The crypto sub-ledger built for accurate books

Underneath every CryptaCount report is a purpose-built crypto sub-ledger: it records each transaction at source, applies the right cost basis, and posts balanced double-entry journals you can reconcile, report, and audit — then feeds the summary into your general ledger.

What a crypto sub-ledger actually does

Your general ledger is the system of record. It was never designed to hold thousands of token transfers, swaps, gas fees, and staking events — let alone track cost basis across them. A crypto sub-ledger fills that gap. It captures the full detail of on-chain and exchange activity, does the crypto-specific accounting, and hands your GL clean, summarised journals.

That's the line between CryptaCount and a portfolio tracker. A tracker tells you what a wallet is worth. A sub-ledger gives you the debits and credits — cost-basis-accurate gain/loss, an audit trail, and reconciliations that prove the numbers are complete.

Cost basis, done to the standard

Cost basis is where most crypto accounting goes wrong. CryptaCount tracks it at the lot level and lets you apply the method your jurisdiction or policy requires: 12 disposal methods including FIFO, LIFO, HIFO, WAVG, and Specific Identification — selectable per entity, across 70+ jurisdictions.

Your chosen method applies consistently; jurisdiction-mandated treatments such as UK Section 104 pooling and Canada ACB apply automatically, so a mixed-jurisdiction group is handled correctly without manual workarounds.

Change of method, mixed jurisdictions across a group, or a specific-ID disposal for tax-lot optimisation — all handled in the ledger, not in a spreadsheet on the side. How each cost-basis method works →

Double-entry with an audit trail you can defend

Every event CryptaCount records becomes a balanced journal entry with a tamper-evident, hashed audit trail. Nothing is a free-floating number. When an auditor asks how a balance was derived, the answer is a traceable chain of postings back to the on-chain transaction — not a manual reconstruction.

Built for groups, not just single wallets

Multi-wallet, multi-entity. Consolidate hundreds of wallets across multiple legal entities into one set of books, with per-entity method and jurisdiction settings and a consolidated view on top.

Realised & unrealised gain/loss. Gain/loss computed from actual cost basis — realised on disposal, unrealised at fair value where the standard requires it — not an estimated P&L.

DeFi and NFTs as real records

DeFi and NFT activity is where manual crypto accounting collapses. CryptaCount captures it as proper accounting events:

• DeFi: liquidity provision, lending, borrowing, staking, rewards, and wrapping — classified and posted, not left as raw transfers.
• NFTs: mints, purchases, sales, and royalties recorded with cost basis and gain/loss.

Reconciliation that proves completeness

A sub-ledger is only as good as its reconciliation. CryptaCount ties three sources together — on-chain activity ↔ exchange records ↔ your general ledger — so you can demonstrate completeness and accuracy rather than assert it. Gaps and mismatches surface before close, not during audit.

Feeds the GL you already run

Reconciled journals sync to your accounting system — Xero and Zoho are live today, with QuickBooks, NetSuite, and Sage on the roadmap. The sub-ledger does the crypto work; your existing accounting system stays the system of record. Exchange, wallet & ERP integrations →

Why CryptaCount

• Native chain data — transaction detail read from our own on-chain data infrastructure, not rented from third-party APIs, so DeFi and internal transfers are captured more completely and traced to source.
• Accounting-first — built by an FCCA-qualified team around double-entry and controls, not a tracker with an export button bolted on.
• 12 methods, 70+ jurisdictions — the ledger bends to your policy and local rules, not the other way round.
