Complete Feature Overview
Everything you need for professional cryptocurrency tax calculations
PrivateACB unifies your entire cryptocurrency trading history into a single encrypted database, regardless of how many exchanges or platforms you've used.
The platform automatically imports transaction files from any source and reconciles different CSV formats, multiple currencies, and varying date conventions into one unified record. Our classification engine recognizes 60+ transaction types and instantly categorizes each into the correct tax treatment (Exchange, Income, Transfer, or DeFi). No manual tagging required.
Stop managing spreadsheets, manually categorizing transactions, and trusting cloud services with your private financial data. PrivateACB consolidates fragmented records across platforms and delivers tax-ready calculations automatically—all on your computer.
