In this episode, I interview Simone, founder & host of the Cannabis Business Minds Podcast, a former auditor and current consultant in the financial industry. She shares her story about getting into cannabis accounting and how she helps accountants and cannabis customers navigate the industry. Many tips will translate into any type of accounting practice.

In this episode you’ll hear:

  • Freelance vs consulting

  • Interviewing business owners to learn their pain points
  • Changing the accounting industry
  • And more!
