Digital Assets

Digital Asset Leaders in Tax, Audit & Advisory

While digital assets and distributed ledger technologies have broadened in significance well beyond Bitcoin, the underlying technologies have created new challenges for financial reporting surrounding digital assets. Our in-house digital asset specialists can help you meet those challenges. An important part of our approach includes taking a step back and looking at your business holistically to better understand your business and related needs.

Cohen & Company has developed one of the leading digital asset tax, audit and advisory groups in the country, with a strong team of professionals providing in-depth expertise related to digital assets, initial coin offerings (ICOs), decentralized finance (DeFi) and non-fungible tokens (NFTs). This expertise has enabled us to develop specific, tailored procedures for the audits of digital asset funds. Specifically, we serve a significant number of digital asset funds, working with new managers, administrators, exchanges and attorneys in this evolutionary sector of alternative investments. Our team goes beyond traditional tax and audit to offer services such as digital asset specific outsourced CFO solutions.

As leaders in the industry we:

  • Are active in SEC and digital asset industry groups, such as the AICPA Digital Asset Working Group and the Chamber of Digital Commerce, to help educate regulators and establish best practices;

  • Received the “Best Audit Provider” distinction in Hedgeweek’s 2023 and 2022 US Digital Assets Awards; and

  • Are a founding sponsor of CoinAlts Fund Symposium, and sponsor and present at other key industry events.
