Prager Metis CPAs, a leading accounting and advisory firm with offices in North America, Europe, and Asia, is proud to accept Bitcoin and Bitcoin Cash as payment through BitPay, the largest global blockchain payments provider.

The ability to accept Bitcoin and Bitcoin Cash as payment positions Prager Metis to not only expand new customer acquisition opportunities but also seamlessly operate in the digital world.
