The Internet Changed Accounting. Web3 Will Do It Again
🎙️ Episode Summary
“Bitcoin is accounting. And accounting is Bitcoin.”– Electra Frost“We’re not here to work for the government. We’re here to work for the people.”“In the early 2000s, accountants led the way on cloud. Web3 is no different—we need to lead again.”“If you’re still calling yourself a digital accountant but don’t understand blockchain, you’re not a digital accountant anymore.”“Decentralisation isn’t about chaos—it’s about co-creating standards that work globally.”
In this debut episode, host Trent McLaren sits down with Electra Frost, a pioneering Web3 accountant and founder of ElectraFi, to explore how blockchain and decentralised technologies are transforming the accounting profession. From her unexpected journey—from punk rock drummer to crypto tax expert—to living on an island at the forefront of the Network State movement, Electra shares a radically new perspective on the role of accountants in the digital age.
Whether you're crypto-curious or Web3-wary, this episode lays the foundation for how accountants can reclaim their role as advocates, educators, and infrastructure builders in an increasingly decentralised world.
- Web3 isn’t just tech—it’s a values shift. Decentralisation isn’t a buzzword. It’s a redesign of trust and how we collaborate, and accountants are uniquely positioned to lead.
- Blockchain is accounting tech. Electra believes Bitcoin is the “ultimate accounting ledger”—accountants just haven’t realised it yet.
- Your clients are already in Web3. If you’re not asking the right questions about crypto use, you may already be behind.
- CPD is broken—open source is the future. Electra’s building tools like CREDU to put verifiable expertise and credentials on-chain.
- Digital accountants need to evolve. Cloud tech is table stakes. If you’re not learning blockchain and crypto, you’re no longer ahead.

Electra Frost is a Web3 accountant, educator, and founder of ElectraFi, a practice specialising in crypto tax, blockchain-based business models, and digital asset strategy. An early adopter of Bitcoin since 2013, Electra now consults with firms and founders at the frontier of decentralised finance.
She’s also the founder of CREDU, a blockchain credentialing platform for CPD, and a cohort member at The Network School, where she explores the intersection of accounting, digital sovereignty, and reputation on-chain. Through her initiative Bit by Bit, she’s helping accountants globally map Bitcoin principles to their own skillsets—and step confidently into the future.
