The Joint Dispensary operates across cultivation and retail — two distinct cannabis businesses that run on tight margins, precise inventory, and cash-based transactions. We need an A/R & A/P Specialist who understands that numbers tell a story and who takes pride in making sure every invoice, payment, and reconciliation is exactly right.
The Role
This is a dual-function accounting role sitting at the intersection of finance, operations, and inventory. You'll manage money coming in from wholesale and retail channels and money going out to vendors, cultivators, and suppliers — while working closely with our cultivation team and management across both entities. Attention to detail, collaborative instincts, and comfort in a cannabis-specific cash environment are non-negotiable.
What You'll Own
Accounts Receivable
- Generate and issue accurate invoices to wholesale buyers and retail partners on time, every time.
- Track outstanding balances, follow up on past-due accounts, and manage collections professionally.
- Reconcile customer payments against invoices; post receipts and resolve discrepancies quickly.
- Maintain clean aging reports and provide weekly A/R status updates to management.
- Coordinate with the dispensary team to ensure POS sales data reconciles with daily cash deposits.
Accounts Payable
- Process vendor invoices accurately and route for approval in accordance with internal controls.
- Schedule and execute payments — check, ACH, and cash — while optimizing payment timing for cash flow.
- Maintain vendor records, W-9s, and 1099 documentation; manage year-end 1099 filings.
- Reconcile vendor statements and resolve billing disputes with professionalism.
- Track and code all expenses to the correct entity, department, and cost center.
Inventory & Operations Collaboration
- Partner with the cultivation team to reconcile harvest yields, transfer records, and METRC manifest data against financial records.
- Coordinate with dispensary operations to ensure inventory receipts and wholesale purchase orders match A/P invoices.
- Flag variances between physical inventory counts and financial records; work cross-functionally to resolve root causes.
- Support monthly close by providing accurate A/R and A/P subledger data to the accounting team.
- Assist with cannabis excise tax and state fee tracking as it relates to purchases and sales.
Reporting & Process
- Maintain organized, audit-ready financial records across both entities.
- Prepare weekly cash flow summaries for ownership and management.
- Identify process inefficiencies and recommend improvements to billing, payment, and reconciliation workflows.
- Support the external CPA firm during tax season, audits, and financial reviews.
What We're Looking For
- 2–3+ years of A/R and/or A/P experience; full-cycle experience in both functions strongly preferred.
- Proficiency in QuickBooks, Sage, or comparable accounting software; strong Excel skills.
- Experience in cannabis, retail, manufacturing, or distribution — environments with high transaction volume and inventory complexity.
- Familiarity with METRC or cannabis seed-to-sale tracking systems a meaningful plus.
- Strong reconciliation skills — you find the dollar that's off and you don't stop until you know why.
- Comfortable working in a cash-intensive business with the discretion and controls that requires.
- Collaborative communicator who can translate financial details clearly for non-finance teammates.
- Highly organized, self-directed, and deadline-driven with zero tolerance for your own errors.
- Associate's or Bachelor's degree in Accounting, Finance, or Business preferred.
What We Offer
- Competitive salary commensurate with experience.
- Health, dental, and vision benefits.
- Employee discount across The Joint's product lineup.
- Direct visibility to ownership and leadership — your work drives real business decisions.
- A front-row seat to cannabis operations across cultivation and retail in a growing multi-entity company.
If the numbers are always right because of you, you'll fit right in.
