Jaime Lyn Soares
President
We understand small to mid-sized businesses,
start-ups and entrepreneurs from the inside out
Jaime Lyn Soares and Claire Burkard built High Times Accounting to help cannabis businesses be compliant with section 280e regarding accounting and record keeping. We help keep them informed financially and free up time to focus on day to day operations and beyond.
With over 40 years of professional bookkeeping experience, we have developed deep expertise in accounting, specifically in the areas of cannabis, accrual accounting, and general accounting along with many other industries. Opening High Times Accounting allowed us to combine our knowledge of cannabis accounting, specifically section 280e and the love of working with people.

We hired a staff of dedicated accounting professionals that understand sales tax audits for the cannabis industry specifically marijuana retail tax. Our team is ready to support your business during any upcoming marijuana retail sales tax audit. We are ready to support your business and help you follow the marijuana guidelines regarding detailed records and bookkeeping so you can focus on managing and building your business.

NICHOLE HUNT

What inspires you? I’m inspired by “straight-shooters.” The leaders that I work to emulate take ownership of tasks, both successes and mistakes, and who admit when they are wrong. Admitting fault, can be extremely difficult, so when I see it in my leaders, it inspires me to also have those traits in my interpersonal interactions.
What motivates you and how you contribute to customer experience? From a customer service standpoint, I’ve seen so many times when people get frustrated by a customer when they are asked a question they have already answered many times that day. I approach any customer service interaction with the mindset that while I may have been asked a question over 100 times that day, the individual in front of me at the moment, it is their first time asking. I will give them the same courtesy and attention as I gave to the first 100 people before.
