Accountants

Tax & Portfolio Tool for Accountants

Automated cost basis, wash sale detection, and clean transaction exports — so your clients' tax prep takes hours, not weeks.

The Problem

Challenges accountants face with their finances

  • Clients bring in messy 1099-B forms from multiple brokerages with inconsistent cost basis data
  • Crypto transactions are the worst — clients have trades across 5 exchanges with no unified record
  • Wash sale calculations across multiple accounts require manual cross-referencing
  • Clients don't categorize expenses during the year, creating a categorization backlog at tax time
  • No single tool handles both traditional investments and crypto with proper cost basis tracking

How Clarity Helps

Specific solutions for accountants

Unified Cost Basis

Problem: Messy multi-brokerage 1099-B data

Clients connect all brokerages to Clarity, which unifies trade history and calculates consistent FIFO cost basis across every account.

Crypto Tax Tracking

Problem: Chaotic crypto records

Full exchange sync via CCXT plus on-chain wallet tracking. Every trade, swap, and transfer is logged with proper cost basis.

Wash Sale Detection

Problem: Cross-account wash sales

Automated wash sale detection across all connected accounts — traditional and crypto. Disallowed losses are flagged and adjusted.

Auto-Categorization

Problem: Expense categorization backlog

Smart merchant categorization runs all year. By tax time, transactions are already sorted into Schedule C-ready categories.

Key Features

FIFO Cost Basis Engine

Automatic lot-level cost basis across stocks, ETFs, crypto, and options with FIFO matching.

Wash Sale Detection

Cross-account wash sale identification with automatic basis adjustment on replacement shares.

Tax Report Export

Transaction Categorization

“My crypto-heavy clients used to be a nightmare. Now I have them connect everything to Clarity and I get clean cost basis data with wash sales already flagged. Saved me 40+ hours last tax season.”

James L.

CPA, tax practice owner

Frequently Asked Questions

Does Clarity generate IRS-ready tax forms?

Yes. Clarity generates Form 8949 and Schedule D reports with proper FIFO cost basis and wash sale adjustments. Export as PDF for filing or CSV for import into tax software.

How does Clarity handle crypto cost basis?

Clarity tracks every trade, swap, and transfer across connected exchanges and wallets. FIFO lot matching is applied automatically, including wash sale detection on substantially identical crypto assets.

Can multiple clients use Clarity?

Each client creates their own Clarity account and connects their own institutions. You can recommend Clarity to clients as a pre-tax-prep tool that ensures clean data before they come to you.

Does Clarity support LIFO or specific identification?

Clarity currently uses FIFO (First In, First Out) as the default cost basis method, which is the IRS default for securities. Additional methods are on the roadmap.
