Who is Darien Advisors?

Darien Advisors exists because digital assets broke the old tax and accounting model.

Wallets replaced bank statements. Token grants replaced the simple W-2. DAOs replaced org charts most firms still assume exist.

Most firms responded by bolting a narrow crypto tax tool onto a practice built for the old world.

We built Darien for the new one.

Built to Grow with You

Darien is a full tax and accounting practice that happens to be fluent in crypto.

But our crypto fluency isn't our ceiling. It's the floor everything else stands on. We handle individual returns, entity work, funds, DAOs, token issuers, structuring, and advisory. All under one roof. We're the people who read a transaction hash the way other firms read a bank statement.

Darien serves two kinds of clients, and often both at once.

Individuals: founders sitting on unvested tokens and 83(b) elections, high-net-worth families protecting generational wealth, active traders and DeFi users, DAO contributors paid across chains and borders, globally mobile clients structuring exposure across jurisdictions, and people trying to file crypto correctly for the first time.

For individuals, the work ranges from on-chain reconciliation and a full 1040 to personal entity structuring, pre-liquidity planning, retirement and trust planning, charitable giving, global residency planning, and IRS resolution scoped to how much representation you actually need.

Entities: Web3 startups raising their first round, venture funds administering capital, DAOs and foundations operating without a finance team, node operators and miners, infrastructure builders, and the AI and frontier tech teams building the next layer of the stack.

For entities, the work ranges from recurring bookkeeping and tax filing to a full-stack accounting function that unifies fiat and crypto treasury: fixed-scope sprints for reorgs and M&A, token issuance and TGEs, comp structuring, treasury management, entity design, R&D tax credits, and an embedded finance function for teams that need a controller and CFO without hiring one.

Every relationship starts somewhere foundational. A first individual return becomes pre-liquidity planning ahead of a token unlock. A first set of clean books becomes a fractional CFO relationship. As portfolios and companies mature, so does our work.

Most firms hand you off when your situation outgrows them. We built Darien to grow with you.

The Commitments

Four things stay the same, regardless of how complex the engagement gets.

1. Fixed fees, published up front, so you know what something costs before you ever pick up the phone.
2. One integrated engagement, so your tax, books, and advisory live in a single relationship instead of three firms that don't talk to each other.
3. A named senior advisor on every account, not a rotating ticket queue.
4. Forward planning, because reconciling last year's transactions is table stakes. The real value is what we help you avoid next year.

We've spent the last five years building this quietly, client by client, engagement by engagement, alongside some of the best protocols and businesses in the space (our partners). This is us saying it plainly, once, in full:

Darien Advisors is a tax and accounting practice for people and companies with digital assets, and we're just getting started.
