Crypto & Digital Asset Accounting

Crypto and digital asset accounting under current US GAAP and IFRS guidance.

Overview

What we deliver

We design policies, reconcile wallets, and produce audit-ready records for crypto holdings, transactions, and disclosures.

We help finance teams account for digital assets, including stablecoins, native tokens, NFTs, and staking rewards. Our work follows current US GAAP guidance, including ASU 2023-08 fair value measurement for in-scope crypto assets, and IFRS treatment under IAS 38 or IAS 2 depending on facts and circumstances. We reconcile wallets, exchange accounts, and custody platforms to the general ledger and build cost basis tracking across lots and chains. We document policies for impairment, fair value remeasurement, derecognition, and revenue from staking, mining, or token sales. We coordinate tax workpapers for IRS, HMRC, CRA, and ATO reporting, including capital gains, income classification, and information returns. We produce disclosure drafts for SEC filings and private audits and document internal controls over private keys, signatories, and treasury workflows. We train accounting teams on transaction tagging and month-end procedures.

Client stories

What clients say

"

Holiday season was about to break us. We needed 22 agents in six weeks and our internal hiring pipeline could not move that fast. They staffed it, trained on our tone guide, and ran nesting alongside our senior reps. CSAT actually went up by three points during peak. First Q4 in four years my support lead took her vacation.

Our old site was a Frankenstein of three previous agencies. We gave them a hard launch date tied to a trade show and they actually hit it. 47 templates, full product catalog migration, no broken redirects on go-live day. Our previous vendor missed the same deadline twice. This time my phone stayed quiet on launch morning.
