Streamlining Crypto Accounting at Scale

Managing cryptocurrency payments and accounting across 200 wallets, multiple entities, and various blockchains sounds like chaos. And for this research-driven group focused on governance, decentralisation, and technology, it was.

That is, until they adopted Request Accounting.

The platform helped them reduce their month-end close time by 90%, provided a unified portfolio view across blockchains, and streamlined vendor payments.

With seamless ERP integration, flexible reporting, and strong customer support, Request became their all-in-one solution for crypto finance operations.

The Complexity of Decentralised Operations

This research collective operates at the cutting edge of decentralised governance and emerging technologies.

By nature, their work spans multiple projects, each with different legal entities, operational teams, and financial structures.

But this flexibility came at a cost.

At one point, the team was managing up to 200 active wallets across a variety of blockchains; resulting in a manual, fragmented, and time-consuming month-end close process.

They needed more than just visibility. They needed:

• A single source of truth across all wallets and chains
• A way to standardise crypto accounting and outputs
• Reliable, fast, and accurate reconciliation workflows
• A solution for working with vendors not yet crypto-native

Solution

Request Accounting delivered exactly what the team was looking for.

With its multi-chain support, real-time portfolio dashboard, and automated reconciliation features, Request Accounting became the backbone of their crypto finance operations.

In particular, it helped them:

• Reduce manual work by 90% during month-end close
• Gain a real-time portfolio view to monitor liquidity
• Automatically reconcile transactions with control accounts
• Standardise cryptocurrency reports for internal and external needs
• Streamline vendor payments in multiple fiat and crypto currencies

Why Request Accounting?

When comparing tools, the team chose Request for several reasons:

• Exchange support: Unified views across wallet and exchange accounts
• Flexible reporting: Custom outputs tailored to project, legal, or accounting needs
• Great support: A responsive team that collaborates on real feature needs
• Fair pricing: A structure that works well for project-based organisations‍
• ERP integration: Plug-and-play compatibility with their systems

And perhaps most importantly, the platform is simple and intuitive. After a brief onboarding session and demo, the team was fully operational: managing reporting and payments with greater speed and accuracy than ever before.

Results

The impact was immediate and measurable:

• 90% reduction in monthly close time
• Streamlined cross-border vendor payments
• Consolidated visibility across 200+ wallets and exchange accounts
• Unified crypto reporting for decision-makers
• Increased trust in financial data to inform critical strategic decisions

Today, the team relies exclusively on Request for all crypto reporting and the majority of its crypto payments.
