“Who authorized this spend?”
It’s the monthly question every cannabis finance leader dreads. Another invoice hits your inbox—no approval, no visibility, just another unwelcome surprise.
Sound familiar?
This isn’t just annoying—it’s silently sabotaging your margins.
⚠️ The Hidden Pain of Separate Finance and Procurement
When finance and procurement operate as isolated silos, chaos is inevitable:
- Surprise invoices: Procurement spends without finance knowing.
- Duplicate orders: Multiple teams buying identical supplies without coordination.
- Zero real-time visibility: Finance discovers spend only after the money’s gone.
- Month-end misery: Endless hours of tracking down approvals and reconciling surprises.
It’s not just a nuisance—it’s costing you thousands every single month.
✅ The Game-Changer: Finance + Procurement Together
Leading cannabis operators are shifting the narrative. They realize procurement decisions are inherently financial decisions:
- Every purchase impacts margins.
- Every approval affects cash flow.
- Every supplier choice influences profitability.
When finance and procurement join forces, you instantly gain:
- Real-time budget visibility: Finance sees spending as it happens.
- Clear approvals: Procurement knows exactly what’s authorized before money leaves.
- Proactive spend control: Stop rogue purchases before they drain your margin.
📈 From Chaos to Control: Real Results of Merging
When you merge finance and procurement into one aligned function, the transformation is immediate:
- Month-end closes in days—not weeks.
- Zero surprises at invoice time.
- Instant margin improvement from eliminating duplicate and unauthorized spending.
- Strategic spend optimization that boosts profitability.
This isn’t theory—it’s happening right now for cannabis operators who choose visibility over chaos.
