Case Study
Cinder Technologies
Cinder Technologies partnered with Kruze Consulting to claim significant R&D tax credits, resulting in substantial savings for their growing startup.
"Our lead venture capital investor, Accel, suggested that we get some accounting help, and they recommended Kruze Consulting, along with some other firms. Kruze just really stood out. I found the content on their website answered a lot of questions that I had. And a big part of the decision was meeting the Kruze team. They’ve done this before, and they have a lot of experience."
