The story

Founded 2018 in Sydney as Crypto Tax Calculator, differentiated by focusing on DeFi/decentralized-exchange tax reporting rather than only centralized exchange trades. Expanded to the US in 2022 and secured embedded-partner status with MetaMask and Coinbase. Rebranded in 2025 to Summ (CTC Ledger) as it pushed into business/accountant workflows with QuickBooks and Xero integrations, positioning itself as a crypto sub-ledger for businesses rather than only a consumer tax tool.
