Summary
A crypto tax practitioner turned founder describes an attestation firm where AI agents prepare the work and he urges new accountants to work alongside AI.
Cameron Browne, who started his first crypto accounting practice after receiving the Uniswap airdrop in 2020, now runs Soteris Labs, which he calls an agentic attestation firm. He says it does the financial reporting and disclosure work associated with firms like KPMG, EY and PwC, but with AI agents.
From airdrop to practice
Cameron Browne traces his move into crypto accounting to the Uniswap airdrop. Back in 2020, he says, he reasoned that if he had questions as a tax professional about how it was taxed, 99.9% of Americans did as well. That led him to found Darien Advisors, a practice doing compliance and advisory work.
“I got the Uniswap AirDrop. Back in 2020, I was like, if I have questions on how this is taxed to tax professional, 99.9% of Americans do as well. We got a business baby. So once I first practiced, Darian, doing compliance, advisory work”
An attestation firm with agents
Soteris Labs is the next step. Cameron Browne describes it as an attestation firm handling "financial reporting, disclosures" work that the large accounting firms would do, "just with some agents."
On the technical side, Browne says Soteris Labs built a data agnostic layer that its agents run on. Whether the data comes from MCP and CryptoWorth or from Awaken or Xome, he says, the firm does not much care what the data is.
Where humans fit
Cameron Browne summed up his view of AI in accounting with the line that "AI prepares" while humans carry the work forward. He described it as a summary of his position on how the two divide the work.
He calls himself a former "neo Luddite" who was slow to adopt AI a couple of years back. His advice to new accounting graduates is to learn how to work differently: dive into judgment work and complex scenarios, and figure out how to work with AI in the best way possible, augmenting themselves.
Taken together, Cameron Browne presents Soteris Labs as a continuation of the work he started at Darien Advisors: bringing established accounting practice to crypto, with agents handling the preparation, a data layer that does not depend on any one source, and people focused on judgment.
