We run your cannabis back office. It pays for itself, or we refund the difference.

We pay your vendors, recover your credits, and collect what stores owe you, all checked against Metrc. For dispensaries and the brands that supply them.

Real people. The state's own records. Your bank.

Handing someone your vendor money takes trust. Here's exactly who and what you're trusting.

Chris Mitchem, ShelfSpace founder

Chris Mitchem

Founder & CEO · cannabis operator since 2015

"I've run a dispensary's books myself, and I have the scars to prove it. Every account we take on, I stand behind personally."

ShelfSpace is built and run by operators, not a call center. If something about your account isn't right, you email me and it gets fixed.

A real person runs your account

Software does the typing. A person checks the work, and you approve every dollar before it moves.

Metrc

Certified Metrc third-party vendor

Every invoice is checked against Metrc, the same state records your compliance runs on. Vetted and approved by Metrc.

Your money stays in your bank

Vendor checks are drawn on your own account and signed by you. Stores pay brands straight into theirs. We never hold your funds.

What we find, every month

Across the dispensaries and brands we work with, the money hides in the same quiet corners — duplicate invoices, unfiled credits, invoices nobody chased. We find it, every month.

De-identified to protect our clients.

Frequently asked questions

What does this cost?

Your price is set by your monthly sales, never by how many invoices or payments you run. We quote it after your free review, so you see what you're owed before you see a price. See how the value adds up.

What if it doesn't pay for itself?

Then we refund the difference. If the credits we recover for a dispensary, or the past-due payments we collect for a brand, come to less than you paid us in the first 90 days, we pay back the gap.

How fast will I see results?

Day 1 we review your last 90 days for free. First credits are found within 14 days, we're paying your vendors within 30, and the whole AP desk is running within 60.

Do you replace my buyer or bookkeeper?

No. Your buyer keeps product and vendor relationships. Your bookkeeper keeps close, payroll, tax, and 280E. We take the invoice and payment work off their plates and keep QuickBooks current, so their month-end gets faster.

Do you only work in Massachusetts?

No. We work in every state with Metrc. Massachusetts was first, with 50+ vendors already paid through ShelfSpace there.
