About Our Founder

Kirkor Shaghoyan, CPA, CMA is a licensed accounting professional with deep, hands-on experience advising cannabis operators across every stage of growth, from pre-license startups to established, multi-entity businesses operating in highly regulated state markets.

Kirkor specializes exclusively in the financial realities of the cannabis industry, including 280E tax exposure, entity structuring, cost accounting, cash-intensive operations, and state-level compliance. He works directly with dispensaries, cultivators, manufacturers, and ancillary operators to help them stay audit-ready, reduce unnecessary tax burden, and build financial systems that hold up under regulatory scrutiny.

As both a Certified Public Accountant (CPA) and Certified Management Accountant (CMA), Kirkor brings a rare blend of technical tax expertise and operational finance insight. His approach goes beyond basic bookkeeping, helping cannabis business owners understand their numbers, make defensible decisions, and plan proactively in an industry where rules change quickly and mistakes are costly.

Known for clear communication and practical guidance, Kirkor serves as a long-term financial partner to licensed operators who need more than compliance—they need clarity, confidence, and a strategy for sustainable growth in the ever-evolving cannabis economy.
