You do the tax, we do the digging
Crypto record reconstruction and reconciliation for New Zealand accounting firms.
Fixed prices. Five day turnaround.
CALL US WHEN:
The software's answer is wrong. Transfers between the client's own wallets counted as sales, two tools giving two different numbers from the same file.
The data is messy. Broken transaction exports, exchanges that don't agree with each other, or years where nothing was recorded at all.
The exchange is gone or wallet is missing.We rebuild what the bank records and the blockchain can prove, and document what can't be.
The quote scares the client off. Priced honestly, crypto work comes in high enough that clients can walk. At a fixed price, it stays affordable, and the relationship stays yours.
The grunt work is ours. The judgement stays yours.
WHAT YOU GET
A confidence flag on every row, taken directly from a source record, calculated from one, or reconstructed.
A reconstruction register listing every gap, the evidence used to fill it, and the reasoning behind it.
Every transaction in one consistent format, converted to New Zealand dollars.
A balance check proving the numbers hold together, so nothing is unaccounted for.
A yearly gains position, ready for review.
A single workbook your team can file from.
HOW IT WORKS
1. Tell me what the client has
A short call or an email. I'll tell you what can realistically be rebuilt and quote a fixed price for the whole job. No charge, and no obligation.
2. Data collection
Once you're happy with the quote, I send instructions specific to each exchange and wallet, not a generic checklist. Data is collected through encrypted services and working files are stored offline on encrypted drives. Read-only exports and public addresses only, never private keys, seed phrases or logins.
3. Reconciliation
Everything is rebuilt and cross-checked by hand: duplicate rows, transfers between the client's own accounts, missing cost base, closed exchanges. If anything needs clarifying I come back once with a single list rather than a series of emails.
4. Delivery
Five working days once collection is complete. You get the workbook, the source files, and a list of anything left for you to decide. Invoice to you or direct to your client, whichever suits the relationship.
No chasing exports. One hand over, then we take it from there.
Priced before any work starts.
No hourly billing.
No revised invoices.

ABOUT ME
I'm Pavel Kvatch, based in Auckland and working nationwide.
This started with my own crypto records. I ran them through three well-known tax tools and got three different answers, each off by thousands. On a straightforward file with complete records and nothing exotic. If a file like that gave me that much trouble, plenty of people are filing numbers that don't hold up. So I rebuilt it properly, traced every figure back to its source, and found I was good at it.
I studied accounting at university, but my working background is data management in film. Working in VFX, handling how camera and shot data moves between systems from production through post. Thousands of files, dozens of handoffs. One mismatch anywhere and it surfaces weeks later.
Finding it is never a hunch. It's working back through every step until the break shows itself, then building a check that catches it next time. Crypto records need exactly the same approach.
What I'm offering is the thing I wanted when I started, someone to take the mess and hand back something clear, priced so it’s worth doing rather than avoiding.
Frequently Asked Questions
-
Four steps. Book a review, a short call to talk through what your client has and where the gaps are. I then send a list of exactly what to gather from each exchange and wallet, with instructions specific to those platforms rather than a generic checklist. Once the records come back I confirm a fixed fee before starting any work, then reconcile everything manually and return a workbook with the source files attached, plus a list of anything left for you to decide.
-
Usually a week from complete records. If something's missing I'll tell you early rather than let it sit.
-
For two clean exchanges, the software is fine and I'll say so. I ran my own records through three of them, one was within half a percent, one was out by $27,000, one was three times off. Same files. Nothing in the output tells you which one you're holding.
-
No. We are not a tax agent, don't prepare returns, and don't deal with Inland Revenue. Every judgement call is listed with the amount at stake and left with the accountant.
-
Every workbook shows my figures agreeing with each exchange's own records, with the formula to reproduce them from the source files, which are included.
-
Usually they're just hard to find. Blockchain history is permanent. Bank statements show what was paid. Closed exchange, and the counterparty's records normally fill the gap. Where something can't be recovered I say so and set out the options.
-
As far as needed. Multi-year catch-ups are common and each additional year costs a fraction of the first.
-
Everything stays confidential and isn't shared without written consent. Data is collected through encrypted services, and all working files are stored offline on encrypted drives.
I only ever ask for read-only exports and public wallet addresses. Never private keys, seed phrases or exchange logins.
