ShelfSpace is a bookkeeper's best friend. Refer your dispensary clients and we run AP and AR — invoice processing, three-way matching, vendor payments, credit recovery, and collections — syncing clean entries to QuickBooks in real time. You keep the client relationship, close, reconciliations, payroll, tax prep, and 280E. Their books get easier, not harder.
The easiest way to think about ShelfSpace: we handle the payment-related work for your cannabis clients, retailer and brand alike.
What we don't touch: bookkeeping, month-end close, tax, 280E, or fractional CFO work. That stays yours — we complement your firm, we don't compete with it.
No overlap. No gray area. Cannabis AP and AR are the work you wish you didn't have to do, and we already do it for a living. Refer your clients — their books get easier, not harder.
AP eats 10–15 hours a week per cannabis client. Once your client moves AP to ShelfSpace, you serve more clients per hour and stop bottlenecking on invoice processing. The hours go back to close, advisory, and strategic work where your firm actually compounds value.
The platform syncs to QuickBooks in real time. Your close gets faster, not slower. No "where's the invoice for vendor X" emails. Bank rec lines up because the bills, bill payments, and settlements are already in QBO before you open the client file.
Cannabis AP is hard to defend at generalist hourly rates. Three-way matching across 40+ vendors, vendor portal management, credit memo reconciliation — this is dedicated infrastructure, not generalist accounting work. For firms already handling it by hand, we lift it off your plate; either way, it runs for less than billing it hourly — see how we work → You keep the close, the reporting, the strategic work.
Not sure if this fits? Schedule a call — we'll figure it out together.
No. The retailer signs with ShelfSpace for AP, but they stay your client for everything else — close, reconciliations, payroll, financial statements, tax preparation, 280E compliance, advisory work. ShelfSpace runs in parallel with your engagement, syncing clean entries to QuickBooks in real time so your close gets faster, not slower.
Talk to us — we work with several patterns (referral fee, white-label, co-branded). The right structure depends on your firm. We can also keep things simple: warm intro, your client onboards directly, you get a partner brief and a clean handoff.
We don't do close, bank reconciliation, payroll, financial statements, tax preparation, or 280E compliance. That's your work. If a client asks, we refer them back to you.
ShelfSpace pushes vendor bills, bill payments, and settlement entries into your client's QuickBooks Online via OAuth. You map vendors and GL accounts at setup, with per-vendor overrides where you need them. Daily Cleared sync keeps reconciliations clean. QuickBooks sync is part of the ShelfSpace engagement your client runs on — every engagement is custom and scoped in a consult, delivered as software your client drives or done for you. See the QBO integration overview for the full mapping.
Schedule a partner call with us first. We'll send you a one-page partner brief, a sample evaluation report, and talking points for the client conversation. Most introductions start with: "You've got AP eating my time — here's a partner I trust to run it."
15-minute call. We'll walk through the partnership, share the brief, and figure out whether your firm and ShelfSpace are a fit.
