Why tie-outs matter
Cannabis operators often rely on several systems to tell one financial story. When POS, inventory, bank, and QBO or GL records disagree, leaders lose confidence in margins, cash, and close results.
Where gaps usually show up
Common gaps include deposits that do not match sales summaries, inventory adjustments without clear accounting treatment, COGS entries without support, or old clearing balances that never get resolved.
A practical review path
Start with the bank, reconcile sales and deposits, compare POS activity to accounting entries, review inventory movement, and document the items that need advisor input.
The goal
The goal is not a perfect dashboard on day one. The goal is a repeatable close process and records that make better questions possible.
