Featured in Forbes for "Leading the Charge on Crypto Accounting": Read the Forbes Feature
Patrick Camuso has been recognized by Forbes as a Best-in-State Top CPA for two consecutive years for work in digital asset tax, accounting, and compliance, including emerging areas such as prediction market reporting.
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.
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.

Why We’re a Forbes Best-In-State Top CPA (and What That Means for You)
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
