BKR International, a global association of independent accounting and advisory firms representing more than 145 member firms with nearly 600 offices across over 75 countries, has selected The Accountant Quits as its educational provider for web3 accounting.
While BKR International already counts ht.digital, one of the world’s largest crypto accounting, audit, and tax firms, among its members, many firms across the association have had limited direct exposure to the web3 industry to date.
To bridge that gap, selected member firms from BKR International will participate in the Crypto Accounting Accelerator: a five-day intensive training program designed specifically for accounting firms seeking a practical, firm-ready approach to digital asset accounting.
The program covers core competencies required to service crypto-native organizations, including:
- Navigating block explorers
- Crypto sub-ledger selection and implementation
- On-chain bookkeeping workflows
- Crypto tax treatments
- Entity structuring using foundations and token SPVs
- Proof of Reserves and audit considerations
The training equips BKR member firms with the foundational knowledge required to confidently support clients holding digital assets on their balance sheets and to expand their service offerings into crypto-related accounting, audit, and tax advisory.
2025 marked crypto’s return to the financial mainstream. With regulatory frameworks such as the GENIUS Act in the United States and MiCA in Europe making tangible progress, enterprise adoption of digital assets has accelerated. As a result, accounting firms are now racing to upskill their teams to meet growing client demand.
“As the adoption of digital assets continues to accelerate globally, our member firms must be equipped to navigate the complexity of crypto accounting, audit, and tax. The Accountant Quits has established itself as a pioneer in crypto accounting education, and based on the strong feedback from member firms such as Ormsby & Rhodes and Lince Salisbury, selecting them as our education partner was a natural decision”,
— said Micheal Burch, CEO of BKR International
