What do Kruze Consult’s clients have to say?

“We're huge fans of Vanessa and the folks at Kruze Consulting. They set up our books, finances, and other operations, and are constantly organized and on top of things. As a startup, you have to focus on your product and customers, and Kruze takes care of everything else (which is a massive sigh of relief). I highly highly highly recommend working with Vanessa and her team.”
Vivek Sodera
Co-Founder @ Superhuman

"I literally love the Kruze team. Every part of it. Everyone on the Kruze team cared deeply about our success. Kruze helped us all the way through our journey - from our seed round to our A to our eventual acquisition by a public company. Real professional tax and due diligence advisory made all the difference. I highly recommend startups choose Kruze for the consulting you’ll need as you raise venture capital, grow and get ready for a big exit."
