At Minnesota Cannabis Services, we’re not just building businesses — we’re building the people who make them great. Our team partners with leading operators across cultivation, manufacturing, distribution, and retail to deliver world-class expertise in legal, finance, analytics, marketing, HR, and technology.

You will oversee all accounting operations, financial reporting, and internal controls, ensuring accuracy, compliance, and strategic insight across the company’s diverse portfolio of retail, cultivation, and manufacturing entities.

This role is ideal for a finance leader with a deep understanding of GAAP accounting, multi-entity consolidations, and cash flow management who thrives in a fast-paced, high-growth environment.

You will report directly to the Director of Finance and partner closely with the CEO, COO, and Department Heads to provide financial leadership and operational transparency that drives performance and strategic decision-making.

  • Maintain internal controls, accounting policies, and standard operating procedures to ensure financial integrity.
  • Partner with executive leadership to provide accurate forecasts, variance analyses, and KPI dashboards.
  • Manage cash flow, working capital, and debt service obligations, ensuring liquidity and compliance with lending covenants.
  • Oversee state and local compliance including tax filings, cannabis-specific accounting regulations, and audits.
  • Lead annual budget development and oversee ongoing forecasting across business units.
  • Collaborate with cross-functional teams on system implementations (ERP, POS, HRIS, and BI tools).
  • Coach and develop accounting team members for accuracy, efficiency, and professional growth.
  • Partner with external auditors, tax professionals, and banking institutions.

You are a highly analytical and dependable financial professional who demonstrates integrity, precision, and accountability in everything you do. You thrive on competition and continuous improvement—driving efficiency through innovation, technology, and disciplined financial management. You hold yourself to the highest professional standards and value teamwork, transparency, and long-term success.
