The Best Funded Startups Trust Kruze

Our clients have secured over twelve billion dollars in seed and venture funding; close to three billion in the past year alone. Top tier VCs trust our clients' books, and Kruze knows how to prepare startups' financials for VC due diligence. Our clients know that they'll be ready for their next round.
Successful Exits Every Month
On average, one to two of our clients are acquired every month. Our team has experience producing accounting and tax due diligence requests for the biggest public companies. Every month we help founders navigate the most important transaction of their life.
$100+ million in Tax Credits
Kruze is a leader in R&D tax credits and other tax incentives for VC-backed startups. Our clients are receiving close to $40 million per year in tax credits (cash from the IRS!), and hundreds of funded startups trust Kruze to deliver the right advice, at a reasonable price.
Due Diligence Success Stories
When early-stage companies get acquired by massive public companies or sophisticated venture capitalists, they need specialized accounting and finance help.
With Kruze on your side, your team will have the numbers – and advice – you need to survive due diligence with your valuation intact.
