What operators say

Feedback from the cannabis operators we work with.

My reps were spending half their week on order entry instead of selling. That stopped in the first month.
MSO VP of Sales
We opened four new stores last year and never had to add to our inventory management team. That saved us $100k.
Retail CEO
Our past due went from $1M to $250k in the first month.
MSO Head of Accounting
I budgeted a full quarter for onboarding. They had us running in two weeks.
MSO Head of Accounting
I can finally see which campaigns actually drive revenue. We cut what wasn't working and email is up 22% since.
Retail Email Marketing Lead
Best decision we made all year. It put about $200k back on our bottom line.
Manufacturer Founder
The HQ team knew our stack from day one and was working inside our systems that first week.

They handle the grunt work, we close deals.

FAQ

Frequently asked questions

How Headquarters engagements work: scope, pricing, onboarding, and where we fit next to your team.

What does Headquarters do?

Headquarters runs the back office for cannabis brands and retailers: Sales Ops, Accounts Receivable, Finance & Accounting, 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.

What is cannabis back-office outsourcing?

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.

Who does Headquarters work with?

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.

How is Headquarters different from hiring in-house or using a staffing agency?

Headquarters differs from a staffing agency in three ways. 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. And the math works: no salaries, payroll taxes, benefits, or laptops. Operators typically save 30–50% versus internal headcount. For a full finance stack, that's roughly $425K a year (see the F&A breakdown).

What platforms does Headquarters work in?

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.

Do we have to hand over everything, or can we start with one service?

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.

Will Headquarters replace my team?

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.

How does pricing work?

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.

How long does onboarding take?

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.

How do you keep our data secure and confidential?

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.

Where is the Headquarters team based?

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.

How do we get started?
