# Count On Sheep

> Count On Sheep is a USA-based team of crypto tax professionals. We are former Big 4 accountants and CPA leadership, now crypto-native blockchain tax experts. We do not file your taxes. We produce CPA-ready Form 8949, Schedule D, and Schedule 1 inputs through a Digital Asset Reconciliation (DAR) process, so your CPA or tax software can file accurately. Phone: +1-858-434-7547.

## What we do
- Reconcile complex crypto activity across exchanges, wallets, DeFi, and NFTs
- Reconstruct cost basis and produce CPA-ready tax form data
- Bridge DeFi/on-chain activity and traditional tax reporting requirements
- We deliver the crypto tax work; your CPA or TurboTax/FreeTaxUSA files the return
