Crypto Experiential Tour for Accountants & Advisers

Our 6 week program prepares SME accountants, advisers and bookkeepers to confidently discuss cryptocurrencies and digital assets with their clients. With 10 CPD hours certified on completion.

“I have no idea what you are talking about”... Feeling out of your depth as an adviser when it comes to cryptocurrencies and other digital assets? You’re not alone! Seeing is understanding, learning is by doing. The decentralised digital economy is still in its early days, and everyone is on a steep learning curve.  Accountants need a head start!

This is not another crypto tax workshop. This is an experiential tour - with a crypto-experienced SME accountant, intended to make complex topics visible and easier to understand, and relateable to familiar concepts.

You will learn by doing. 

o by transacting with minor sums to experience first-hand where and how our clients move crypto around

o or, alternatively, just watch our demonstrations to relate the processes to your clients' activities

Your learning experience will be enhanced by: 

o webinar recordings,

o cutting edge Web 3.0 cryptotech startups explaining their business models,

o basic step-by-step guides to navigate trading exchanges, digital wallets and accounting software, 

o weekly quizzes (with multiple attempts allowed), and
