accounting specialist.
A boutique accounting and advisory practice built exclusively around licensed cannabis businesses in Nevada — 280E tax strategy, inventory-grade bookkeeping, METRC reconciliation, CFO advisory and audit defense, delivered by people who work in this industry every day, from the Las Vegas Strip to Reno and Elko.
Current advisory
Cannabis remains a Schedule I controlled substance under federal law, and IRC Section 280E still disallows ordinary business deductions for Nevada plant-touching licensees. If the pending federal rescheduling proposal is finalized, the operators who benefit first will be the ones whose cost accounting, entity structure and expense apportionment are already documented. We build that record now, so a change in federal treatment becomes a filing decision rather than a reconstruction project.
Review our 280E planning frameworkRegulatory & accounting frameworks
Our workpapers trace operational data back through Nevada Cannabis Compliance Board recordkeeping conditions and Department of Taxation excise filings for cultivators, production facilities, distributors, retailers and consumption lounges — an unbroken audit trail from METRC package to filed return.
Federal banking limits still push Nevada operators toward cash. We select and implement the accounting stack, dual-control cash counts, armored pickup logs and compliant banking relationships that a Las Vegas or Reno operator needs before volume becomes unmanageable.
Nevada levies no state income tax, so 280E is a purely federal problem — and an expensive one. We build inventory-grade cost accounting under sections 471 and 263A that isolates capitalizable production cost from disallowed selling and administrative expense.
