With the legalization of recreational Cannabis happening quickly for many states, and the influx of new businesses that have followed, it’s no surprise that investors far and wide have wanted to get a piece of these startup companies. Investors will supply much-needed early capital and strategic advice in exchange for a sizable return on their investment later on.

Accountants play a vital role in raising capital for Cannabis companies by keeping the books organized and clean, and communicating with investors to ensure that deadlines are met and the business is profitable.

On this episode of The Cannabis Accounting Podcast, Andrew Hunzicker, CPA sits down with Jordan Tritt, CEO and co-founder of The Panther Group, an investor and Cannabis company network, to provide perspective on what Cannabis investors are looking for and what Cannabis accountants can expect when helping their clients raise funds.

Major keys investors are looking for in potential Cannabis businesses: gain critical insight from an active investor in the space on what investors are looking for in a potential Canabis company, from airtight financials to execution and projections
