Serving Cannabis Operators Worldwide

Running several compliant operations, each under its own regulator, tax regime, and reporting calendar, multiplies both the work and the risk, and small inconsistencies have a way of surfacing at the worst possible moment, usually when a regulator or capital partner starts asking questions. Verdant works in that fragmented reality every day, building accounting and reporting systems that produce one consistent, defensible view of the business, no matter how many states, entities, or countries sit beneath it, so leadership can compare performance, plan tax, and answer to investors using the same set of numbers everywhere.

Our work covers the full financial picture, scaled for operators who don’t fit neatly inside a single state line. We help businesses consolidate reporting across entities, plan tax across jurisdictions, and build financial infrastructure sturdy enough to hold whether the next move is a new state or a new country.

Services include:

• Multi-entity and multi-jurisdiction accounting and consolidation
• Cross-border and international tax coordination, including 280E exposure for foreign-owned operators
• Fractional CFO leadership for operators scaling across markets
• Investor- and lender-ready financial reporting and due-diligence support
• Compliance and audit readiness across differing regulatory regimes
• Entity structuring and governance built for investment, expansion, or exit

Expansion has a way of exposing whatever your financial systems can’t yet handle. The moment a business adds a state, an entity, or a foreign partner, the gaps in its reporting and controls tend to show, and they’re far cheaper to fix before the move than after.

Verdant helps cannabis operators:

• See one consolidated picture across every entity, state, and country
• Meet the reporting and governance standards investors and lenders expect
• Plan tax across borders, including 280E and foreign-ownership exposure
• Stand up financial infrastructure quickly when entering a new market
• Hold compliance together across several regulatory regimes at once
• Structure the business for its next round of investment, expansion, or exit

Whether the next step is a second state, a first international partnership, or a clean set of books for a funding round, Verdant gives operators the financial leadership to take it with their eyes open.

Verdant Strategies is one of North America’s pioneering cannabis accounting firms. That foundation gives our team a depth of industry-specific experience that’s difficult to find, and an international perspective that matters more every year as legalization spreads and capital moves across borders.

With offices in Los Angeles, New York, and Nice, France, we’re positioned to support operators and investors on both sides of the Atlantic. As the European market matures, that cross-border expertise helps clients establish consistent accounting standards, plan tax thoughtfully across jurisdictions, and align governance with international capital expectations.

Cross-Border Tax & 280E Strategy

Section 280E shapes nearly every financial decision a U.S. cannabis operator makes, and the picture grows more complicated when foreign ownership, investment, or operations enter the equation. We help structure entities and plan tax to manage exposure across jurisdictions.

International Expansion Support

For operators and investors moving into new countries, we help build the financial infrastructure, reporting standards, controls, and forecasting, that international markets and capital partners expect.

Multi-Entity & Multi-Location Structuring

Growth across states and borders means more entities, more reporting, and more places for things to slip. We bring order to complex structures so leadership keeps a clear, consolidated view of the business.

The throughline is simple: better information, stronger systems, and advice from people who actually know this industry, so you can make your next decision, in any market, with confidence.

Wherever you operate, let’s build the financial foundation your business runs on.

Plenty of the operators and investors we work with don’t stop at the state line, or the national one. If your business spans foreign ownership, cross-border investment, or markets outside the U.S., our international team can help you navigate the added tax and reporting complexity that comes with it.

Cannabis operators don’t need a vendor who disappears after tax season. They need a financial partner who understands the industry, keeps the numbers honest, and is still in the room when the next big decision comes around. That’s the role Verdant plays for hundreds of operators nationwide, and it’s the standard we hold whether a client runs one shop or a dozen.

Wherever you operate in the U.S., we’d like to help you build a stronger financial foundation under it.
