    #96: Building an Enterprise Grade Crypto Accounting Software with Kryptos

    Should a crypto subledger do more than just bookkeeping and reporting? Kryptos began as a retail-focused crypto tax tool. Today, it has evolved into an enterprise-grade accounting platform, offering not just bookkeeping, but also treasury management, token vesting, payroll, invoicing, audits, and even proof-of-reserves. On Episode 96, we spoke with Sukesh Tedla, CEO of Kryptos, to discuss their leap from consumer to enterprise, the hurdles of adoption, and how automation and AI are reshaping the future of crypto accounting ✅ OUR RESOURCES 🌐 Join a global community of web3 accounting & finance professionals - ⁠⁠⁠https://app.theaccountantquits.com/ ⁠⁠⁠ 🤓 Join the FREE Crypto Accounting Class & learn how to start working in web3 accounting ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠https://www.theaccountantquits.com/free-class⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠  🙌 Join the next cohort of the Crypto Accounting Academy and learn how to manage a business using crypto ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠https://www.theaccountantquits.com/crypto-accounting-academy⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠  ✊ Follow The Accountant Quits on Socials 👉 LinkedIN: ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠https://www.linkedin.com/school/the-accountant-quits⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠  👉 Twitter(X): ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠https://x.com/accountantquits⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠  👉 YouTube: ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠https://www.youtube.com/@theaccountantquits⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠  🎙️ Follow Episode Guest Sukesh Tedla: ⁠https://www.linkedin.com/in/sukeshtedla/ 🎧 Website For show notes and past guests, please visit ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠https://www.theaccountantquits.com/podcast⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠  Topics covered (0:00) Coming Up (1:54) Why launch a subledger (3:20) Using Kryptos SDK (7:43) Retail tax calculators switching to enterprise (11:01) Enterprise v/s retails sales (12:04) Custom enterprise requirements (14:19) All-in-one subledger (16:21) Partnerships & integrations (17:22) Get 2 months for free with Request Finance (19:01) Kryptos Enterprise demo (29:09) Pricing (32:05) AI-powered crypto accounting (34:35) Adoption of crypto in Sweden (36:39) Closing Thoughts (38:22) Reach out to Sukesh

    #92: Web3 Incorporation in Panama (A Legal Guide)

    Web3 is global, but where you set up your company matters. One growing hotspot is Panama. Panama doesn’t have specific crypto laws yet, so Web3 projects don’t need special licenses. It’s unregulated, but still legal. Plus, there’s 0% corporate tax on foreign income, making it a great place for innovation. To break it all down, I’m joined by Edgar Young, Partner at Pacifica Legal, a firm that’s helped over 270 Web3 companies incorporate in Panama. ✅ OUR RESOURCES 💌Join our weekly free newsletter and become a confident web3 Accountant ⁠https://www.theaccountantquits.com/newsletter⁠ 🤓 Join the FREE Crypto Accounting Class & learn how to start working in web3 accounting ⁠https://www.theaccountantquits.com/free-class⁠  🙌 Join the next cohort of the Crypto Accounting Academy and learn how to manage a business using crypto ⁠https://www.theaccountantquits.com/crypto-accounting-academy⁠  ✊ Follow The Accountant Quits on Socials 👉 LinkedIN: ⁠https://www.linkedin.com/school/the-accountant-quits⁠  👉 Twitter(X): ⁠https://x.com/accountantquits⁠  👉 YouTube: ⁠https://www.youtube.com/@theaccountantquits⁠  🎙️ Follow Episode Guest Edgar Young: https://www.linkedin.com/in/dr-edgar-young-773a86218/ 🎧 Website For show notes and past guests, please visit ⁠https://www.theaccountantquits.com/podcast⁠  Topics covered; (0:00) Coming Up (0:51) Episode intro (2:35) How Pacifica Legal started (5:53) Panama’s crypto evolution (7:42) Tax environment in Panama (13:17) Tax obligations for founders from Panama (18:38) Thanks to our sponsor Octav (20:20) Token launch setup with SPV & Foundation (24:24) Controlling interest in subsidiaries (26:07) How funds flow between entities (26:56) Setup time & costs (27:51) Sociedad Anónima vs. Foundation (33:20) Bearer shares in Panama (35:42) DAO setup in Panama (38:14) DAO distributions to token holders (39:14) Thanks to our sponsor Request Finance (40:53) Panama v/s Cayman Foundations (45:12) Ownerless Foundation in Panama (47:11) Reputation risks (50:56) Crypto-friendly banks (55:19) Going bankless?

    #91: DeFiBank for Enterprises with Jozef Vogel, COO of EtherFi

    Banking has always been about trust and control. Neobanks upgraded the user experience, but the system remained centralized. Now, we’re in the third wave: DeFi banks, a non-custodial, blockchain-based, and fully user-controlled. Leading this shift is EtherFi, offering a seamless way to save, earn, and spend without traditional banks. Think fiat on/off ramps, asset deployment into BTC, ETH, stables, staking, swapping, and more all in one place. Jozef Vogel, COO of EtherFi, shares how finance professionals can start using these tools in their day to day business. ✅ OUR RESOURCES 💌Join our weekly free newsletter and become a confident web3 Accountant https://www.theaccountantquits.com/newsletter 🤓 Join the FREE Crypto Accounting Class & learn how to start working in web3 accounting https://www.theaccountantquits.com/free-class  🙌 Join the next cohort of the Crypto Accounting Academy and learn how to manage a business using crypto https://www.theaccountantquits.com/crypto-accounting-academy  ✊ Follow The Accountant Quits on Socials 👉 LinkedIN: https://www.linkedin.com/school/the-accountant-quits  👉 Twitter(X): https://x.com/accountantquits  👉 YouTube: https://www.youtube.com/@theaccountantquits  🎙️ Follow Episode Guest Jozef Vogel: https://www.linkedin.com/in/jozefvogel/  🎧 Website For show notes and past guests, please visit https://www.theaccountantquits.com/podcast  Topics covered; (0:00) Coming Up (0:31) Episode intro (2:38) ether.fi’s growth to $6.8B TVL (6:47) Ether.fi as a DeFiBank - save, earn, & spend (12:32) Thanks to our sponsor Octav (14:15) Ether.fi’s liquid vaults for DeFi rewards (16:20) Onboarding for institutions (18:12) Use cases for off ramping product (20:34) ether.fi’s business model & why DeFi can outperform TradFi (23:59)  Transparency in DeFi  (25:15) Subledgers for public DeFi reporting?

    #90: Token Launch & Valuation with Neil Thakur from Teknos Associates

    In practice, token launches are often delayed, and that can slow down the entire roadmap of a web3 project. Once there’s a traded price for a token, it’s difficult to walk it back. Post-launch valuations are often magnitudes higher than pre-launch ones. That’s why valuation reports have a limited shelf life, and why getting it right matters. My guest is Neil Thakur, Managing Director and Founding Member at Teknos Associates, a crypto valuation & advisory firm. If you’re in the middle of launching a token or structuring your SAFT with lawyers and advisors, this episode could help you avoid some costly mistakes. ✅ OUR RESOURCES 💌Join our weekly free newsletter and become a confident web3 Accountant ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠https://www.theaccountantquits.com/newsletter⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠ 🤓 Join the FREE Crypto Accounting Class & learn how to start working in web3 accounting ⁠⁠https://www.theaccountantquits.com/free-class⁠⁠ 🙌 Join the next cohort of the Crypto Accounting Academy and learn how to manage a business using crypto ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠https://www.theaccountantquits.com/crypto-accounting-academy⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠  ✊ Follow The Accountant Quits on Socials 👉 LinkedIN: ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠https://www.linkedin.com/school/the-accountant-quits⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠  👉 Twitter(X): ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠https://x.com/accountantquits⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠  👉 YouTube: ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠https://www.youtube.com/@theaccountantquits⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠  🎙️ Follow Episode Guest Neil Thakur: https://www.linkedin.com/in/neilkthakur/ 🎧 Website For show notes and past guests, please visit ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠https://www.theaccountantquits.com/podcast⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠  Topics Covered: (0:00) Coming Up (0:59) Episode intro (2:49) When to get a token valuation & pitfalls (9:14) Shelf life of a token valuation report (11:25) IP valuation & transfer pricing issues (16:04) Transfer pricing for LabCo, Token SPV & Foundation (18:47) Thanks to our sponsor Request Finance (20:27) Token grants & valuation (24:27) Differences with  common option grants (27:42) Checklist for  structuring token grants (31:16) Tax savings through 83b election filing (38:02)  Pricing methodologies for a token pre-launch (44:00) Thanks to our sponsor Octav (45:40) What if you forgot to file a 83(b) election (48:05) Donations and gifting with HNW individuals (50:31) M&As in web3 & valuation issues (53:49) Provisions for protection against token considerations for M&As (55:19) Level 2 and Level 3 crypto assets (01:00:40) Overview of Teknos Associates services (01:04:33) Onboarding of a client (01:07:35) Services after a token launch (01:09:31) Closing thoughts (01:12:26) Reach out to Neil
