What crypto traders say about our partners
"Just wanted to let y'all know that I appreciate the hard work y'all do! I am definitely looking to work together again next year so keep me posted when y'all start gearing up for the 2024 tax season. Thank you to the whole team!"
I had years of crypto activity spread across different exchanges and wallets, and it had become overwhelming to deal with. Block3 Finance stepped in and brought order to everything. They took the time to understand how I actually trade and use crypto, reconciled a large volume of transactions, and explained things clearly along the way. I felt confident knowing my reporting was accurate and properly handled.
I have worked with Derek Wride and Moontax for the last 2 years. When I first approached them, I was in a really bad spot with my crypto taxes - thousands of transactions and complex issues. Despite being a CPA myself, I did not understand crypto tax law. I tried half a dozen different crypto tax platforms and all of them produced results that were wildly inaccurate. Derek's expertise helped me select the best platform and work through software inadequacies to come up with solutions for my tax filings. I look forward to the day that Moontax launches their own platform because they understood my issues in a way that no other solution could handle. They've worked extremely hard and been very fair in their fees. I literally could not have done it without them.

When do I need a cryptocurrency tax expert?
Frequently asked questions
How is crypto tax calculated in New Zealand?
Consider your specific needs: transaction volume, types of crypto activities (trading, DeFi, NFTs, mining), and budget. Look for accountants with proven crypto expertise, positive reviews, and experience with cases similar to yours. Our directory makes it easy to filter by services, pricing, and specialties to find your perfect match.
How much does a crypto tax accountant cost?
The way cryptocurrencies are taxed in New Zealand mean that investors might still need to pay tax, regardless of whether they made an overall profit or loss. Depending on your circumstances, taxes are usually realized at the time of the transaction, and not on the overall position at the end of the financial year.
What's the difference between reconciliation and full-service?
In New Zealand you are required to record the value of the cryptocurrency in your local currency at the time of the transaction. This can be extremely time consuming to do by hand, since most exchange records do not have a reference price point, and records between exchanges are not easily compatible.
Do I really need a crypto tax specialist?
If you have more than a few simple buy-and-sell transactions, a crypto specialist is highly recommended. They understand complex issues like DeFi yield farming, NFT taxation, staking rewards, hard forks, and airdrops. Traditional CPAs often lack this specialized knowledge, which can lead to overpayment or compliance issues.
How long does the crypto tax preparation process take?
Timeline depends on your transaction volume and complexity. Simple cases (under 100 transactions) typically take 1-2 weeks. Complex cases with thousands of transactions across multiple platforms may take 3-4 weeks. Starting early (before March) gives you the best chance of filing on time and allows for thorough tax planning.
Can a crypto tax accountant help if I'm being audited?
Yes! Many crypto tax accountants offer audit defense services. They'll represent you before the IRS, prepare documentation, and explain your crypto activities in terms tax authorities understand. If you're facing an audit, choose an accountant with specific IRS audit experience—several in our directory specialize in this area.
