Testimonials

After the session I had a twelve-page document listing every address, device, and backup location. My accountant in Seoul used it directly for the year-end filing. The four hours felt long at the time, but I have not had to dig through old notebooks since.

Eun-ji found that one of my metal plates had a partially obscured word — the third letter of word fourteen was worn from storage in a humid closet. Caught it before it became a real problem. The inventory review alone was worth the fee.

I asked them to prepare a briefing for my daughter. The document was clear enough that she understood the structure without me revealing any keys during the meeting. The only drawback was scheduling — we waited three weeks for an opening.

My Trezor Model T was running firmware from 2022. They walked me through the update in the office and documented the before-and-after versions. Straightforward session, though I wish they had a branch closer to Incheon.

Extended Client Story

Reconciling Five Years of Accumulation

Client: Min-jun K., independent consultant, Busan Session: Annual Offline Wallet Audit Wallets: 2× Ledger Nano X, 1× Coldcard MK4, 1 paper backup (legacy wallet)

Min-jun had been accumulating Bitcoin since 2019 across devices purchased at different times. Each purchase came with its own backup routine — one metal plate in a bank safe deposit box, one encrypted USB in a home safe, and a paper backup from his earliest wallet that he had not verified in three years.

During the audit session, we mapped each device to its addresses, confirmed on-chain balances, and discovered that the paper backup corresponded to a wallet with a small remaining balance he had forgotten about. The reserve summary consolidated five years of ad-hoc record-keeping into a single document.

Min-jun noted afterward that the session surfaced one backup location he had not checked in over a year. He now schedules a mid-year seed phrase review as a supplement to the annual audit.

Preparing for a Family Conversation

Client: Sarah L., physician, Seoul Session: Seed Phrase Inventory Review Wallets: 1× Trezor Model T with passphrase, 1× multisig setup (2-of-3)

Sarah’s primary concern was not balances but backup integrity. She used a passphrase on her Trezor and wanted confirmation that her metal backup matched the device before storing it in a new location. The two-hour session verified word counts, checked engraving depth on her Cryptosteel capsule, and documented the passphrase entry procedure without ever requesting the passphrase itself.

Sarah described the experience as slower than expected — the multisig portion required extended discussion — but appreciated the methodical pace. She booked the full annual audit for the following quarter.
