Inheriting a Cannabis cultivation client with messy books is like being handed a puzzle with missing pieces. No cost accounting, misallocated expenses, and inventory tracking disconnected from financial systems - these challenges can make even experienced accountants question where to start.

When growers focus solely on their plants and neglect proper accounting, the resulting financial chaos not only creates tax compliance risks but prevents them from understanding their true costs and profitability.
