What Crypto Tax Australia does

Crypto Tax Australia is a Melbourne-based CPA Practice founded in 2017 by Adrian Forza, positioned as Australia's first 100% cryptocurrency-specialised accounting firm. The firm delivers a six-service suite anchored by crypto tax reporting, tax structuring and planning, SMSF setup and compliance for crypto-holding super funds, income tax return preparation across individuals/trusts/companies/SMSFs, business accounting and advisory for crypto-accepting businesses, and forensic accounting and expert witness support for accountants, solicitors, and ATO audits. Its operational backbone is a proprietary in-house reconciliation engine capable of processing up to 3 million transactions per client across 100+ DeFi applications and multiple L1/L2 chains including Solana, Base, and Bitcoin Ordinals.

The business model is professional-services-based with a sales-led go-to-market: a free initial discovery consultation converts into paid engagement scoped by transaction volume and complexity, with no publicly disclosed pricing. Customer acquisition runs through SEO-optimised educational content, conference presence (Australian Crypto Con 2023/2025), YouTube and Twitter Spaces thought leadership, CPA Australia commentary, and a network of eight industry partners — including Swyftx, Ainslie Wealth, MiningStore, and Beat the Reset — that route referrals. Every accountant on staff maintains an active personal crypto portfolio across DeFi, NFTs, gaming, and exchanges, supplying practitioner-level expertise that generalist firms cannot match.

Operationally the firm remains lean, with a small core team concentrated at its Pascoe Vale South headquarters and cumulative outputs of 10,000+ crypto tax reports and 200M+ transactions reconciled since inception. Distribution is strictly domestic (Australia only), revenue is non-recurring and tied to crypto market cycles, and there is no disclosed external funding, M&A activity, or technology platform play beyond the internal reconciliation stack.
