Recognized by Forbes as a 2025 Best-in-State Top CPA
Featured in Forbes for Leading the Charge on Crypto Accounting: Read the Forbes Feature
Patrick Camuso named a 2025 Forbes Best-In-State Top CPA for leadership in cryptocurrency taxation, digital asset accounting, and Web3 compliance. Crypto-native since 2016.
Nationally Recognized Crypto CPA Since 2016 and the first CPA firm in the U.S. to accept cryptocurrency for professional services.
Forbes Named Us a Best-In-State Top CPA. Here’s Why.
We have advised high-net-worth crypto investors, DeFi traders, multi-chain operators, and early adopters through multiple market cycles, enforcement waves, and regulatory transitions since 2016. We were the first CPA firm in the United States to accept cryptocurrency for professional services. Our work spans cost basis reconstruction and historical accounting remediation, IRS notice response and audit defense, forward-looking tax strategy for complex digital asset portfolios, and full-service cryptocurrency tax preparation and compliance.
We have resolved six- and seven-figure IRS disputes for crypto investors through amended returns, proper basis allocation, and penalty abatement strategies. When clients receive CP2000 notices, 6173 letters, or audit inquiries related to digital assets, we handle the full response: reconstructing the transaction history, preparing substantiation packages, and representing taxpayers through correspondence and examination. This is high-stakes work where the methodology and documentation have to hold up under IRS scrutiny, and it is one of the core reasons Forbes recognized our firm.
We build accounting systems for Web3 startups from the ground up, integrating on-chain sub-ledgers with QuickBooks, Xero, and NetSuite to produce investor-grade financials. We support founders through token launches, fundraising due diligence, treasury management, and audit preparation.
We have produced some of the most widely referenced analysis on Form 1099-DA and the transition to third-party broker reporting. Patrick has published on 1099-DA in Tax Notes, the leading tax policy publication in the country. Our work has been cited in Bloomberg Tax, and we have partnered with leading crypto tax software platforms to analyze reporting gaps. This is the compliance era for digital assets, and we have been preparing our clients for it since before the regulations were finalized.
We are one of the only firms in the country with dedicated prediction market tax reporting services, advising Polymarket, Kalshi, and other prediction market traders on tax characterization, contract lifecycle reconstruction, and compliance strategy in an area of tax law that remains unsettled. Our prediction market tax guide ranks among the top search results nationally.
Patrick serves on the AICPA Digital Asset Task Force, teaches nationally accredited CPE courses on cryptocurrency taxation and Web3 sales tax compliance, and hosts The Financial Frontier, a podcast featuring former IRS senior advisors, tax policy attorneys, academic researchers, and crypto tax software founders. He is the author of The Crypto Tax Handbook, the professional-standard reference for digital asset taxation and compliance, and the author of the first published book on Web3 sales tax compliance.
What the Forbes Recognition Means
Since 2016, we have advised clients through multiple market cycles, enforcement waves, and regulatory transitions across every major blockchain and exchange. We have reconstructed cost basis and historical accounting spanning 5 to 10+ years of missing or fragmented records for high-net-worth investors and active traders. We have resolved six- and seven-figure IRS disputes through amended returns, proper basis allocation, and penalty abatement strategies
Patrick serves on the AICPA Digital Asset Task Force, shaping how the accounting profession approaches cryptocurrency taxation at the national level. He has published on Form 1099-DA in Tax Notes, the leading tax policy publication in the country. He is the author of The Crypto Tax Handbook, the professional-standard reference for digital asset taxation and compliance, and the author of the first published book on Web3 sales tax compliance. He created and teaches the first CPE-accredited course on NFT and crypto sales tax, helping other CPAs develop the expertise their clients need.
Our analysis on Form 1099-DA, IRS enforcement frameworks, and prediction market taxation has been cited in Bloomberg Tax, Business Insider, and Forbes. We established dedicated prediction market tax reporting services before any other CPA firm in the country. We have spoken at ETHDenver and leading Web3 conferences on the structural shifts defining digital asset compliance. Patrick hosts The Financial Frontier, a podcast and video series featuring former IRS senior advisors, tax policy attorneys, crypto tax software founders, and compliance leaders working at the frontier of digital asset regulation.
Over 90% of the crypto portfolios we review contain errors, missing data, or tax misclassifications. We built this practice to fix that, not just for individual clients, but for the profession.

A high-volume DeFi investor came to us after receiving an IRS 6174-A notice and years of unfiled crypto activity. Before reaching out to our firm to resolve their crypto tax issues, they had tried using three crypto tax software platforms and hired two other accounting firms—none of which produced accurate results. We reconstructed their entire crypto tax history, cleaned up seven years of accounting, and successfully negotiated an Offer in Compromise with the IRS.

Recovered Millions in Overstated Gains and Built an Accurate Crypto Tax System from 2016–Present
Paul
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. Their reports overstated his gains by millions, misclassified transactions, and ignored 30+ wallets, 15+ exchanges, margin trades, DeFi activity, and NFTs across 10+ chains. 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. By identifying loss harvesting opportunities and creating accurate filings, we saved Jonathan substantial money and ensured IRS compliance.

Built an Investor-Ready Financial Model After Revamping a Web3 Startup's Back Office

We began by cleaning up their accounting stack and rebuilding workflows to ensure accurate, real-time visibility. From there, we implemented a full-stack CFO solution—introducing structured budgeting, forecasting, and token comp reporting. Our work enabled them to support board reporting, streamline investor communications, and scale operations with confidence.

Why We’re a Forbes Best-In-State Top CPA (and What That Means for You)
What does it mean to be a Forbes Best-In-State Top CPA?
Forbes evaluates thousands of CPAs nationwide through an independent editorial process based on peer nominations, client satisfaction, industry specialization, and demonstrated results. Fewer than 1% are selected. It is not a paid listing. Patrick Camuso was the only cryptocurrency-focused CPA on the 2025 list.
How is Camuso CPA different from traditional CPA firms?
We were built inside the digital asset ecosystem starting in 2016, not retrofitted to handle crypto. Our systems are designed for multi-wallet environments, cross-chain activity, DeFi protocols, and on-chain accounting complexity that most firms have never encountered. We don't translate crypto into traditional accounting, we built natively for it.
What services does Camuso CPA provide?
Cryptocurrency tax preparation and planning, cost basis reconstruction and historical accounting remediation, Form 1099-DA compliance and reconciliation, IRS notice response and audit defense, Web3 startup accounting, prediction market tax reporting, and Web3 sales tax compliance.
Do you help clients who are behind on taxes or facing IRS notices?
Yes. We have resolved six- and seven-figure IRS disputes for crypto investors through amended returns, proper basis allocation, and penalty abatement. When clients receive CP2000 notices, 6173 letters, or audit inquiries, we handle the full response — reconstructing the transaction history, preparing substantiation packages, and representing the taxpayer through examination.
How much cryptocurrency experience does Patrick Camuso have?
Patrick has worked exclusively in digital asset taxation and accounting since 2016. He serves on the AICPA Digital Asset Task Force, has published on Form 1099-DA in Tax Notes, authored The Crypto Tax Handbook, wrote the first book on Web3 sales tax compliance, and created the first CPE-accredited course on NFT and crypto sales tax. He hosts The Financial Frontier podcast, featuring former IRS senior advisors, tax policy attorneys, and crypto tax software founders.
Can you handle high-volume or complex crypto portfolios?
That is the core of our practice. We routinely reconstruct cost basis spanning 5 to 10+ years of activity across dozens of wallets, multiple exchanges, DeFi protocols, bridges, and chains. We work with investors whose records are fragmented, incomplete, or have never been properly reconciled — and we produce audit-grade documentation from it.
Do you work with Web3 startups and founders?
Yes. We build accounting systems for token-based businesses from the ground up, integrating on-chain sub-ledgers with QuickBooks, Xero, and NetSuite. We support founders through token launches, fundraising due diligence, treasury management, grant accounting, and audit preparation.
What is your approach to 1099-DA compliance?
We reconcile broker-reported 1099-DA data against reconstructed cost basis records to identify and resolve mismatches before the IRS does. Patrick has published on 1099-DA in Tax Notes and our analysis has been cited in Bloomberg Tax. We prepare clients for the structural shift to third-party broker reporting rather than reacting to it after the fact.
Do you work with prediction market traders?
We are one of the only CPA firms in the country with dedicated prediction market tax reporting services. We advise Polymarket, Kalshi, and other prediction market traders on tax characterization, contract lifecycle reconstruction, and compliance strategy. Our prediction market tax guide ranks among the top search results nationally.
How do I get started working with Camuso CPA?
Schedule a consultation through our contact page. We will review your situation, identify where the risks and opportunities are, and scope an engagement based on what you actually need — whether that is a single-year filing, a multi-year reconstruction, ongoing accounting, or IRS notice response.
