Valuable Service

Considering that the data was put together by people with experience gave a lot of value to the service. Even if I used some of the tools online that was recommended, my situation was quite complex and would have been very time consuming to make sure that it was accurate. If I used someone without experience, this would be a very expensive and time consuming process and it may not even be accurate. In the end I thought that the service was worth it.

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.

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.

Prevented $1M+ in Future Liability by Automating Web3 Sales Tax With On-Chain Software & Strategic Advisory

William

A Web3 NFT marketplace founder approached us ahead of launch, unsure how to manage evolving U.S. sales tax obligations for digital goods and tokenized assets. We identified critical nexus exposure across multiple states and advised them on a compliant platform structure—before any sales occurred.

Our team implemented a tailored on-chain sales tax automation solution, integrating it with their smart contract and payment flows. In addition to ensuring tax compliance from day one, we provided strategic advisory on jurisdictional risk, token classification, and reporting frameworks.

By proactively correcting the platform architecture and automating sales tax at the protocol level, the company avoided regulatory risk, saved months of legal cleanup, and protected themselves from $1M+ in future tax liability.

Web3 Accounting FAQ

Your financial data is protected through encrypted storage, secure portals, and industry-best cybersecurity protocols. We use verified platforms like Sharefile, and password-protected systems to ensure your digital and fiat assets are safe.

Wallet activity must be imported, categorized, and tied to specific payroll events. We use custom sub-ledgers and automation to map these flows directly into your GL.

Each token grant must be tracked by value at time of issuance, vesting schedule, and jurisdiction. Wallet-level tracking, sub-ledgers, and detailed audit logs are critical.

We aggregate data across wallets, exchanges, and protocols, map transactions to chart-of-accounts categories, and tie totals to GAAP financials via custom sub-ledgers.

A sub-ledger tracks crypto asset movement independently before summarizing it for your main GL. It's vital for audit readiness, especially when dealing with 1,000s of on-chain transactions.

Ideally monthly, especially before closes, audits, or investor updates. High-volume firms may need weekly or even daily reconciliation processes.

 

We commonly work with Cryptoworth, Bitwave, Cryptio, along with many other sub-ledgers and custom CSV parsers. These integrate with QuickBooks, Xero, and NetSuite for downstream reporting.

Yes. SAFTs may create accounting liabilities and tax implications depending on token timing, delivery, and structure. Each case requires tailored review.

Yes. We align accounting recognition and revenue timelines with your roadmap, legal docs, and token release schedule to minimize risk and confusion.

You need clean financials, reconciled wallets, GAAP-compliant closes, and documentation for all major transactions, comp events, and token launches.

DAO reports should include treasury balances, wallet flows, budget vs. actual, token issuance, contributor payments, and proposal-aligned spending.

Yes. We support complex orgs with Delaware, Cayman, BVI, Swiss, or Panamanian entities operating across borders and wallets.

We’ve supported crypto-native clients since 2016, built sub-ledger-ready systems, and were independently named a Forbes Best-in-State Top CPA for leadership in Web3 accounting.

Camuso CPA is a Forbes Best-in-State Top CPA firm specializing in Web3 accounting, crypto tax strategy, and outsourced financial systems for startups, DAOs, and digital asset investors. We are known for pioneering crypto-first financial solutions since 2016.

 

Unlike most traditional CPAs, we focus exclusively on crypto-native accounting systems, offering token comp tracking, multi-wallet sub-ledgers, and DAO treasury support. We’ve been trusted by founders, fund managers, and DAOs across the U.S. and internationally.

 

Yes. Camuso CPA was independently selected by Forbes as a 2025 Best-in-State Top CPA firm, honored for leadership in Web3 accounting and digital asset compliance. This award was not paid or sponsored.

Web3 accounting involves tracking, reconciling, and reporting blockchain-based transactions including crypto wallets, token compensation, DAOs, and NFTs. Unlike traditional accounting, it must handle decentralized, permissionless, and real-time data with high regulatory scrutiny.

Yes. We work with international DAOs, token foundations, and multi-entity structures including Cayman, BVI, Swiss, and Panamanian jurisdictions ensuring cross-border compliance and reporting integrity.

Yes. Web3 companies often deal with wallets, tokens, DeFi, and multi-jurisdictional entities. Traditional systems like QuickBooks need enhancements, such as crypto sub-ledgers, to properly account for blockchain-native activity.

GAAP compliance ensures your financials meet investor, regulatory, and audit standards. For Web3 firms, it builds trust with VCs, avoids IRS issues, and prepares for exits or M&A events.

DAOs face challenges in wallet ownership tracking, contributor comp, treasury reporting, and off-chain reconciliation. Decentralized governance makes accounting harder without clear internal controls.

Yes, but not out of the box. You'll need integrations, crypto sub-ledgers, and manual mappings to translate on-chain transactions into clean, GAAP-aligned entries.

We implement tracking systems, reporting standards, and compliance processes that align wallet use with jurisdictional tax and financial regs.

Web3 founders choose Camuso CPA because we offer crypto-native accounting systems that traditional firms can’t match.
