Scale your cannabis operations without scaling your headcount

Headquarters runs the back office for cannabis brands and retailers: Sales Support, Accounts Receivable, Finance & Accounting, Staffing, Data Management, and Marketing execution. Your team stays on selling and growing. We handle order entry, collections, month-end close, inventory and menu data, and the reporting that keeps it all visible.

Cannabis back-office outsourcing means handing the administrative work of running a cannabis business (order entry, collections, bookkeeping, catalog data) to a dedicated outside team instead of hiring for each seat. Done right, that team works inside your existing platforms and processes, so the output looks the same but costs less and doesn't call in sick. That's the model Headquarters was built on.

Cannabis operators of every license type: brands, distributors, manufacturers, and retailers. Headquarters supports over 40 operators, including Kiva Confections, Eaze, 710 Labs, Nabis, Ascend Wellness Holdings, Embarc Dispensaries, and Verano.

Hiring in-house means recruiting, training, and covering for one person at a time, then paying salary, payroll taxes, benefits, and equipment on top. A staffing agency fills the seat, but that person is still yours to train and manage. Headquarters works differently. We only work in cannabis, so 280E, seed-to-sale reconciliation, and platform quirks are daily work rather than a learning curve. You get a coordinated team instead of a single hire, so coverage doesn't disappear when someone is out. Operators save an average of 40% on roles filled by HQ. For a full finance stack, that's roughly $425K a year (see the F&A breakdown).

Headquarters works inside the platforms cannabis operators already use: LeafTrade, LeafLink, Distru, Nabis, Treez, IHeartJane, QuickBooks Online, Microsoft Dynamics, Hoodie, and Headset, among others. We work in your systems, not around them.

Start wherever the pain is worst. Most clients begin with a single service line, usually AR, order entry, or bookkeeping, and expand once the results show up. Nothing requires you to take the full platform.

No. Headquarters extends your team. Your people keep the relationships and the strategy; we take the repetitive, error-prone work that eats their week. A rep spends time closing instead of keying orders. A controller spends time forecasting instead of chasing invoices.

Headquarters pricing is a flat monthly fee scoped to the workflows we take on, not a one-size-fits-all retainer. Talk to us and we'll scope it against what the same coverage would cost you in headcount.

Most workflows go live in two to four weeks, sometimes sooner. Our team already knows the cannabis platforms and the workflows that run on them, so there's no ramp-up on tooling. Deeper integrations take longer, and onboarding includes a data audit so we're building on clean inputs.

Every engagement starts with an NDA, and the work happens inside your own systems under permissions you control. You grant the access, you can see everything we do, and you can revoke it at any time. Headquarters doesn't move your data into tools you can't see.

Headquarters runs out of Los Angeles, with operations teams in Mexico and Serbia. Coverage is structured around US business hours, so work keeps moving no matter which time zone your operation runs in.

Talk to the Team and book a time that works. We'll look at your current workflows, show you what Headquarters would take over, and put a scope and a price on it.
