Kruze Consulting’s focus is providing accounting and tax services to venture funded startups, and our San Jose office works with some of the highest profile companies in the Bay Area.
We offer financial and accounting services for 800+ fast growing Seed, Series A, and Series B startups.
Founder & CEO Vanessa Kruze is a CPA, Deloitte Tax alumni, and former Controller of a 120+ FTE startup. We have a former VC who leads our clients in fundraising strategy. Our team of Staff Accountants and Controllers come from the Big 4, leading accounting firms, and top venture capital backed startups. Kruze serves venture funded startups in San Jose and Silicon Valley out of our offices in San Jose and San Francisco.
As an innovator in startup accounting services, Kruze, is your reliable partner in delivering not only accrual based financial statements monthly, but also assisting with tax filings and helping you prepare for VC due diligence. With a proven track record of serving VC-backed startups that have raised over $15B in funding, we fully understand what it takes to ace financial due diligence.
Cloud accounting services involve the provision of remote accounting, tax, and bookkeeping services through cloud-based SaaS software like QuickBooks Online. Opting for a provider like Kruze significantly reduces your expenses, enhances the quality of financial reporting, and primes your startup for complex accounting and tax due diligence. Furthermore, storing your accounting data in the cloud offers improved reliability, cost-effectiveness, and superior quality.
In addition to the regular bookkeeping tasks, accounting provides crucial information for informed decision-making. This includes helping startup founders understand vital metrics like your runway and burn rate. These are critical measures of how fast you’re expending funds every month, and how many months you have before your resources are depleted.
While many founders may handle their own accounting initially, it’s never too early to engage our professional services. We can help answer essential questions like the most suitable accounting method for your startup (we recommend accrual), and other specifics like the documentation needed for tax filings.
Trust Kruze, San Jose and Silicon Valley’s premier accounting firm, to guide your startup towards financial success.
