Accountants who are in over their heads when it comes to Cannabis dispensary accounting can cost the business dearly simply because they don't know how to do the work properly. Dispensary CEOs and operators who rely on inexperienced accountants or accounting teams are unknowingly putting themselves at risk of hefty fines or even being shut down for not following IRC 280E. In Cannabis, the right accounting procedures need to be put in place on a daily, weekly, monthly, and annual basis. Consistent and correct accounting—not strategies to beat 280E—are what make the difference. In this podcast episode, DOPE CFO founder, Andrew Hunzicker, CPA, covers: Important tax codes and how to navigate them 471 - what it says, and how to correctly apply both GAAP and Tax, particularly for retailers Ideas for how to manage from an accounting viewpoint and “how to make it all work” Key court cases and what they mean for Cannabis companies Complex legal entity structures and other “games” to avoid ...and more!

Contractor Success Map with Randal DeHart | Contractor Bookkeeping And Accounting Services
This Podcast Is Episode Number 526, And It's About Becoming A Better Construction Company Owner By Developing Courage Fear is a natural, emotional response to distress. The evolution of humanity was dependent upon feeling and responding to fear. Unfortunately, for some of us, fear is a stumbling block to unlocking our full potential and becoming great leaders. Fear can have a significant impact on business activities. If a business owner is afraid of taking risks or making decisions based on past negative experiences, it can hinder their success. It's important to remember that fear is often based on False Evidence Appearing Real or F.E.A.R. It's crucial to approach business decisions objectively and not let fear cloud judgment. By recognizing and addressing fear, business owners can make informed decisions that lead to success. The good news is that courage is like a muscle, and when you exercise courage, it often becomes more robust and more natural. Here are a handful of ways to overcome fear, find courage and become a better construction company owner. 1. Don't lose your sense of direction If you struggle to lead in your construction business or manage your employees, staying connected to your purpose for making your decisions is essential. If you lose your sense of direction, the people you are leading may begin to question your ability and authority. When giving instructions to someone you are charged with leading, be specific about what needs to be done and why. 2. Visualize all of the possible outcomes Visualizing a negative outcome may seem counter-intuitive to building courage; however, realizing that the worst that could happen is not fatal in most situations is incredibly beneficial. Conversely, visualizing a positive and prosperous outcome can give you the bravery to make risky choices and stand behind them occasionally. 3. Be willing to do what other leaders won't If you are surrounded by leaders who continually play it safe but are sensing a need to take the road less traveled and make a bold decision, be willing to do it! The fear of people around you disapproving of your choices can be crippling. But the sense of pride when you carefully calculate your options and make a bold choice that turns out well, will strengthen your sense of courage. 4. Carefully consider the opinions of people around you You don't need to allow yourself to be persuaded by the opinions of others in any way, but occasionally a new view from someone with less experience can bring new life into your construction business. Don't let your employee's inexperience cause you to overlook the great ideas they may occasionally have. Be willing to do things someone else's way occasionally bravely, and your courage will undoubtedly increase. 5. Be willing to commit to success Have the inner strength and courage to keep going even when things get tough because you know that everything will work out in the end; if something has not worked out yet, it is not the end. 6. Make the hard decision and say "no" As uncomfortable as it can be to shut down someone's idea, it is necessary sometimes. Next time someone has an opinion you are completely uncomfortable with, respond by telling them no. Often, no explanation is better than a long explanation when you disagree with a person's idea. As a leader, it is right to go with your gut instinct and override decisions you disagree with. Saying no to bad ideas will increase your courage and even the level of respect your employees have for you. As you can see, building courage is not a complicated process. Building courage is simply taking small steps in your daily life and being unapologetic about doing what you know is right. If you are willing to commit to taking the above steps as a leader, you will soon become more confident in your decisions! Many leaders struggle to feel courageous regardless of their time leading. Fear on all sides Contractors without financial reporting systems they can trust to generate accurate Key Performance Indicators and Reliable Job Cost Reports do not know if they are making or losing money from day to day, which leads to doubt which leads to stress, and they tend to work faster and harder. This frantic behavior raises everyone's stress level, affecting your team, project, and client. Contractors are superheroes! What is your Contractor Superpower? The power of choice. Increase your pricing Which projects do you say YES to Collect job deposits Ask the client for money Your working hours The area of the country where you want to live You can choose what is best for you, your loved ones, and your construction company. It is easy to listen to the news and become depressed, agitated, or think the day's challenges are hopeless to overcome. Mother Teresa (of Calcutta) said it best: We, the willing, led by the unknowing, are doing the impossible for the ungrateful. We have done so much, with so little, for so long; we are now qualified to do anything with nothing. Final thoughts The rough and tumble world of construction company ownership is not for the weak or the timid. It is an arena where the price of admission is a lot of blood, sweat, tears, long nights, and lost sleep, with peaks of enthusiasm and depths of despair. It can feel like riding a roller coaster operated by a madman trying to convince you to get off, get out and do something more relaxing, like teaching a pig to sing! With careful planning and a solid strategy, you can overcome any obstacles that come your way. Don't be afraid to take risks and think outside the box. Remember, the greatest successes often come from taking bold actions. So be brave, stay focused, and keep pushing forward. Your construction business dreams are within reach! Life is a journey that happens one day at a time, one decision at a time, one choice at a time. Tomorrow is a new day with every potential of being happier if we allow it. We will continue empowering and advocating for contractors and construction business owners like you.

Ghost card, virtual card, declining balance card, p-card and more. It's enough to make your head spin. Today, we're diving deep into the world of the many different types of corporate credit cards – at last count we had 10. To help reduce the confusion that some of our accounting, finance, treasury and accounts payable audience might have, Recharged Education's Lynn Larson is joining us to illuminate the topic. Accounts payable and accounting require the use of both accounts payable best practices and strong account payable internal controls. For many organizations, the review of expense reports and the requests for reimbursement of expenses, is handled in accounts payable. For the accounts payable process to work well, best practices for AP should be used. By their very nature, accounts payable best practices incorporate strong internal controls and avoid AP control weaknesses.

What would project proposal budgets look like if all near and long-term costs were included? Would projects be viable and approvable? How would investments, incentives, and subsidies be recalculated? Would the public approve and would such projects be feasible at all? RESCUE as an acronym offers a plan for specific action and public participation: Renewal, Environment, Society, Collaboration, Understanding, and Engagement.World Ocean Radio offers five-minute weekly insights that dive into ocean science, advocacy and education, hosted by Peter Neill, Director of the W2O, author, and lifelong ocean advocate.

Ani-May is almost over, but there's still room for one more episode! Melanie and Melvin discuss A Silent Voice, the popular Kyoto Animation project from 2016 about an elementary school bully who seeks amends during High School. The catch? He incessantly bullied a deaf girl, and must overcome his shame before he can apologize. Topics:(FREE PATREON EXCLUSIVE) 54-minutes reflecting upon Princess Mononoke, Neon Genesis Evangelion, and Puella Magi Madoka Magica while also discussing the recurrent themes of Ani-May: 'Self-Destruction by Evil Desire', 'Acceptance of Reality', and 'The Maturity of Growing' complete with biblical verses and theological discussion! (FREE PATREON EXCLUSIVE)Melanie was still processing A Silent Voice and verbalizes that something felt off, but she doesn't know what. The two explore what that may be.Melvin details what makes the original A Silent Voice One-Shot so great at exploring themes of bullying, shame, guilt, and the fear of reconciliation.Melvin then shares some thoughts on the Manga adaption, a seven-volume expansion on the original one-shot that goes in strange directions, never fully satisfying the promise of a complicated, mature teen romance.Melvin then discusses his thoughts on the movie which are wrapped in his thoughts on both the One-Shot and the Manga and how it may be one of the worst things he's ever seen.Accounting for cultural differences, Melanie, as a school teacher, was really upset with how the bullying was handled by the school staff to a fault.Melvin observes that Princess Mononoke, Neon Genesis Evangelion, and Puella Magi Madoka Magica permit an open-ended exploration of their complicated, mature themes. A Silent Voice, however, hand-holds so aggressively it almost bruises the knuckles.Unlike the Manga and especially the One-Shot, the fact that Nishimiya has such little screentime is stupendously felt.Recommendations:Your Name.

Contractor Success Map with Randal DeHart | Contractor Bookkeeping And Accounting Services
This Podcast Is Episode Number 525, And It's About Building A Competitive Advantage In The Construction Industry A competitive advantage is something that you offer or have that the competitor does not. There must be compelling reasons for people to do business with you rather than with other construction companies. The need to identify your point of difference is essential. The more similar your business is to many others, the greater your need to develop competitive advantages. The key to benefitting from the competition is knowing how to take on competitors so your company earns a profit effectively. Look into your industry and the successful contractors around you not to lose sight of your vision for your construction company but as an inspiration to guide your systems and processes. Identifying your advantage A competitive advantage is what you are better at doing than anyone else. The wiser you can be about developing and promoting your competitive advantage, the better placed your business will be to succeed. Think about how you can differentiate yourself: Low pricing – you're able to supply the most budget-friendly service. Specialization – you service a specific niche market better than anyone else. Differentiation – you have the same service as others, but you make it different. Specialization and differentiation are the most common small business strategies because more significant businesses can usually get bulk deals and compete on price. Being affordable is the most straightforward tactic to implement (reduce all your fees but know your worth), though this is the last thing to consider, as it is often a losing strategy. The chances that you can be the cheapest and survive are not good because you will usually compete against companies with far more financial muscle than you have. Having the most considerable margins is your ultimate goal. You can position yourself away from the cheap end of the market if you develop other competitive advantages, such as excellent, friendly service, good after-sales service, a more specialized range of products, more knowledgeable staff, and so on. Here are some ways to get ahead of your competition and grow your construction business: 1. Awesome staff Your staff will be one of your best (or worst) competitive advantages. The advantage of having friendly, knowledgeable, proactive staff must never be underestimated. The key is ensuring your staff is motivated, trained, and performing well. Do this by: Establishing clear performance standards. Starting incentive schemes. Sending them on training courses. Encouraging them to develop their product/service knowledge. Holding yearly selling courses. 2. Unique or exclusive products You have an advantage if you can source products or deliver services that the competition cannot. If you're competing against larger or similar businesses, can you establish a reputation for unique products people can't find anywhere else? 3. A great website A website that is more attractive or easier to navigate than competitors can be a distinct advantage. Can you create a better, more effortless online scheduling experience? More competitive payment options? 4. Become a star Your own image can be a competitive advantage. No one else has quite your mix of skills, and you can build a 'character owner' image by having your name on as much material as possible, including: A signed mission statement for online and in-person visitors. Signing your name at the end of all newsletters and correspondence. Offering personal guarantees. Becoming prominent in your community. Becoming an authority in your field and a spokesperson for the industry. 5. Brush up on your technical knowledge If you can't compete on price, offer superior knowledge to other businesses around you. Consequently, it would be best to ensure staff are well trained. You could ask your suppliers to provide training. 6. Get to know your suppliers Being on good terms with your suppliers and their sales representatives is an often-overlooked competitive advantage over other businesses that haven't bothered to develop this closeness. A good relationship will provide the following: Better service and support. Better supply and faster delivery. Better return policy and customer support. Early notification of specials or discounts. You might get promotional material, displays, signs, and staff training. Being linked to a large, well-known supplier is a definite competitive advantage. They might do most of the market research, develop new products, conduct customer analysis, and provide nationwide branding and advertising that enhances your credibility. An independent will find it more challenging to compete with you. 7. Display your other services To gain an advantage, offer things that the competitors don't, especially if they cost very little. Sometimes this may involve displaying what you already do for customers, but most may have been unaware of it. Don't simply expect customers to be automatically aware of your competitive advantages. You must advertise and promote them. 8. Strategic alliances and joint ventures One of the best ways to compete against larger businesses is to form alliances and joint ventures with other companies. For example, by banding together with other businesses in your industry, you can often gain better group discounts from suppliers than you would if you ordered on your own. The ability to form intelligent alliances and joint ventures is an increasingly essential and distinguishing feature in the success of many businesses. Joint venture marketing is another way of sharing advertising costs. You can brainstorm many variations on this theme with your staff. 9. Speed People want quick service, so the faster you can deliver your product or service, the better. Hold regular staff meetings on how to streamline your business processes and fulfill or exceed client requirements without sacrificing the quality of delivery. Final thoughts There's room enough in most industries for competition. While knowing who you're up against is a good idea, ultimately, your clients are your priority. Focus on providing meaningful goods and services to them, addressing their pain points, and improving their lives. Market yourself to make those aspects clear. Show them why you're the ideal company to hire for their project. Using these strategies can effectively take on the competition and help your construction business be successful. Take it one step further by hiring an expert to help you with the things you are not an expert on - for instance, hiring a Website/Social Media Manager to take care of your online presence, as this is your digital office. Of course, a financial advisor or a construction accountant who has been where you want to go and can guide you will benefit your construction business. We want to be that person for you. Optimize your time and skills by doing what you love and do best. About The Author: Sharie DeHart, QPA, co-founded Business Consulting And Accounting in Lynnwood, Washington. She is the leading expert in managing outsourced construction bookkeeping and accounting services companies and cash management accounting for small construction companies across the USA. She encourages Contractors and Construction Company Owners to stay current on their tax obligations and offers insights on managing the remaining cash flow to operate and grow their construction company sales and profits so they can put more money in the bank.

Indy Johar at Dark Matter Labs address some of our most pressing planetary needs and we talk about their work. This is a fascinating conversation where we touch upon objects, our relationships to them and how that is important to rethink bureaucracy to and allow it to harness our increased computational capacity. We also talk about ownership and for pathways towards custodianship, how we can orient towards letting life find a way, how work could be part of liberating us in the new paradigm, why direct redistribution is most likely not the path forward and why all of this fundamentally is an invitation to rethink what it means to be human. This is a mind blowing conversation. Enjoy! Host: Amit Paul
