DOPE CFO

DOPE CFO is not a client-facing accounting firm but a training and certification company that teaches accountants, bookkeepers and CFOs how to build cannabis, CBD and hemp accounting practices. Its curriculum covers cannabis-specific bookkeeping, IRC Section 280E tax strategy, CFO-level advisory skills, inventory/COGS methodology, and practice-development/marketing guidance, with an alumni network of DOPE CFO-certified advisors operating across the US. Founder Andrew Hunzicker, CPA, brings 30+ years of accounting and tax experience, including a Big Four background at PwC.

The company is based in Bend, Oregon, and is privately owned/led by Hunzicker; it does not itself file client tax returns but instead licenses/certifies independent practitioners nationwide under the DOPE CFO brand. Founding date is not published on-site, though the founder's cannabis-accounting focus and training content date to the mid-2010s.
