Noah Buxton

CEO of LedgerLens (TNF Tech & Services)

Noah is the CEO of LedgerLens, a suite of crypto audit tools, with over 15 years of experience in audit, IT audit, and regulatory compliance, specializing in digital assets since 2016.

During his time as an IT auditor in public accounting, Noah tackled the challenges of auditing crypto companies—running nodes, extracting blockchain balances, and verifying customer ownership. While he developed solutions within a Top 20 accounting firm, he saw that most auditors lacked these resources, creating barriers to servicing the growing crypto industry.

This realization inspired Noah to create LedgerLens, empowering auditors with the tools needed to serve the crypto space effectively. Having worked with hundreds of digital asset clients, Noah uses his expertise to address key crypto auditing challenges.

Along with creating LedgerLens, Noah contributes to the future of the profession by serving on the AICPA’s Digital Assets Working Group and leading The Digital Chamber’s Accounting Taskforce.

Through LedgerLens, Noah continues to drive innovation and trust in digital asset assurance.
