About Ben, EA 

Director of Crypto Analytics

Ben runs the crypto analytics process at CryptoTaxAudit. As an Enrolled Agent and Certified Management Accountant, he's federally authorized to represent taxpayers before the IRS, and he uses that credential daily.

Ben's job is twofold: figure out what you actually made, and make sure it holds up if the IRS comes knocking. That means digging through exchange histories, wallet transfers, DeFi protocols, NFT sales, staking rewards, and airdrops that happened three years ago on a platform you barely remember using.

Most crypto tax software spits out a number. Ben's team validates it, fixes it, or rebuilds it from scratch when needed. He oversees the gain calculation process for clients with transaction histories that span multiple exchanges, chains, and tax years. The kind of situations where getting it wrong means audit exposure.

Most people contact Ben when they hit a wall with crypto tax software or realize the numbers don't add up. Sometimes it's complicated from the start. Multiple exchanges, DeFi protocols, years of transaction history.

Other times it looks simple until you factor in liquidity pools and tracking cost basis across multiple blockchains. Either way, he walks clients through what they actually made and what holds up under IRS scrutiny.

Clients work with Ben directly. He explains what the numbers mean, where the risk is, and what their options are if something's messy. His background is accounting and IRS representation, so he knows what the IRS actually looks for during audits. Not just what sounds good in theory.
