Green Growth CPAs

What Green Growth CPAs does

Green Growth CPAs Inc. is a privately held, full-service Certified Public Accounting firm founded in 2014 and headquartered in Los Angeles, California. The firm delivers accounting and financial services, audit and assurance (including IPO Services, Public Company audits, and SOC audits), and tax planning and compliance (federal, state and local, individual, and tax controversy) to clients primarily across regulated and complex verticals: cannabis operators (across 13 US states), K-12 school districts, governmental organizations, real estate, technology, life sciences and biotech, nonprofits, professional services firms, high net worth individuals, and payroll employee organizations (PEOs). Cannabis is the primary vertical with dedicated state-specific service pages addressing 280E, Section 471 COGS, multi-state licensing, and state excise-tax regimes.

The firm is built on an industry-specialization model rather than a proprietary technology platform. Its core "technology" is in-house domain expertise — accumulated across 1,500+ client engagements and 65+ years of combined team experience — deployed via direct client engagement from eight US offices (Los Angeles, Irvine, San Rafael, West Hollywood, Las Vegas, Sinton TX, New York) and a European headquarters in Belgrade, Serbia. Service delivery uses industry-standard accounting software, cloud collaboration tools, and a Soraban-powered client portal (new-app.soraban.com); there is no proprietary software product. Demand generation runs through 13 state-specific cannabis landing pages, "The Green Margin Podcast" on YouTube, dense content marketing, and active organic social channels that funnel prospects into free initial consultations and HubSpot-scheduled engagements.

Revenue is generated through billable professional services fees — per-engagement for projects and recurring annual retainers for audit, tax compliance, and outsourced CFO/advisory work — on a sales-led, consultative go-to-market motion. Pricing is not publicly disclosed but clients describe the firm as a "high-quality firm for a reasonable price." The firm is independently owned with no disclosed institutional investor, no parent company, and no subsidiaries. In January 2026, Green Growth CPAs was appointed as the new independent auditor of publicly traded The Glimpse Group, replacing Turner, Stone & Company, marking a notable step into public-company audit work.

Broad incumbents

• Andersen (Andersen Global): A global tax and advisory firm with strong US domestic and international footprints across HNW, real estate, and entity structuring. Competes with GreenGrowth in HNW individual tax, real-estate entity structuring, and international tax planning engagements.
• Marcum LLP: A top-15 US accounting firm with one of the largest dedicated cannabis services practices, plus strong governmental, nonprofit, and HNW practices. Competes with GreenGrowth in cannabis audit/tax and in governmental/school-district engagements where both firms hold state-specific expertise.
• CliftonLarsonAllen (CLA): A mid-tier national CPA firm with significant governmental and nonprofit audit practices and a fast-growing life-sciences offering. Directly competes with GreenGrowth in school-district Yellow Book/GASB and nonprofit Form 990 engagements.
• Withum: A mid-tier national CPA firm with an established cannabis, technology, and life-sciences practice including audit and IPO-readiness services — overlapping with GreenGrowth across cannabis accounting, tech audit, and outsourced CFO, but at a much larger firm scale.
• CohnReznick: A top-20 US advisory and accounting firm with dedicated cannabis, real estate, and governmental practices. Competes with GreenGrowth for cannabis operators and real-estate clients seeking regulated-vertical specialists with audit and advisory capability.
• K·Coe Isom (KCOE & Co): A national advisory and accounting firm with deep food, agriculture, and cannabis industry practices. Larger and broader than GreenGrowth but competes head-to-head for cannabis and ag-adjacent tax, audit, and advisory work and serves similar regulated-operator customers.
• KPMG Cannabis Industry Practice: Big-Four practice dedicated to cannabis operators and investors, with deep audit, tax, and IPO-readiness capability. Represents the structural risk case for GreenGrowth: a well-capitalized incumbent that could compress the firm's pricing power on larger cannabis audit engagements.

Emerging players

• GreenWave Advisors: A smaller cannabis-focused accounting and advisory firm providing 280E planning, CFO services, and licensing support — comparable to GreenGrowth on customer base and core service lines, but a smaller emerging competitor in the same niche.

Direct peers

• CannabisCPAs (formerly Marijuana Business CPAs / DopeCFO): A long-standing cannabis-only CPA and CFO advisory firm focused on 280E tax planning, multi-state compliance, and outsourced CFO services for cannabis operators — directly comparable to GreenGrowth's cannabis vertical in customer base, service mix, and go-to-market.
• Leaf 405 Dispensary Permits & Accounting: A cannabis-focused CPA and consulting firm offering accounting, tax, licensing support, and CFO services primarily to California and multi-state cannabis operators — closely comparable to GreenGrowth's cannabis practice on services, customer profile, and regulated-vertical specialization.
