Camuso CPA provides accounting and tax services for Web3 operating companies, protocols, token projects, and venture-backed startups. The firm has worked exclusively in digital assets since 2016 and was the first CPA firm in the United States to accept cryptocurrency for professional services. Founders and finance leads work with us to build accounting systems from entity inception, evaluate the tax treatment of token events before they occur, correct books and filings that no longer reflect the business, and meet federal and multi-state obligations on records that support them.
Web3 companies operate on fact patterns that standard accounting and tax practice was not built around. Blockchain records show where assets moved but not the economic substance behind each movement. Token allocations at launch, staking and protocol revenue, treasury deployed across DeFi, founder and team wallet activity, and multi-entity structures spanning jurisdictions each require analysis of the company’s specific facts rather than the application of a standard template. Most firms have never encountered these questions, and the errors introduced early compound into every subsequent filing, financing, and diligence process.
Our engagements span the full lifecycle. We work with companies at formation, when entity structure and token positioning are still open and inexpensive to set correctly. We work with companies mid-flight, rebuilding books that no longer reconcile and correcting filings built on treatment that cannot be supported. And we work with companies scaling toward a launch, a raise, or an audit, where the accounting and the tax positions need to hold up under a counterparty’s review. Whether the immediate need is accounting, tax, or both, the work is built on documented analysis of your actual facts rather than software defaults.
Patrick Camuso’s work in digital asset taxation has been published in Tax Notes alongside a former head of the IRS Office of Digital Assets and co-author of the Section 6045 digital asset broker regulations, and has been covered by Bloomberg Tax, Accounting Today, Business Insider, MarketWatch, Morningstar and other major publications. He has spoken at ETHDenver and leading Web3 conferences on the structural shifts defining digital asset compliance.
Our Process: From Entity Assessment To Ongoing Advisory
Step 1: Entity Assessment & Exposure Review
This assessment reviews entity structure, token activity, existing books, and prior filings to identify gaps and exposure across both accounting and tax. Where decisions remain open, such as a pending token event or an unexecuted structural arrangement, those are flagged first. Engagement scope and methodology are defined at this stage.
Step 2: Accounting Foundation & Policy Design
We establish the accounting framework before entries are made. This includes written accounting policy covering token receipt, disposal, staking, and treasury activity, a chart of accounts designed around the company's actual operations, and a digital asset subledger integrated with the general ledger. Where books exist but cannot be relied on, historical activity is rebuilt and reconciled to on-chain data.
Step 3: Tax Planning & Compliance
With accounting integrity established, we document the tax treatment of token issuances, team allocations, protocol revenue, staking income, and related-party arrangements, then prepare federal and multi-state filings on those positions. Delinquent returns are brought current and prior filings corrected where the treatment is no longer supportable.
Step 4: Ongoing Advisory & Proactive Compliance
Forward-looking advisory addresses entity structure, token event positioning, cross-border and multi-entity arrangements, and the accounting and tax implications of decisions before they are made. Ongoing engagements include monthly or quarterly close, tax projections, and provisions on the cadence the business requires.

Web3 CPA FAQ
A Web3 CPA handles the accounting and tax fact patterns specific to companies that issue tokens, earn protocol revenue, or hold digital assets on the balance sheet. General accountants and standard software were built around businesses that do none of those things. Blockchain records show where assets moved but not the economic substance behind each movement, and the classification errors that follow compound into every subsequent filing, financing, and diligence process.
Venture-backed Web3 startups, protocol teams and foundations, token projects preparing for launch, DeFi companies, proprietary trading firms and market makers, and tokenized product marketplaces. Engagements range from formation-stage structuring through ongoing accounting and filings for companies operating across multiple entities and jurisdictions.
Both, and they are difficult to separate in this space. Tax positions depend on the underlying numbers being accurate and traceable, which is why the accounting generally precedes the filings. Companies can engage either service independently, but most engage both because the work is connected.
Before the structure hardens. Entity configuration, token positioning, and intercompany arrangements are considerably less expensive to set correctly at formation than to unwind after money has flowed through them. Companies with existing activity should engage before the next filing deadline or financing event, since both create deadlines that limit what can still be addressed.
Yes. This is a common engagement. We review existing records and prior filings, identify where the treatment does not reflect the underlying activity, rebuild the books under a documented methodology reconciled to on-chain data, and prepare corrected or delinquent returns on supportable positions.
Most companies require a digital asset subledger integrated with a general ledger, since standard accounting platforms do not process on-chain activity and crypto tools alone do not produce financial statements. Software selection depends on the chains, tokens, and activity types involved, and we handle that assessment as part of the engagement rather than assuming a single platform fits.
Token generation events and team allocations raise accounting and tax questions that should be evaluated before the event rather than after. Treatment depends on the structure of the issuance, the rights attached, the vesting terms, and the entity configuration. Companies that engage before a launch generally have more options available than those addressing the same questions afterward.
Foreign ownership and multi-entity structures trigger related-party reporting obligations, transfer pricing considerations, and analysis of how development activity and intellectual property are allocated across jurisdictions. These are common in Web3 and are considerably less expensive to address at formation than after transactions have flowed through the structure.
Yes. We document the analysis behind material accounting and tax positions so they can be explained to a counterparty, ensure books reconcile and filings are current, and identify exposure that would surface in a diligence review before the process begins rather than during it.
