ht.digital has announced its expansion into the United States, marking a significant step in the firm’s growth and international development within the digital asset assurance space.
As part of this expansion, Kevin Fitzgerald, CPA has joined the firm as Partner, bringing over a decade of Big Four experience working at the intersection of institutional finance and digital assets. His expertise spans onchain accounting, regulatory compliance, and audit-grade financial reporting, having advised major financial institutions navigating the complexities of digital asset adoption.
Kevin joins as a founding member of ht.digital’s US leadership team, supporting the firm’s entry into a market where regulatory clarity is evolving and institutional participation continues to grow. His appointment reflects the firm’s focus on delivering structured, audit-led solutions to clients operating in increasingly complex digital asset environments.
The expansion builds on ht.digital’s established presence in the UK, where the firm has developed a reputation in digital asset assurance. Its service offering includes institutional readiness, transforming onchain data into audit-ready financial reporting under GAAP and IFRS standards; proof of reserves for exchanges and market participants; operational assurance for foundations; and assurance services supporting the tokenisation of real-world assets.
With a growing global client base, ht.digital’s move into the US market reflects increasing demand for robust, independent assurance frameworks to support institutional investment in digital assets.
The firm’s model combines technical accounting expertise with proprietary technology designed to operate at the pace and complexity of blockchain-based systems.
The US expansion represents the next phase of ht.digital’s development, positioning the firm to support financial institutions, exchanges, and asset managers as digital assets continue to integrate into mainstream financial markets.
