Calyx CPA works with clients to evaluate entity structures, ownership arrangements, and how activity flows across related entities - with an eye toward reducing tax exposure and positioning the business for growth.
Companies that invest in sound structure and accurate accounting are better positioned to raise capital, secure financing, and command a higher return when they sell.
What we evaluate
Entity Structure
The choice of entity - LLC, S-Corp, C-Corp, partnership - affects how income is taxed, how it flows to owners, and how the business looks to lenders and investors.
280E Positioning
Structure has a direct impact on 280E exposure. How activity is separated, how COGS is defined, and how entities relate to each other all affect the tax burden.
Ownership Arrangements
Ownership structure affects both tax liability and how distributions, equity, and obligations flow between founders, investors, and operators.
Multi-Entity Flow
Many cannabis and psychedelic businesses operate across multiple related entities. How those entities interact - and how income flows between them - is a significant lever for tax planning.
Capital Readiness
Investors and lenders evaluate structure as part of diligence. A well-structured business is easier to finance and commands more credibility at the table.
Exit Planning
Structure shapes what a business sale looks like - who pays what tax, how buyers acquire the entity, and what return owners actually realize.
