ADVISORY
After the Exploration stage, a cannabis entrepreneur should have a detailed understanding of their business. Once an entrepreneur realizes their potential business could be profitable, planning needs to begin to take the company from an idea to a reality.
Strategy
At YCA, we work with Boards, executives, and management to develop robust corporate and business unit strategies. We work to help define the vision for the company today, tomorrow, and into the future.
We then help to create a structured plan to implement this vision, and to ensure alignment across the organization. A vision is only as good as its execution, and proper execution can only occur when the entire organization is rowing in the same direction, toward the same goal.
Transactional
Large transactions such as mergers, acquisitions, or spin-offs often require external assistance. Your employees are focused on their day-to-day responsibilities yet these transactions require a significant amount of time to be dedicated.
In addition, these transactions are often complex and require a special skillset that internal employees often don’t possess.

The first difference you will notice when you engage Accounting Buds is that our experienced advisors are on the ground working with you every step of the way.
Our advisors have been involved in cannabis for many years, and typically have more experience than our bigger name competitors (that are just getting involved in cannabis!). And at our big name competitors, the experienced individuals will spend little to no time directly involved in your engagement. The day to day work will be mainly completed by junior employees with significantly less experience.
Our senior advisors are all client facing and are expected to work directly with clients on a daily basis!
We know what you are thinking, senior advisors working on the engagement on a daily basis must drive up the price….but that is actually untrue! Because we are a smaller firm, with significantly less overhead, we run lean.
This translates into a significantly lower price point for our clients. Many times our clients are shocked to find that the rates we charge for our senior advisors with 15-20+ years of experience is half of what bigger name firms charge for junior advisors with less than 5 years of experience!
Traditional management consulting firms help you to define the strategic solution and your future path. We here at Your Chief Advisors do the same.
But we don’t stop there! We continue to work with you as a partner through the implementation stage to ensure your execution goes smoothly!
