  • Maintain clean aging reports and provide weekly A/R status updates to management.
  • Coordinate with the dispensary team to ensure POS sales data reconciles with daily cash deposits.
Accounts Payable

  • Maintain vendor records, W-9s, and 1099 documentation; manage year-end 1099 filings.
  • Reconcile vendor statements and resolve billing disputes with professionalism.
  • Track and code all expenses to the correct entity, department, and cost center.

  • Partner with the cultivation team to reconcile harvest yields, transfer records, and METRC manifest data against financial records.
  • Coordinate with dispensary operations to ensure inventory receipts and wholesale purchase orders match A/P invoices.
  • Flag variances between physical inventory counts and financial records; work cross‑functionally to resolve root causes.

  • Proficiency in Quick Books, Sage, or comparable accounting software; strong Excel skills.
  • Experience in cannabis, retail, manufacturing, or distribution — environments with high transaction volume and inventory complexity.
  • Familiarity with METRC or cannabis seed‑to‑sale tracking systems a meaningful plus.
  • Strong reconciliation skills – you find the dollar that’s off and you don’t stop until you know why.
  • Comfortable working in a cash‑intensive business with the discretion and controls that requires.
  • Collaborative communicator who can translate financial details clearly for non‑finance teammates.
  • Highly organized, self‑directed, and deadline‑driven with zero tolerance for your own errors.
  • Associate’s or Bachelor’s degree in Accounting, Finance, or Business preferred.
What We Offer
  • Competitive salary commensurate with experience.
