Interim CFO
Definitive Intelligence

As the Interim CFO of Definitive Intelligence, a Web3-focused company, I required top-notch, independent valuation services and immediately turned to Eton for their unparalleled service and expertise. I have worked with Eton on several other companies, including Notion, Preset, and Convex, across various valuation needs at different companies and have consistently been amazed by their meticulous approach, swift delivery, and cost-effective solutions for all projects. Eton has always gone above and beyond, offering a unique combination of valuation expertise, legal insight, experience liaising with the C-suites and boards of directors, and seamless collaboration with us on any post-valuation questions. The unparalleled level of comprehensiveness, precision, and reliability in their valuation and advisory services sets them apart from the competition.

Essential Web3 and Crypto-Related Asset Analysis Scenarios Include:

Fair Market Valuation of Tokens Issued as Compensation under IRC 409A: Tokens, including but not limited to, utility tokens, governance tokens, or protocol tokens can be used as an alternative to traditional equity, incentivizing employees with potential future value appreciation. IRC 409A requires that companies establish a consistent and reasonable method for valuing these tokens to avoid potential tax penalties or additional taxes for the employees.

Transfers of Token and Blockchain Assets for Estate Planning Purposes: A valuation is necessary when gifting a token or blockchain-related asset for estate planning purposes to determine the asset's fair market value, ensuring accurate tax reporting and compliance. Establishing a clear value helps avoid potential gift tax liabilities or disputes and enables a smooth transfer of wealth within the individual's estate plan, safeguarding their intended beneficiaries' financial interests.

“Fair Value” under Accounting Standard Codifications for Financial Reporting Compliance: A valuation of tokens or blockchain-related assets is essential for "Fair Value" under ASC sections 718, 820, and 805, to ensure accurate financial reporting, compliance with accounting standards, and transparency. Proper valuation helps companies measure equity-based compensation (ASC 718), define fair value measurement (ASC 820), and allocate acquisition costs (ASC 805) correctly, which supports informed decision-making by stakeholders and fosters trust in the company's financial statements.
