Senior Financial Leadership Without the Full Time Cost

Most cannabis businesses reach a point where basic accounting is not enough, but hiring a full time CFO does not make sense.

As your Fractional CFO, I step into your leadership team to:

Improve cash flow and margins
Reduce tax drag under IRC 280E
Strengthen financial controls and compliance
Support expansion, capital raises, and exits

Chronic Consulting offers ongoing CFO level leadership that is practical, proactive, and tailored to your operation.
