"I teach people to understand what they own before they buy. Count On Sheep does the same thing for your tax history: they trace every transfer, staking reward, and DeFi position so the numbers you file actually match what happened. No hype, just clean records."

Real clients. Real peace of mind.
Here's what clients say after we clean up the mess.
We reconcile across platforms — not just one exchange.
Kraken, Coinbase, MEXC, Bitunix, MetaMask, Ledger, staking and DeFi protocols. We turn all of it into one reconciled ledger and CPA-ready tax reports.
Taxes are the last step of understanding what you own.
Cost basis breaks when you move funds
Transfers don't carry cost basis between platforms. Move coins from an exchange to cold storage, or bridge to another chain, and your gains and losses can be wildly wrong. We rebuild the history and close the gaps.
Staking, yield, and DeFi get misclassified
Staking rewards, LP positions, lending, bridges, copy trades. Most software labels these wrong or misses them. We normalize the activity into a defensible ledger and clean summaries.
Your 1099-DA won't match reality
Broker forms only see the slice that happened on their platform. Coins you moved in from a wallet or another exchange show up with missing basis. Clean reconciliation closes the gap and gives your CPA confidence.

To get started, book a consultation and share the basics of your account, including your exchanges, wallets, transaction volume, and the type of trading activity you have. From there, we’ll review scope and tell you the best next step.
Yes. That is exactly where our team adds the most value. We specialize in multi-wallet, multi-exchange, and multi-chain reconciliation so your cost basis and reporting are accurate across your full portfolio.
Yes. We reconcile staking, liquidity pools, lending, borrowing, farming, wrapping, bridging, and other advanced DeFi activity with human review for accuracy.
Yes. If you already have a CPA, we can prepare the crypto reports they need. If you file yourself, you can use our completed reports with platforms like TurboTax or similar tax software.
Not directly. We handle the crypto side for you by reconciling your wallets, exchanges, and on-chain activity, then delivering CPA-ready reports and tax outputs you can file through your CPA or your preferred platform, including TurboTax-style software
We provide audit-ready reports and supporting documentation designed to help your CPA or tax professional file accurately and respond with clean records if questions come up.
No. We never need your funds or private keys. We work with secure, read-only data access and keep you in control of your assets at all times.
It depends on the complexity of your account, your transaction count, and how quickly your data is connected and reviewed. Simpler portfolios move faster, while multi-wallet, DeFi-heavy, or high-volume accounts take longer because they require more reconciliation and human review.
Pricing is based on the scope of work required for your account, especially transaction volume, wallet and exchange count, and portfolio complexity. During onboarding, we review your setup and give you a clear estimate before work begins.
Yes. We regularly work with active traders across multiple wallets, exchanges, and chains, including complex portfolios with thousands of transactions, transfers, bridges, and staking events.
Yes. Copy trading produces a high volume of small fills across platforms like MEXC, Bitunix, and BTCC, often with leverage and funding fees mixed in. We pull the full histories, match transfers between accounts, and roll the activity into one reconciled ledger so nothing is double counted or missed.
We can help clean that up. We regularly work on missing cost basis, software errors, incomplete histories, and multi-year cleanup so you can produce corrected, CPA-ready reports.
Common, and fixable. A 1099-DA only reports what happened on that one broker, so coins you transferred in show up with missing or zero cost basis. We rebuild the basis from your full history across every exchange and wallet, then give your CPA the reconciled numbers and notes to support them.
Generally, staking rewards and yield are treated as income when received, then carry that value as cost basis when you later sell. We identify every reward event, value it at receipt, and separate income from capital gains in your reports. Your CPA or licensed tax professional makes the final call on treatment.
