Accounting and CFO Expertise in Multiple Startup Industries

Kruze’s CFOs, tax CPAs, controllers and bookkeepers have deep expertise in the most important startup industries, from biotech to ecommerce to SaaS and beyond.

Our team provides online bookkeeping services to hundreds of funded startups and high-growth companies, and our experience in specific industries sets up apart from both traditional accountants and automated solutions.

Learn more about our online offerings for specific, high-growth industries below - or get in touch with us to learn more.

Ecommerce - Accounting, Tax and CFO services

Online bookkeeping and CFO services for high growth ecommerce companiesOnline bookkeeping and CFO services for high growth ecommerce companies

High growth ecommerce companies require more than just simple financial statement preparation and tax returns.

Cash flow forecasting based on inventor trends, state and local taxes, SKU level analysis, the nuances of Amazon vs Shopify vs Paypal, gross vs net revenue - all of these complications require an experienced accounting team. Just like your ecommerce customers expect a great online experience, our outsourced bookkeeping and CFO team will produce your financial statements online.

Learn more about Kruze’s ecommerce accounting practice.


SaaS - Accounting and more for high growth SaaS companies

Enterprise SaaS, small business SaaS, consumer SaaS, app store SaaS - they’re all different, and we’ve worked with hundreds of SaaS companies, delivering high quality books, tax advice and CFO level advice.

SaaS companies should look for online bookkeeping solutions that are paired with experienced SaaS accountants. That’s because not all accountants know how to correctly recognize SaaS revenue and expenses. Many online bookkeepers fail to correctly identify contract lengths, discounts and more. And when the MRR and ARR numbers don’t match the books, VCs get concerned.

Learn more about Kruze’s SaaS accounting practice.

Biotech - bookkeeping, accounting and cash management support

Bookkeeping, accounting and cash management support for biotech companiesBookkeeping, accounting and cash management support for biotech companies

Biotech companies bookkeeping and accounting needs are extremely specialized.

Managing cash burn and taking advantage of government tax incentives can’t be automated; your biotechnology startup needs experienced healthcare and drug development accounting advice.

As your biotech company is getting ready to head through FDA and government trials and certification, you’ll want to work with an experienced CFO who can help you anticipate the costs and possible bottlenecks.

And your online bookkeeping needs to be both fast and accurate, so you can carefully manage your burn rate as you develop your drug.

Learn about our experience running accounting for biotech startups.


Hardware startups - bookkeeping, inventory accounting and more

Inventory accounting, build of material calculation and working capital constraints make even early-stage hardware companies complex from an accounting and bookkeeping perspective.

Kruze’s team works with agtech, healthcare, direct-to-consumer and other hardware startups, helping the founders understand their cash flows and prepare for venture capital rounds. We have a number of “hardware as a service” clients that combine SaaS revenue streams with hardware.

Building a physical product is hard enough - work with an accounting firm that can help you focus on your technology and not your books.

Learn about our experience running accounting for hardware startups.

Building a startup is hard enough - but layering on the complex regulatory environment and difficult purchasing cycles of the healthcare industry adds a whole new level of complexity.

Founders of healthcare startups deserve an accountant who has seen the healthcare startup journey more than once and who can offer valuable guidance and advice.

From claiming R&D tax credits to accurately projecting cash burn, the Kruze team is ready to support your healthtech company.

Our online bookkeeping will help you understand where you’ve been, and our outsourced CFOs can help you visualize where you are going.

Startup CPG company accounting

Fast growing CPG companies should have specialized accounting help to deal with complex issues related to inventory, BOMs, gross vs net revenues and more.

Kruze’s team has worked with food startups, supplement providers, subscription fashion and more. And we know that high growth comes with its own problems, especially understanding how inventory and manufacturing impact cash flow and getting a handle on customer acquisition costs.

Getting a new product in the hands of consumers is hard. Don’t let your accounting distract you!
