Your balance sheet has crypto on it.
Your CFO needs to understand it.

Traditional CFOs learned accounting in a world where assets don't move 24/7, don't live on public ledgers, and don't generate yield through smart contracts. Crypto changes all of that — and you need a CFO who's already solved these problems.

🏦 Managing a Crypto Treasury

Bitcoin and ETH on your balance sheet require specialized treasury management: custody strategy, hedging, yield generation, and position sizing that a traditional CFO simply isn't equipped to handle.

📊 On-Chain Accounting & Audit Readiness

Every on-chain transaction is a potential accounting event. Our crypto CFOs know Bitwave, Reconcile, and Gilded — and how to produce GAAP-compliant crypto financials that survive an audit.

💰 Stablecoin Payment Integration

Accepting USDC, processing payroll in crypto, or moving treasury into stablecoins requires a CFO who understands the accounting treatment, tax implications, and risk profile of each approach.

🚀 Crypto-Friendly Fundraising Prep

Investors in Web3 companies expect financial models that include token vesting schedules, DeFi revenue recognition, and treasury management policies. We build decks that pass institutional due diligence.

📈 DeFi Yield Strategy for Corporate Reserves

Corporate cash earning 0.01% in a savings account can earn 3–8% in blue-chip DeFi protocols. Our CFOs build risk-adjusted yield strategies with governance controls your board can approve.

⚖️ Regulatory Compliance & Tax Optimization

IRS Notice 2014-21, FASB ASC 350, SEC guidance on digital assets — the regulatory landscape is moving fast. Our crypto CFOs stay current so your company doesn't get surprised at year-end.

Common questions

What does a crypto-native CFO do that a regular CFO can't?
A crypto-native CFO has hands-on experience managing digital asset treasuries, implementing on-chain accounting systems, designing DeFi yield strategies, and navigating the evolving regulatory landscape for crypto companies. A traditional CFO can learn the concepts, but you're paying for someone who's already solved these problems — not learning on your dime.
How much does a fractional crypto CFO cost in Seattle?
Fractional crypto CFOs in Seattle typically cost $8,000–$25,000/month depending on engagement scope and seniority. Hourly rates range from $200–$500/hr. This is a 20–40% premium over standard fractional CFO rates, reflecting the specialized expertise required. Compared to a full-time crypto CFO at $300,000–$500,000+/year, you're looking at 60–80% savings.
When does my company need a crypto CFO?
You need a crypto-native CFO when: your treasury holds more than 5% in crypto assets, you're accepting crypto payments from customers, deploying corporate capital into DeFi, issuing tokens or planning a token event, preparing for a crypto-forward Series A or B, or when your accountant starts asking crypto-specific questions you can't answer confidently.
What accounting tools do your crypto CFOs use?
Our crypto CFOs are expert users of Bitwave, Reconcile, Gilded, CoinTracker, and TokenTax for on-chain accounting. They integrate with your existing finance stack (QuickBooks, Xero, NetSuite) and produce GAAP-compliant crypto financials that satisfy auditors and investors.
Can a fractional crypto CFO help with fundraising?
Yes. Our crypto CFOs regularly help companies prepare for crypto-forward fundraises — building financial models that include token vesting schedules, DeFi revenue recognition, treasury management policies, and the crypto-specific metrics institutional investors expect to see. They know what crypto-friendly VCs look for in due diligence.
