HeadQuarters outsources operational execution—sales ops, finance, logistics, and marketing—for cannabis operators. The stack (SAP, NetSuite, QuickBooks, Python, Airflow, SQL) paired with heavy finance hiring (12 finance roles vs. 2 engineering) and a roadmap focused on payroll automation, AP process improvement, and financial reporting accuracy reveals a company scaling finance and accounting operations as a service.
