Hi! I'm the CEO and co-founder of Hash Basis LLP, a crypto native accounting firm. My business partner, Courtney, and I help individuals and businesses get their books in order. Prior to starting Hash Basis, I led crypto and revenue accounting at Figment, a validator on several Proof-of-Stake blockchains. I also do part-time accounting for dOrg, a DAO that offers web3 development services! When I'm not thinking about the FASB or DeFi, I'm chilling at The Center SF or hiking around Angel Island.
