What It Costs to Work With Me

Posted up front so nobody is surprised on the first call. If your crypto activity is a few thousand dollars a year, these numbers will not make sense for you, and that is the point of showing them.

Tax Preparation

Quoted after a look at your year

Federal and state returns for crypto investors and crypto businesses, in all 50 states. You bring reconciled transaction data from CoinTracker, Koinly, ZenLedger or a bookkeeper. I handle Form 8949, the income side (staking, mining, airdrops, node rewards), and the questions the software got wrong.

  • Form 1040 or the business return, with every schedule
  • All 50 states
  • Review of the software output before anything is filed

One-off Consulting

From $1,500

Up to four hours

A block of time for one specific question: how to structure a mining or validator operation, what a token sale does to your return, whether trader status is worth electing. No ongoing engagement.

  • Up to four hours of working time
  • Specific answers, with the authority behind them

Fees above are starting points for November 2026. The consultation is where I quote the actual number, after I have seen what a year of your activity looks like.

Fit

Who This Is For, and Who It Isn't

A good fit

  • Investors with six-figure crypto gains who want to keep more of what they already made instead of handing it to the IRS.
  • Node operators, validators and miners deciding how to structure the operation, what to deduct, and how to avoid a surprise bill.
  • People who understand the blockchain side and need the tax and compliance side handled by someone who also understands it.
  • Operators whose situation changes every quarter and want a CPA who keeps up instead of catching up in April.

A bad fit

  • Hobbyists getting started. There is no way to justify my fees at that level of activity, and I will say so on the call.
  • Anyone looking for a coach to teach them how to make money in crypto.
  • Billion-dollar enterprises. My clients are six-to-eight-figure investors and closely held businesses. Series funding and exchange launches need a tax attorney.
  • Anyone who needs crypto bookkeeping. I do not reconcile ledgers. Once CoinTracker, ZenLedger or a bookkeeper has your transactions recorded, that is where I start.
