This guide covers a selection of firms worth considering for US crypto investors in 2026. The list is in no particular order and is not exhaustive. The right choice depends on your situation: transaction volume, DeFi exposure, whether you have missing records, and whether you are already dealing with IRS correspondence. Many of the firms listed here operate 100% online. In many ways this is a cost-saving feature for clients as overheads are considerably lower.
With that said, there are a raft of non-negotiables any decent crypto tax CPA or accounting service should offer. Here's my top criteria:
What to Look for in a Crypto Tax Accountant
A good crypto tax accountant for complex situations should be able to:
- Reconstruct incomplete transaction histories across multiple platforms
- Handle DeFi, staking, NFTs, and cross-chain activity — not just simple buy and sell
- Apply correct wallet-by-wallet cost basis tracking under current IRS rules
- Work with or around the 1099-DA data you have received
- Produce Form 8949 and Schedule D filings that can withstand IRS scrutiny
- Provide audit support if needed
If a firm's process starts and ends with importing a CSV into software, that is not specialist crypto tax work. That is software operation. The two are not the same. A crypto tax software's results can only ever be as good as the data it received in the first place. Read on about the pros and cons of relying solely on crypto tax tools.
CountDeFi
CountDeFi has been working with crypto investors since 2017. My firm ranks as the number 1 global partner on Koinly's crypto tax accountant directory, a reflection of both volume and the complexity of work handled across its client base.
The firm was founded by me, Chris Herbst, a Managing Director holding qualifications in both accounting and computer science. That combination is rare in crypto tax and directly relevant to the work. Most accountants understand tax. Most data scientists understand blockchain. Chris and the CountDeFi team understand both, which is why the firm handles cases that other practices decline or mishandle.
CountDeFi operates as a fully virtual firm, serving US investors as well as Australian clients under ATO rules and investors across multiple other jurisdictions. The team combines crypto tax specialists, blockchain analysts, and data scientists. That combination matters for complex situations where the problem is not understanding the rules but producing a defensible set of numbers that reflects what actually happened.
For investors with DeFi exposure, staking income, NFT activity, offshore exchange history, or years of incomplete records, CountDeFi is 1 of the few firms genuinely built to handle the underlying data problem rather than working around it. With over 1,000 clients served, 1,400 tax reports completed, and 17 million transactions reconciled, the track record is documented.

Gordon Law Group
Gordon Law Group is 1 of the most established crypto tax practices in the US. Andrew Gordon holds both a CPA licence and a Tax Attorney licence. That combination becomes relevant when a tax compliance matter crosses into legal territory, since most CPAs cannot provide attorney-client privilege. Gordon Law can.
The firm handles the full range of crypto activity including DeFi, NFTs, mining, and staking, and works across all major transaction types and IRS reporting requirements. Its audit defence track record is well documented and the firm has appeared in the New York Times, Bloomberg, and CNBC. For investors already dealing with an IRS notice or facing audit risk, the dual CPA and attorney credential is a meaningful differentiator.
Camuso CPA
Camuso CPA has operated exclusively in digital asset accounting since 2016, making it 1 of the earliest practices built specifically for the complexity of on-chain portfolios. Patrick Camuso was recognised by Forbes as a Best-in-State Top CPA in both 2025 and 2026, and has co-authored publications in Tax Notes Federal and Tax Notes Global alongside the former head of the IRS Office of Digital Assets.
The firm focuses on high-net-worth investors, digital asset traders, and Web3 startups with complex activity. Every engagement is built around IRS-defensible filings rather than software-generated outputs. For investors with significant portfolios, complex DeFi exposure, or a need for proactive tax planning rather than just annual compliance, Camuso CPA is among the most credentialled options in the market.
Count on Sheep
Count on Sheep is a specialist reconciliation firm led by former Big Four digital asset professionals. The firm applies its DAR methodology to every project, from simple exchange histories to complex, multi-year DeFi and NFT activity, producing clean, reliable data without relying on automated software outputs.
The model is specifically positioned as a complement to a CPA rather than a replacement. Count on Sheep produces the reconciled transaction data, Form 8949 output, gain and loss summaries, and supporting documentation, then hands that package to your existing accountant or tax platform for filing. For investors who already have a CPA they trust but need the underlying crypto data properly cleaned up before it reaches them, this is a well-designed solution.
Crypto Tax Made Easy
Crypto Tax Made Easy is a crypto tax accounting firm that has worked in this space since 2017, serving clients across the US, UK, Australia, Canada, New Zealand, and Europe. The firm focuses on situations where crypto tax software produces outputs that need manual cleanup:
- DeFi and bridging activity
- Staking and NFT transactions
- Missing cost basis
- High-volume perpetual trading
- Multi-year catch-up work
For investors who have already tried software and hit a wall — returns that do not reconcile, data that does not import cleanly, or years of activity that no automated tool has been able to handle accurately — Crypto Tax Made Easy is worth a conversation.
Crypto Tax Girl
Crypto Tax Girl is a full-service tax firm run by a team of CPAs and crypto specialists. Services cover tax reporting, advisory, consultations, filing, and audit assistance. The firm has built a significant audience through educational content that makes crypto tax accessible for retail investors, while its actual services cover more complex situations including DeFi and multi-exchange portfolios.
For investors who want a firm with a clear communication style and solid credentials behind it, Crypto Tax Girl is worth considering. The firm is fully virtual and serves clients across the US.
Polygon Advisory Group
Polygon Advisory Group is a US-based public accounting firm focused on digital assets. The firm works across the full range of crypto tax situations from straightforward capital gains reporting to more complex DeFi and business income scenarios. It holds CPA credentials, operates fully online, and appears on professional directories including the CoinLedger accountant network.
For investors looking for a credentialled mid-market option with genuine crypto knowledge and solid professional infrastructure, Polygon is worth a conversation.
Dimov Tax
Dimov Tax is a virtual CPA firm with a crypto tax practice covering capital gains reporting, DeFi income, staking, NFTs, and business crypto activity. The firm handles both individual and business returns and has published substantial educational content on crypto tax topics including 1099-DA reporting and IRS enforcement trends.
For investors who want a credentialled CPA firm with demonstrable crypto knowledge across a range of complexity levels, Dimov Tax is a solid option.
How to Choose the Right Crypto Tax Accountant
The firm that is right for you depends on your specific situation.
If your records are incomplete or you have years of multi-platform history, focus on firms that lead with data reconstruction rather than software import. CountDeFi, Camuso CPA, and Count on Sheep all fall into this category.
If you are already facing IRS correspondence or audit risk, a firm with Tax Attorney credentials alongside CPA qualifications adds a layer of protection that a CPA-only firm cannot provide. Gordon Law Group is the clearest example.
If your situation is relatively manageable but you want a credentialled crypto specialist rather than a general accountant who has done a few crypto returns, Crypto Tax Girl and Dimov Tax both offer accessible services with genuine knowledge behind them.
Whatever you choose, verify credentials before you engage. Check that the person or firm holds a CPA, EA, or Tax Attorney licence. Ask specifically how they handle missing transaction data. Ask what their process is for DeFi and staking. The answers will tell you quickly whether you are talking to a genuine specialist or someone who will import your CSV and hope for the best.
