It also offers DIY taxation management solutions for retail investors.
The platform has integrated with 100+ exchanges including Coinbase, CoinDCX, Binance, WazirX and many others.

Our team has carefully designed solutions to address the needs of both the CA community and Crypto investors at an economical rate.”
Avinash further stated,
“The platform has witnessed great traction from both businesses and consumers and expects over 1mn report filings in this tax season.”
