RKO Tax

RKO Tax is a boutique crypto tax accounting firm founded in 2021, providing white-glove tax services to the crypto-native community. The firm was built by experienced tax professionals with Big Four backgrounds at KPMG, combining almost 20 years of combined tax experience with deep knowledge of cryptocurrency taxation.

Core Services

RKO Tax is a full-service tax firm specializing in cryptocurrency tax compliance. Their primary focus is preparing US tax returns for clients with complex crypto portfolios, including those with transactions spanning DeFi, NFTs, and traditional crypto trading. They work directly with clients to reconcile crypto transactions using industry-leading tax software, selecting the best tool based on each client's specific wallet and transaction types.

Key Strengths

What sets RKO Tax apart is their hands-on, high-touch approach. Rather than relying solely on automated software, they pair each client with a real tax professional who works directly with them throughout the year. Their team includes an Enrolled Agent (EA) and a CPA, providing both IRS representation capability and comprehensive accounting expertise. All three founding team members started their careers at KPMG, bringing Fortune 500-level tax knowledge to the crypto-native space.

Ongoing Transaction Reconciliation

Beyond annual tax preparation, RKO Tax offers ongoing real-time transaction reconciliation throughout the year. This proactive approach helps clients stay ahead of tax season by continuously reviewing and categorizing transactions as they occur, reducing the complexity of year-end filings and enabling better tax planning and investment structuring.

Why Choose RKO Tax

RKO Tax bridges the gap between traditional Big Four tax expertise and the crypto-native community. They understand that crypto taxes are complex and that existing tax software can be daunting for many users. Their value proposition centers on direct, personal engagement with experienced tax professionals who are themselves passionate about crypto. Listed by Summ (formerly Crypto Tax Calculator) as a trusted crypto accountant, they also accept cryptocurrency as payment for their services.
