"Kruze spun us up in QuickBooks Online out of a definitionally non-auditable home-brewed system in a matter of weeks, and did so with an attention to detail that allowed us to pass a Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (PCAOB) audit – the first in company history – within six months. I highly recommend Kruze for any growth stage CFO or controller."
"Kruze has saved us a lot of time and tens of thousands of dollars, if you look at the difference between hiring a full-time employee versus a resource like Kruze. If I started another company, one of the first things I’d do is bring in Kruze."
