Episode 43 | Geeth Jay from Cryptoworth on Data Complexities with On-Chain Transactions

Even if it’s relatively straightforward to export transactions from block explorers, how do you know for a fact that the data is complete and accurate? Block explorers have not been designed for accounting purposes, and turning the complexities of on-chain transactions into an enterprise grade data for your accounting is quite a challenge. Cryptoworth provides the operating system to convert the complex blockchain data from wallets, exchanges, and custodians into your accounting software to facilitate your reporting, audits and tax filings. Cryptoworth supports around 100 blockchains, 56 exchanges, over 700 DeFi protocols and has already onboarded more than 1,200 users using their platform. Their users include web3 industry leaders, including Aave, Axie Infinity, Celo, Moonbeam, Request Finance amongst others. On Episode 43, I spoke with its co-founder & CEO Geeth Jay .

#111: Becoming a Web3 CFO with Daniel Lian from fomo

Daniel Lian has built 3 crypto finance functions from scratch: at dYdX Labs , Walrus Foundation , and now fomo . Same job title, three completely different setups. At dYdX Labs, he was the first finance hire, building treasury from zero. At Walrus Foundation, it meant a multi entity foreign structure including a Cayman Foundation, a token airdrop, and grant programs. Now at fomo, who recently fundraised $75million through a Series B, there is no token or foundation, just a lean team building a social trading app. ✅ OUR RESOURCES 🌐 Join a global community of web3 accounting & finance professionals - ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠https://www.onchainfinanceinstitute.com/courses⁠⁠⁠⁠ 🤓 Join the FREE Crypto Accounting Class & learn how to start working in web3 accounting - ⁠⁠⁠⁠https://www.onchainfinanceinstitute.com/free-class⁠⁠⁠⁠ 🙌 Join the next cohort of the Crypto Accounting Academy and learn how to manage a business using crypto - ⁠⁠⁠⁠https://www.onchainfinanceinstitute.com/crypto-accounting-academy⁠⁠⁠⁠ 💎 Join the next cohort of the Crypto Treasury Management Academy and learn how to optimize, allocate and protect your organization's treasury - ⁠⁠⁠⁠https://www.onchainfinanceinstitute.com/crypto-treasury-management-academy⁠⁠⁠⁠ ✅ EPISODE SPONSORS 💰Request Finance - Simplify crypto AR, AP & accounting & get 2 months for free - ⁠⁠⁠https://www.request.finance/partners/theaccountantquits ⁠⁠⁠ 💰 The full-stack OS for Web3 businesses using Kryptos and 10% off (Code OCF10) - ⁠⁠⁠⁠ ⁠⁠⁠https://kryptos.io/?via=ocf-institute⁠⁠⁠⁠ ✊ Follow The Accountant Quits on Socials 👉 LinkedIN: ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠ ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠https://www.linkedin.com/school/ocf-institute⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠ 👉 Twitter(X): ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠ ⁠⁠https://x.com/ocfinstitute⁠⁠ 👉 YouTube: ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠https://www.youtube.com/@theaccountantquits⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠ 🎙️ Follow Episode Guest Daniel Lian: ⁠ https://www.linkedin.com/in/daniel-lian-3bbb9817/ 🎧 Website For show notes and past guests, please visit ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠https://www.theaccountantquits.com/podcast⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠ Topics covered: (0:00) Coming Up (2:27) Story behind joining dYdX (5:02) Challenges starting out at dYdX (8:32) Resources for learning onchain finance (10:14) Managing a token airdrop at Walrus (12:55) Get 10% off with Kryptos subledger (14:21) Differences between working for a Lab Co v/s Foundation (16:15) Setting up finance at fomo without a token (19:53) Where can finance leaders add more leverage (21:50) Ops challenges working for a trading app (24:01) Tech stack - subledger, custody & banks (26:33) Get 2 months for free with Request Finance (29:09) Tips on areas to address as a new hire (30:55) Capital allocation decisions (33:50) Web2 CFO v/s Web3 CFO (35:47) Career advice to transition into web3 (37:11) How are you using AI (39:51) Closing thoughts (41:09) Favourite quote (42:15) Reach out to Daniel

#105: Crypto Asset Management & Fund Accounting with Damon Xu from 1Token

Crypto funds trade across exchanges, wallets, custodians, and DeFi protocols. Trading may be easy but reconciling everything isn’t.

#104: The Modern CFO Stack: Stablecoins & Yield with Stepan Simkin from Squads & Altitude

Your CFO is not your CTO, and in web3, confusing the two can cost you. After scaling Squads into the leading multisig on Solana (securing $12B+ in digital assets), Stepan noticed something surprising: teams were using multisigs as their business bank account. Self-custody? Yes Operational efficiency? Not quite. And that gap led to Altitude. Altitude is a stablecoin-native finance platform combining payments (ACH, Wire, SEPA), treasury yield, AR/AP workflows, and soon corporate cards, giving companies global access without relying on a traditional bank. ✅ OUR RESOURCES 🌐 Join a global community of web3 accounting & finance professionals - ⁠⁠⁠⁠https://www.theaccountantquits.com/courses⁠⁠⁠⁠ 🤓 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 💎 Join the next cohort of the Crypto Treasury Management Academy and learn how to optimize, allocate and protect your organization's treasury ⁠⁠⁠⁠https://www.theaccountantquits.com/crypto-treasury-management-academy⁠⁠⁠⁠ ✅ EPISODE SPONSORS 💰Request Finance - Simplify crypto AR, AP & accounting & get 2 months for free - ⁠⁠ https://www.request.finance/partners/theaccountantquits ⁠ ⁠ 💰 The full-stack OS for Web3 businesses using Kryptos and 10% off (Code TAQ10) - ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠ https://kryptos.io/?via=ocf-institute⁠⁠⁠ ✊ 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 Stepan Simkin: ⁠⁠⁠ ⁠ https://x.com/SimkinStepan 🎧 Website For show notes and past guests, please visit ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠https://www.theaccountantquits.com/podcast⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠ Topics covered: (0:00) Coming Up (3:05) Stepan’s Background (4:46) Stablecoin Adoption (8:40) From Squads to Altitude (12:49) Using a self custodial ‘bank’ (16:12) Get 2 months for free with Request Finance (17:51) Stablecoin powered business banking (21:05) Yield on stablecoins (25:09) CFO’s due diligence (27:30) Privacy for payments (31:18) Privacy solution on Solana (32:19) Altitude Demo (35:42) Squads integration with Altitude (37:01) Onboarding to Altitude (37:33) Agentic automation workflows (40:28) Is Altitude for Solana users only (42:03) Accounting in Altitude (43:42) Closing thoughts (45:37) Reach out to Altitude
