About Highway Horticulture

Highway Horticulture is a vertically integrated cannabis company operating in Michigan. We manage every stage of the product lifecycle: we cultivate cannabis plants at our grow facility, manufacture them into a range of wholesale products at our processing facility, and sell directly to consumers through our retail store. That end-to-end model gives our team a distinct, complete view of how a cannabis business runs, from seed to sale.

Position Summary

We are looking for a detail-oriented Staff Accountant to join our finance team. Reporting to the CFO, you will own the day-to-day recording of transactions on both sides of the business: accounts payable (vendor bills and payments) and accounts receivable (sales invoices and cash receipts). This is an entry-level role and an excellent starting point for someone who wants to build a strong accounting foundation in a fast-growing, exciting industry.

Key Responsibilities

Accounts Payable

• Respond to vendor inquiries and keep vendor records current

Accounts Receivable

• Prepare and record sales invoices for wholesale customers
• Record daily retail sales and cash receipts, including deposits from our retail store
• Apply customer payments to the correct invoices and follow up on past-due balances
• Maintain accurate customer account records

General Accounting Support

• Assist with bank and account reconciliations
• Support month-end close by preparing schedules and entries as assigned
• Help maintain the complete, audit-ready records required in a regulated industry

Qualifications

• Bachelor’s degree in accounting, finance, or a related field, or equivalent coursework or experience
• Working knowledge of basic accounting principles, including debits and credits
• Strong attention to detail and a commitment to accuracy
• Comfort with Excel or Google Sheets

• Ability to work independently and manage your time in a remote setting
• Current Michigan resident
• At least 21 years of age

Preferred

• 0–5 years of accounting, bookkeeping, or internship experience
• Experience with accounting software such as QuickBooks, NetSuite, or similar
• Interest in the cannabis industry or in other regulated industries

Why Join Us

• See the full business at once: cultivation, manufacturing, wholesale, and retail, all under one roof
• Learn directly from the CFO and build a solid foundation for a career in accounting
• Work remotely, with a regular chance to connect with the team in person
• Grow alongside a company in a dynamic, expanding industry
