"Shaping an Industry and Advocating for Change": "This is a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity to build and shape one of the largest industries in the country. And it has far-reaching aspects beyond just the plant and, you know, rescheduling the plant, de-scheduling the plant, but there's a social equity component tied to it."
Today’s episode is going to be a blast because we’ve got the amazing Naomi Granger with us. Naomi is a total rockstar in the world of cannabis accounting and taxation. She’s the brains behind the National Association of Cannabis Accounting and Tax Professionals and Green Leaf CFO, and she’s super passionate about helping tax pros navigate the tricky waters of the cannabis industry.
We’re diving deep into Naomi’s story—from growing up in the wild casino world of Las Vegas to crushing it as a top accountant. She’ll share her transition from the corporate grind to becoming a go-to expert in cannabis tax codes. Plus, she'll give us the lowdown on her game-changing training program, "Calculating Cannabis," and why mentorship and self-growth are key to making it big in your career.
Naomi’s got some fascinating insights into the future of accounting, her push for social equity in the cannabis world, and how she wants to leave a legacy of financial literacy and successful businesses.
