DENVER, CO--(Marketwired - May 26, 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 hiring of financial services professional Robin Swinney to its Blue Line Advisory Services team. Created to respond to the licensing and bookkeeping needs of lawful marijuana businesses across the nation, Blue Line Advisory Services is a wholly-owned subsidiary of Blue Line Protection Group.

"We're pleased to have Robin bring her wealth of experience to Blue Line," said Sean Campbell, Blue Line Protection Group's Chief Executive Officer. "Not only do our clients face never-ending revisions to complicated regulations, but they have the incredible burden and time pressure of counting and re-counting cash and accounting for its movements. Robin's expertise will help ensure our clients are able to respond to all reporting requirements of state and federal licensing and regulatory agencies."

Ms. Swinney founded Park Pointe Financial Services in 2004 to respond to the needs of talented entrepreneurs with great business ideas who had no time or experience to manage the financial aspects of running their businesses. Since then, Ms. Swinney has become a respected professional in providing services specifically tailored to the lawful cannabis industry, and Park Pointe Financial has grown into a family operated business with offices in both Park City, Utah and Boulder, Colorado.

"Our Park Pointe clients will now be serviced by Blue Line Advisory Services bookkeeping professionals," said Ms. Swinney. "With Blue Line as the established authority on protection and compliance services for the marijuana industry, we can leverage that nationwide name recognition and provide our clients with industry-specific, economical bookkeeping and audit protection solutions."

"I've worked with Robin for the past five years, developing and fine-tuning systems and processes to enable these lawful businesses to operate responsibly and transparently," said Jim Marty, prominent cannabis industry CPA who sits on Blue Line Advisory Services' board of directors. "This new collaboration is a win-win for the entire marijuana industry."

"The nature and intricacies of the marijuana industry demand more precision and responsiveness," added Ms. Swinney. "Normal book keepers and their services may have been fine in a normal business setting, but Blue Line Advisory Services financial professionals are trained in the unique reporting requirements of cannabis businesses and minimize the burden of maintaining complex financial records."

Blue Line Advisory Services' team of financial and accounting professionals offer:

• Licensing and insurance administration and compliance
• Bank activity reconciliation
• Daily point-of-sale system validation
• Payables and receivables organization and resolution
• Payroll and time sheet entry, correction and validation

• Reconciliation of checking, merchant processing accounts and company-held credit-cards
• Bi-weekly point-of-sale reports and after-hours backups
• Expense accounts and quarterly reports
• Reconciliation of whole-chart accounts
• ... and much more.

"By combining the protection and compliance services of Blue Line Protection Group with the financial expertise of the professionals at Blue Line Advisory Services," added Mr. Campbell, "we can help our clients respond to the due diligence requirements as stated in the Cole Memo, FinCEN and BSA regulations to help them form strong, trusted and lasting relationships with banks."
