Angela L’Esperance
Angela is the owner of Ms. Jane Accounting, a cannabis accounting firm with a focus on social equity. She has over 17 years of experience in accounting and tax. She began her first business when she was twenty-one while attending college full time. And she quickly realized that people get into being a business owner to do what they love, not to handle the back-end bookkeeping, accounting, and tax work. When she realized this same gap in the cannabis industry, she transitioned into the cannabis space.
