DENVER, CO–(Marketwired – Mar 19, 2015) – Blue Line Protection Group, Inc.(OTCBB: BLPG) (OTCQB: BLPG), a leader in providing regulatory compliance, security consultation and protection services to high-value asset industries, today announced the formation of Blue Line Advisory Services, Inc., a wholly-owned subsidiary created to respond to the licensing and bookkeeping needs of lawful marijuana businesses across the nation.
Blue Line Advisory Services provides complete bookkeeping services tailored to the highly regulated cannabis industry. “This industry operates primarily through cash transactions, which doubles or triples the bookkeeping requirements of these businesses,” said Sean Campbell, Blue Line Protection Group’s Chief Executive Officer. “By consolidating these under our umbrella of cannabis due diligence services, we can ensure our clients are operating completely transparent businesses and are able to respond to all reporting requirements of state and federal licensing and regulatory agencies. This, in turn, provides a more economical solution for our clients.”
Blue Line Advisory Services will provide lawful marijuana businesses access to experienced bookkeepers and audit protection advisors. Its financial professionals, trained in the unique reporting requirements of cannabis businesses, minimize the burden of maintaining complex financial records.
“While serving our customers’ compliance needs, we quickly became aware that they were underserved by their existing bookkeeping services,” added Mr. Campbell. “Those services may have been fine in a normal business setting, but the nature and intricacies of the marijuana industry demands more precision and responsiveness. Blue Line Advisory Services fulfills that need.”
