Cannabis / Multi-State Operators

Fractional CFO for Cannabis & Multi-State Operators

The cannabis industry demands a CFO who has actually done this work — not one learning on your timeline and your budget.

I served as Chief Financial Officer for Justice Grown, a multi-state cannabis operator with a potential nine-figure enterprise value. I directed all financial operations across multiple state regulatory environments and secured $75.5M in debt financing from a publicly listed cannabis REIT to fund dispensary and cultivation expansion in Pennsylvania and New Jersey. The financial models I built became the definitive basis for lender underwriting.

Cannabis businesses face a specific set of challenges that most CFOs have never encountered:

• Multi-state regulatory compliance with inconsistent state-by-state reporting requirements

• Limited access to traditional banking and capital markets

• 280E tax exposure that distorts standard financial analysis

• Institutional lenders who require rigorous, credible financial modeling before committing capital

• Rapid operational scaling across new state markets

I have operated inside all of these challenges at the CFO level — not as an outside advisor reading about them.

What I provide for cannabis operators:

• Debt and equity capital raising — institutional and private

• Multi-state financial operations and reporting

• Budgeting, forecasting, and cash management

• Financial modeling for lender and investor due diligence

• Exit readiness and M&A support

• Interim, project, and fractional CFO engagements

Whether you are preparing for a capital raise, entering a new state market, navigating a restructuring, or preparing for a sale, I bring transaction-tested CFO leadership to your team — without the cost or commitment of a full-time executive.
