Starting a Crypto Accounting Firm
Thinking of starting a crypto accounting firm?
Before you say “yes”… you should hear from someone who's done it.
Mackenzie Patel is the Managing Partner at Hash Basis, a crypto-native accounting firm based in San Francisco.
At Hash Basis, they don’t dabble in crypto.
They only work with companies in web3 (from seed stage to Series B), across sectors like mining, gaming, DeWi, payments, DeFi, NFTs, and beyond
Whether it’s tax, fiat/crypto bookkeeping, or subledger implementations.
This is the stuff most firms are still figuring out.
But Mackenzie & Hash Basis?
They’ve been living it.
This is for accountants ready to go all-in on serving businesses adopting digital assets.
