The Most Expensive Crypto Tax Mistake? Waiting
- Crypto portfolios don’t self-correct.
- 1099-DA enforcement has begun. Every exchange is reporting to the IRS.
- Confidential review with the only Forbes-recognized crypto-native CPA firm, limited availability.
- Lost wallets, shut-down exchanges and disappearing data grows with delay and makes reconciliation harder and more expensive.
- Every year without planning is a year of overpaid taxes and lost wealth.
- Quality crypto tax work isn’t cheap, but cutting corners on crypto accounting can cost exponentially more later.
- Crypto tax software is great for basic situations, but when you have high stakes or complex transactions, they often get it wrong or leave money on the table.

Recovered Millions in Overstated Gains and Built an Accurate Crypto Tax System from 2016–Present

Jonathan, a high-net-worth crypto investor active since 2016, came to us after multiple failed attempts with top crypto tax software and two CPA firms.

He also received inaccurate 1099s with no cost basis tracking.
Our team rebuilt his accounting system from the ground up—accurately reconciling every transaction from 2016 to the present. We corrected misreported 1099s, cleaned up his books, and implemented an ongoing crypto-native tax strategy.
