Cannabis Biz Tough – Lawyers – CPA’s

Cannabis Biz Tough – Lawyers – CPA’s …its time to cut the crap, end the self-aggrandizement and refocus on working jointly to put commercial cannabis businesses FIRST. Sometimes we lose sight of the reality that without clients that assume entrepreneurial risk in a chaotic business every day we would all have nothing to do. Collectively, we seem to have lost sight of the reality that if they don’t succeed that WE FAIL AS WELL.

(i) the lead advisor of choice and that you need to follow their guidelines for selecting an accountant [never mind if they don’t understand the difference between a CPA with MS-Taxation vs. an Enrolled Agent or a bookkeeper that isn’t required to have ANY verifiable education or experience whatsoever or

(ii) they are seeking to stir un anxiety,  and fear about who should represent a taxpayer in an audit lets the sky fall in on them

Well, that isn’t how it works and we have a real treat for the gentlemen that wrote the original pieces. Both of them are accomplished, very capable attorneys which are all the more reason to take them to task for producing such abhorrent material. How many of you saw this
