Testimonials
Knowing that what is being shared is the most updated knowledge on these topics is of great value. All classes were interesting together with additional resources to dig deeper. Other than that, all instructors had a great attitude and content.

It is a leap of faith to invest AUD3,000 in a course and hope to get a good ROI. On the whole, the course exceeded my expectations, and the instructors & content were fantastic. I thought the sessions with a practical element (using sub-ledgers, multisig wallets) were very insightful.
Matthew O'Brien

@SnapShot Web3 Advisory
As a crypto startup founder with an engineering background, I initially found myself without a CFO or accountant knowledgeable in handling crypto assets. After selling that company, I remained deeply involved in crypto, finance, accounting, and taxation. This led me to take the course to deepen my understanding. I expected to pick up a few new tricks, but the experience far exceeded my expectations. It significantly expanded my perspective, giving me a completely new mindset. I highly recommend this course to any accountant or auditor working with crypto clients. It's also invaluable for CFOs from fiat-only backgrounds who are preparing to embrace crypto.

I thought that all the instructors did an awesome job. Mackenzie's material on crypto taxation was the most relevant to my company's focus and so that was super helpful. I thought she did an excellent job of teaching and explaining the concepts in a clear and easy-to-understand way.
The course delivered as expected. Did feel pricey at first, but the content turned out to be worth it because it's all from the industry executives.
I highly recommend this course to anyone seeking to enhance their proficiency in crypto accounting and mitigate financial risks in this rapidly evolving industry. It has been an enlightening journey for me.

"I thought that the course was well put together and the topics had a wide breadth for both crypto/non-crypto native students and accounting/non-accounting finance professionals. I would recommend the course to others even if they have some domain expertise. For me, it was insightful to see what others are doing and how they treat/interpret things because we are in a space that moves faster than legislation and guidance."
