Specialized Bookkeeping and Crypto Tax for Messy Records
Bugaboo Bookkeeping helps small businesses and crypto investors clean up incomplete records, reconcile complicated activity, and get financials ready for real decisions and tax filing.
Messy books are normal here. Missing crypto data is normal here. The goal is to get the records defensible, usable, and clean going forward.
Built for Cleanup, Catch-Up, and Complicated Crypto
Most firms are built for clean records. We are built for the files that are already messy, already behind, or already confusing.
Bugaboo Bookkeeping is a specialized bookkeeping and crypto tax practice serving Washington businesses and crypto investors nationwide. The work is remote, cloud-based, and focused on cleanup, reconciliation, and practical financial records that hold up under review.

Tired of Firms That Do Not Actually Get the File?
A clean-looking report is not the same thing as clean books. A crypto tax report is not reliable just because software generated it. We look under the hood.
Your accountant does not understand crypto
DeFi, staking rewards, bridges, wallet transfers, and cost basis methods get guessed at or skipped. That is where bad numbers start.
Your books are months behind
Transactions piled up, reconciliations stopped, and now the financials are not usable. We rebuild from where the records actually are.
Your prior bookkeeper disappeared
Half-finished cleanup, mystery balances, old A/R, stale liabilities, and uncleared transactions can all be worked through systematically.
Your software is giving false confidence
QuickBooks, Koinly, and CoinTracker are tools. They still need review, judgment, and reconciliation before the numbers can be trusted.
A Practical Start, Not an Open-Ended Mess
Cleanup and crypto work usually starts with a diagnostic because the scope is not obvious until the records are reviewed. Straightforward ongoing bookkeeping may start with a simpler intake review instead.
Review the Records
We look at the books, wallets, exchanges, files, or platform setup and identify what is complete, what is missing, and what cannot be trusted yet.
$500 diagnostic when neededDocument the Findings
You receive a written summary of what we reviewed, what we found, the major issues, and what needs to happen before the numbers are usable.
Quote the Next Step
Cleanup, catch-up, monthly bookkeeping, or crypto reconciliation is quoted after the scope is clear. No surprise hourly spiral.
The diagnostic fee is the only published project price. Ongoing bookkeeping and cleanup work are quoted based on the actual condition of the records.

Common Questions
Bugaboo Bookkeeping focuses on bookkeeping cleanup, ongoing bookkeeping, and crypto tax reconciliation. The firm is not trying to be a generalist accounting office. That focus matters when records are messy, crypto data is incomplete, or prior-year work needs to be reconstructed.
No. Cleanup, catch-up, and crypto tax projects usually need a diagnostic because the scope is not clear until the records are reviewed. Straightforward ongoing bookkeeping may start with an intake review instead.

The diagnostic includes a review of the records provided, identification of major issues, a written findings summary, and a recommendation for next steps. It does not include full cleanup, full reconciliation, monthly bookkeeping, or tax filing.
For bookkeeping, the primary platform is QuickBooks Online. For crypto tax work, the firm works with tools such as Koinly, CoinTracker, CoinLedger, ZenLedger, Awaken Tax, Summ, blockchain explorers, CSV files, and public wallet address review.
