A Note From Our Founder

Hi! I’m Laura, aka the Crypto Tax Girl. I’m a CPA and I’ve been in crypto since 2014. I love all things crypto, so when the big bull run happened in 2017, I decided to leave my career at EY and start my own crypto tax firm. At the time, there weren’t any other CPAs talking about crypto taxes, so I started a Twitter account where I would regularly tweet out crypto tax tips. It quickly gained traction, and I began offering crypto tax preparation, advisory, and compliance services to other crypto enthusiasts. I never could have anticipated that I would still be doing the same thing all of these years later, but I’m so glad to be here!

I am passionate about helping people understand how crypto is taxed in approachable and easy to understand ways. I love talking with clients to learn more about their situation and then helping them come up with a tax strategy to use alongside their trading strategy. Though I prepare taxes for a living, I hate paying taxes, so I’ll always recommend ways to reduce the amount of taxes that you pay too.

Whether we work together now, or in the future, I look forward to helping you with your crypto taxes! Thanks for trusting me and my team 🙂
