Accounting Buds

I was thrilled to meet Rick LaNeve, founder and CEO of Accounting Buds at the NECANN New Jersey Business event in Atlantic City. In this exclusive interview for Highly Capitalized Network-HCN, I had the opportunity to chat with Rick to talk about his journey in cannabis, his impressions of the NECANN event, and what’s next for Accounting Buds. Rick shares how he got started at a small cannabis event years ago looking for new clients to help. After realizing the cannabis industry needed some help running their businesses, Rick began to identify additional consulting services to offer, including security, HR, funding and advisory services. Buds Group now encompasses Accounting Buds and a host of additional services and Rick feels that compliance and audits will be a huge area of growth in the coming years.

Great insights! #6 is probably the most important, since even if you are successful to start, if you aren't prepared for the inevitable downturn (every state experiences it), your success will be short lived! https://lnkd.in/egSNwt4A
