Applying for your provisional cannabis license is the (very important) first step.

From building a business plan to finding partners, you must set the stage for success.

And then, once you’re open for business, you must also ensure you’re profitable and in compliance with local and federal regulations.

Whether you’re an experienced business owner or are new to the game, navigating the complexities of the cannabis industry can be overwhelming.


You need higher-level cannabis accounting services.

Hi, we’re Accounting for Green!

Your cannabis accounting just got easier. With deep expertise in the cannabis space, we help businesses just like yours navigate the complexities of the industry and reporting requirements.

Founded by Monique Swansen, we focus on handling the books and forecasting so you can focus on cultivating, extracting, and dispensing the green.

What Clients are Saying

“Accounting for Green is at the pinnacle of cannabis accounting. Before hiring them, we tried working with a regular bookkeeper — and our books just weren’t cannabis compliant. Monique and her team are extremely diligent with systems and processes which simplifies our day-to-day ops, and they’ve really pushed our business to be more efficient — their systems save us so much time and energy. We are excited to continue recommending Accounting for Green — we love working with them!”

Peter Fernandes

Founder, New Leaf

“Monique and her team take care of all our accounting/bookkeeping needs remotely with efficiency and affordability, eliminating the need for an in-house employee. They are quick to respond and resolve issues with accounting, bookkeeping, and payroll. The team has come to know and understand our business and preferences over the last 10 years. They make the process seamless for those without a financial background, and I recommend them wholeheartedly.”

John O’Connell

President, PhotoMachining, Inc.

“As a cannabis accounting pro, Monique is an exceptional partner for East Coast Cannabis. Before we hired Accounting for Green, I spent countless hours trying to manage our books and navigate cannabis regulations. And I wish we had brought her team in earlier. Their insight and guidance keep us organized and better financially managed, and they have valuable cannabis tax and business knowledge in addition to their great bookkeeping services. I highly recommend their services.”
