• Support M&A, restructurings, and valuations (ASC 805 purchase price allocations, goodwill, deferred taxes, entity wind-downs)
• Assist in designing and operationalizing crypto accounting policies, including token compensation, staking, and on-chain activity
• Contribute to financial reporting and disclosures, including crypto holdings, fair value hierarchy, and audit support
