Green Bits: Helping Cannabis Retailers Stay CompliantWith Liz Goldcannabizcpa.pro at cpatrendlines.comAfter selling his former company, Outright, to GoDaddy in 2012, Ben Curren stayed at the company for a year and then started considering what he would do next. After listening to cannabis-related news and realizing the inventory problems that were emerging due to compliance, Curren got excited to tackle some of the issues plaguing many cannabis dispensaries. As a result, he jumped into the cannabis industry, leveraging his skills and background as an engineer at QuickBooks to create a new technology to help legal cannabis retailers stay compliant.Founded in 2014, headquartered in San Jose, Calif., with another office in Portland, Ore., Green Bits serves more than 1,000 cannabis retailers across 13 states and processes more than $2.7 billion in sales annually through its point-of-sale platform.
