Many accountants will not work with smoke shops, convenience stores, CBD shops, and other businesses that are not licensed. Provided you are on a path to getting licensed, we are happy to work with you to get your inventory tracking systems online, point-of-sale systems, banking, cash flow, payroll, and sales tax.
