INDIVIDUALS
Your history has gaps
Exchange exports disagree, transfers do not match, or older purchase records are missing. Often it shows up as a blank cost basis on Coinbase or a 1099-DA.
BasisRestore
For Coinbase and Binance users
Missing cost basis on Coinbase or your 1099-DA? I rebuild the paper trail.
If your exchange shows missing purchase history, or transfers that do not match, I rebuild the trail from your exports and hand you one clean, documented file for your accountant or tax software.

ACCOUNTANTS
A client's ledger needs a paper trail
You need a documented source map, visible assumptions, and a list of open questions before you decide the tax treatment.
Tax season 2027
Your 1099-DA often leaves out what you paid.
Brokers started sending Form 1099-DA for 2025. Many show what you sold but not what you paid, especially for coins bought before 2026 or moved in from another wallet. A blank basis does not mean you paid nothing, but you will need your own records to show what you paid. Your accountant or tax software decides how to report it.
- Bought before 2026? Basis may be blank.
- Moved coins in from another wallet or exchange? Basis may be blank.
- Bought and kept on one exchange in 2026? The form may show basis.
What you receive
An Evidence Pack another human can follow.
A reviewable record of what changed, why it changed, and what still needs a decision. Nothing is hidden. Open a sample pack (fictional data).
01
Reconciled ledger
Normalized supported records with source references.
02
Source map
What was received, used, missing, or left outside scope.
03
Decision log
Human-reviewed changes and the reasoning attached to them.
04
Open-items list
Questions and evidence gaps that still need a client or adviser.
How it works
Four clear steps. In writing.
We confirm fit and scope before asking for payment or evidence.
01
Qualify
Tell us the years, sources, approximate volume, and what appears to be wrong.
02
Diagnose
For an accepted case, we map gaps, blockers, and the evidence needed before reconstruction.
03
Reconstruct
Supported records are normalized and matched with assumptions kept visible.
04
Hand off
You receive an Evidence Pack for review with your accountant or adviser.
Qualification coverage
Start with the sources I can handle well.
I confirm exactly what I can rebuild in writing. A source on this list is a starting point, not a promise that every export format or transaction type is supported.
01
Coinbase CSV
Supported case by case when the file matches the verified Coinbase Retail Transaction History contract.
02
Binance CSV
Specific spot-history exports are supported after case-specific secure intake is enabled.
03
Public wallet addresses
Qualified as public evidence only; no wallet access, credentials, or custody.
04
Manual opening lots
Qualified for documented source notes and visible unresolved assumptions.
Launch scope covers supported exchange CSVs, public wallet evidence, and manual opening lots. Complex DeFi, NFTs, bridges, and protocol-specific tax classification require separate review and may be declined.

- Never share a seed phrase or private key.
- Never share an account password, session cookie, one-time code, or recovery code.
- Never share an API credential with trading, transfer, or withdrawal permissions.
- The public qualification form accepts metadata only; real transaction files use a separate case-specific process when available.

Questions before you start
Clear boundaries are part of the service.
Is this tax preparation?
No. I organize records. Your accountant decides how to report them. More on the methodology page.
Do I need to book a call?
No. Qualification, clarification, scope confirmation, and case updates can happen in writing.
Can you handle every exchange or DeFi protocol?
Not at launch. We confirm exact source coverage during qualification and decline work that cannot be handled responsibly.
Should I send files with my first message?
No. The public form is metadata-only. If the case fits, evidence collection is a separate private step.
