Cannabis CPA Tax is a practice area of the Andersen CPA Firm, a blending of a traditional CPA firm with cannabis-specific expertise. Through our affiliations with strong professional organizations, we continue to build on our expertise to assure you have a high-level resource at your service.

Our work in the cannabis space since 2006 and our multi-state practice have led to national recognition. Bruce is a founding member of the National Association of Cannabis Accountants and Tax Professionals. The organization provides training and education to CPAs, EAs, and bookkeepers across the U.S. In 2023, NACAT was nominated as a finalist for an EMJAY International Cannabis Award in the category of Accounting Firm of the Year.

Our recent involvement with The Cannabis Chamber of Commerce is yet another strong link to the industry. The Cannabis Chamber of Commerce was created to support the growth and development of businesses that serve the regulated cannabis industry by offering a meaningful trade association that offers resources at the local level and a unified voice on the national stage. We are proud to be a member of this community.

We presented for the California Society of CPAs on a variety of cannabis topics. Our advice is sought nationwide. We stay abreast of developments in the CPA and ever-evolving cannabis tax space so that we can stay at the top of our game. 2022 presentations include myLawCLE.
