DIGITAL ASSETS + DEFI
We broke the trail. We stayed in the game.
This industry isn’t emerging to us.
When crypto and digital assets were still taking shape, we leaned in. We worked alongside clients as they entered public markets, built infrastructure, and navigated uncertainty in real time. While others stepped back, we stayed in it and grew with it. That experience shows up in how we work. We bring clarity to complexity, confidence to uncertainty, and momentum to businesses moving fast.

In a corner of the market where the rules are still being written, clients rely on Daniel for direct answers and a steady hand. He can go straight to the blockchain to test what happened, then explain it in plain terms.
Known for innovating alongside the companies he serves, he is a trusted guide through fast-moving frameworks like ASC 350-60. When he steps away, he is with his kids and dog, in a hot yoga class, or watching his teams.
