These aren't hypotheticals. They're what founders, bookkeepers, and bitcoiners tell us at conferences and on calls, lightly edited, names left out. We take on every one.
"Transfers between my own wallets got tagged as sales. I overpaid taxes on coins I never sold."
Clams matches transfers automatically and carries the cost basis across. A move between your wallets isn't booked as a sale.
"I'm not handing my xpubs and my whole transaction history to a company's cloud. What if they get breached?"
You don't. Clams runs on your own machines or inside your own cloud. Your financial graph stays on your own infrastructure.
"The change and the fees never get categorized properly. The balance matches, but the books don't."
Real, UTXO-aware double-entry. Every spend, change output, and fee is booked, so the books actually balance.
"I've got years of Bitcoin activity across a dozen wallets and no clean record of what I paid for any of it."
We reconstruct your cost basis, wallet by wallet, valued at the price each coin arrived.
"QuickBooks can't do Bitcoin, so I manually reconcile my Bitcoin and my fiat accounts every tax season."
Bitcoin and fiat reconcile on their own, all year. Tax season stops being a fire drill.
"I re-explain every transaction to my accountant."
Add the context once, in notes and tags, and the reports explain themselves.
"Our spreadsheet became a homegrown system that is now a nightmare to maintain."
We help port it over to Clams, and it runs itself from now on.
"Accounting for Lightning is a huge unsolved problem for us."
Not anymore. Lightning is the part we've gone deepest on.
"Honestly, we have just been avoiding it. The longer we leave it, the messier it gets, and the audit risk grows."
Hand it over. We take it on, and it stops getting worse.
