If you’re wondering if you have what it takes to be a top-of-the-line, increasingly successful Cannabis accountant...spoiler alert...YOU PROBABLY ALREADY HAVE WHAT IT TAKES.
Are you responsive? Consistent? Creative? A go-getter?
Are you willing to continue learning and growing?
Yes, there are technical elements you need to succeed as a Cannabis accountant. Yes, workpapers, systems and processes, and software are all necessary, but those are all teachable.
What about the characteristics nobody talks about? The personal attributes that can lead to your greatness…
Your grit, determination, and problem solving skills. Your ability to make the system work FOR you.
These traits set you apart. These strengths will launch you into the ranks of Cannabis accountants with lucrative, thriving businesses and vast potential. There is no need to settle in as another run-of-the-mill professional, going through the motions, and never fully realizing their abilities.
Our latest podcast episode with DOPE CFO founder and CEO, Andrew Hunzicker, CPA, highlights the top five things Cannabis accountants get right.
Listen in for insights on:
📌 Cracking the code to finding clients: generating leads, or potential clients, and closing those clients is harder than it may seem (but dedicating yourself to LinkedIn and email outreach, and trying different techniques like email drip campaigns are just a few of the many ways Cannabis accountants garner top clients).
📌 Unlocking the ‘soft skills’ of success: soft skills include business management, discipline in studying new materials, time organization, and motivation to continually improve and add value to your clients (all of these skills and more could set you apart in the field, from learning a new niche to sticking with continued education to rise as an expert in Cannabis).
📌 Leveraging niche-specific tools and processes to add huge value: the value you add is only as good as the tools, systems, education, and processes you leverage to provide that top-notch service to your clients (and possessing these tools is the best way you can go above and beyond what your competition will be offering potential high-paying clients).
These tools and training, combined with your innate skills, can take your career to the next level in one of the fastest growing marketplaces in the world.
