A tailor-made contemporary accounting solution to suit your needs!
Cryptocurrency accounting and how to overcome the maze of blockchains?
The number of cryptocurrency brokerage, transfer and custody companies is growing rapidly. However, the accounting of these companies is still a challenge for many. There is no long-term experience in cryptographic accounting, and clear rules have not yet been developed. The annual reports of companies exposed to cryptocurrency are often omitted because blockchain transactions cannot be accounted for or interpreted.
However, solutions do exist!
Although there is no special standard for cryptocurrency accounting, the accounting of cryptocurrencies can still be based on the current International Financial Reporting Standards (IFRS). In choosing the right approach, it is important to understand the cryptographic activity of a particular company, i.e. whether the company uses cryptocurrency as a means of payment or invests, trades, mines or issues cryptocurrency instead.
We are well versed in blockchain technology and speak the same language as cryptographic companies. We can safely say that we serve and advise cryptocurrencies, because as our customers develop, so do we, adapting our knowledge and technological solutions to the rapidly evolving business world around us.
The following are the main reasons why cryptocurrency companies prefer to engage us for accounting services:
- We know your business and can do your accounts.
- We have modern technologies that are convenient for our customers.
- Our tax specialists know how to tax cryptographic transactions.
- We are supported by an international network of colleagues in 130 countries, so even the most global customers have their questions answered.
- We keep abreast of the rapidly evolving field and changes in the law.
- Our customers can focus on their core business without any worries.

What to consider when picking an accounting software?
When contemplating outsourcing your accounting, it makes perfect sense to also reconsider the tools that have been used so far. Although, switching over to another accounting software might seem a complex and time-consuming process, it is often an investment worth making if the new solution enables more extensive automations. Thus, increasing cost-effectiveness and improving the timeliness of accounting data. Moreover, in analysing the different accounting software available the team gains a deep understanding of the existing accounting processes, enabling them to further optimise for efficiency.
