Better metrics mean better decisions
Better metrics mean better decisions
Solid, reliable metrics are the lifeblood of most startups that end up being successful.
Our approach ensures that founders receive clear, comprehensible financial data that offers them actionable insights.
This lets our founders make informed decisions swiftly—whether it’s deciding how many new hires to make, managing cash flow, or strategizing for growth. By providing metrics that matter, we set our clients up for better strategic planning and increased attractiveness to potential acquirers.
2.
Diligence ready
Diligence ready
Our clients are diligence-ready, meaning they're prepared when potential acquirers (or VCs) start showing interest.
We ensure that all financial records, compliance documents, and tax filings are properly filed and ready for inspection.
This not only speeds up the acquisition process but also builds confidence with potential buyers, demonstrating a well-managed, stable business ready for a seamless transition.
In our experience, many deals, both M&A and VC funding, come together quickly, and the best founders are ready to jump into diligence. That’s our job - to make sure financial diligence is ready to go asap.
Looks like we are doing a good job!
3.
Get acquired early
Get acquired early
Most companies that get acquired do so before the B, when they are still using an outsourced accountant like Kruze.
According to the 2018 incorporated startup data from Carta, the majority of M&A exits occur before Series B funding rounds—150 out of 161, to be exact.
Early in a startup’s lifecycle is where Kruze shines - our ICP is from the pre-seed to the Series C.
Our specialized support in accounting, finance, and tax services during the early stages of a startup’s life cycle places our clients in an optimal position for an acquisition.
You won’t believe how intense the tax diligence is when you sell your startup to a major tech company, even if it’s only a $50 million dollar exit!
Having the right partner at the earliest stage matters.
4.
Being operational and attractive for acquisition
Being operational and attractive for acquisition
Our clients were more likely to raise Series A and B - see the first two points.
Our clients have a higher track record of securing Series A and B funding than the average startup company in Carta’s data set.
So not only are they more likely to still be in business to get acquired, they are also more likely to have attractive operational metrics, which correlates with a greater likelihood of being operational and attractive for acquisition.
5.
Kruze clients are just better
Kruze clients are just better
This one isn’t something we can “do” for our clients - we just happen to have VCs refer the companies they like in their portfolio to us.
And founders who organically find us are the ones who are actively looking for an accounting partner who can give them better metrics.
These combine to make our clients, well, better, than the average startup. And creates a self-selecting ecosystem of high-potential, driven startups primed for success.
Solid, reliable metrics are the lifeblood of most startups that end up being successful.
Our approach ensures that founders receive clear, comprehensible financial data that offers them actionable insights.
This lets our founders make informed decisions swiftly—whether it’s deciding how many new hires to make, managing cash flow, or strategizing for growth. By providing metrics that matter, we set our clients up for better strategic planning and increased attractiveness to potential acquirers.
