Cannabis Business Minds is where I share what I've learned about running excellent cannabis books: clean bookkeeping, tight cash and inventory controls, defensible COGS, and tax strategy that keeps more money in the business. There are 139 guides here, written for operators and for the bookkeepers, controllers and CPAs who serve them.

Keeping things accurate
Cannabis rules change quickly, especially around 280E after the 2026 rescheduling. Articles that discuss 280E carry a dated update, and I revise core guides as the IRS, Treasury and DEA act. Spot something out of date? Email simone@freedomsun.co.
