A LEGACY WORTH BUILDING
Building Clarity for a Complex Industry
I founded Zen Options in 2026 in Erwinville, Louisiana, to provide online financial consulting for the hemp and cannabis industry. I specialize in IRC Section 280E and 471 compliance, personalized consultations, chakra and essential oil wellness guidance, and AI training for accounting professionals. My goal is to build a trusted, industry-focused resource that helps business owners confidently navigate complex federal tax regulations while supporting long-term growth. Take the next step and reach out today.
Quality and Purpose Behind Every Offering
Every service I offer at Zen Options is centered on what hemp and cannabis businesses actually need: accurate IRC Section 280E and Section 471 compliance consulting, structured AI training designed for real accounting workflows, and wellness guidance through chakra and essential oil consultations. Precision guides every aspect of my work because the regulatory environment surrounding cannabis taxation leaves no room for generalization or guesswork. Clients receive focused guidance grounded in my current academic studies and professional knowledge.
The Experience That Makes This Work Credible
My professional background spans multiple industries, including years of experience as a paralegal, administrative assistant, IT specialist, HR manager, and refinery and plant worker. That breadth of real-world experience shapes how I approach every client relationship—with practicality, attention to detail, and a clear understanding of what it takes to operate a successful business. As a Black-owned, female-owned practice, Zen Options reflects my commitment to continued growth while I pursue my Louisiana CPA designation, with an anticipated completion date of 2030.
Elle, Your Zen Options Advisor
I am Elle, a 62 year old Black grandmother and founder of Zen Options, based in Erwinville. I study for my Master's in Accounting and I am working toward my future CPA license in Louisiana. Before Zen Options, I worked as a paralegal, administrative assistant, refinery and plant worker, IT specialist, and HR manager, so I know what long shifts and tight deadlines feel like. Now I focus on hemp and cannabis tax rules, AI tools, chakras, and essential oils, guiding clients with calm, plain language. I want every visit with me to feel like sitting at a kitchen table, where you can ask anything without shame.
