If you're looking for a full stack solution for your startup, consider Kruze Consulting. I'm the founder and a CPA, and I’m pretty sure we are the largest CPA firm 100% dedicated to VC-backed startups in the US, with two offices in the SF Bay Area (SF and San Jose). Of course, we don’t need to see anyone in person - in fact, we’ve been providing cloud/remote accounting services to startups for over 8 years, and have the tech stack and team of experienced startup accountants to serve founders anywhere in the US. Here is a short summary of why your startup should work with us:

• We love startups. In fact, we only work with venture-backed Delaware C-Corps. Beware of other shops that work with all kinds of businesses; this is akin to the restaurant in the touristy parts of town that advertise that they can serve sushi, burgers, pizza, and burritos. There’s no way you can do all of that well. We’ve got a focused team that knows what VCs and acquiring companies look for in startup’s books, plus know how the tax code can help founders get tax credits from the federal and local governments (more about that in a moment).
• We provide Bookkeeping, Finance, Tax & HR all in one back office solution. Working with one accounting and finance team keeps your life streamlined. Founders tell us everyday how much this helps them during VC due diligence and at tax time - don’t waste your time playing phone tag with a tax guy and your bookkeeper; one email or call to our team takes care of it.
• We believe in software and automation. Not only have we built our practice on using the best of breed accounting partners such as QuickBooks, Gusto/Rippling, Brex/Ramp, Rho/Mercury, Avalara, and Bill.com, to name a few - but we’ve also built in house automation technology that helps our team be more efficient. That save you money and time!
• We charge a Fixed Fee for the Monthly Close. If you need more help - like assistance with workers comp audit - we’ll quote that out separately. Bottom line is that there are no surprises on your bill. Our prices start well under $500 for most seed stage companies. And since we’ve got the bench of CPAs to grow with you, we can scale as you scale.
• We're a lot more than just accounting. We build world-class financial models that have been used to pitch (and secure millions in funding) from premier VC firms and top angel investors. We also provide industry-leading CFO services. Our clients have raised over $10 Billion - that’s BILLION with a B! - and work on ~1 acquisition every month.
• We are a startup tax credit leader. We know startup tax credits, and our startup accountants have helped our clients get over $50 million in tax credits and government incentives to reduce their burn. Plus, since we are a CPA firm, our work is ready to go before the IRS.
• We're a team of seasoned Accounting & Finance professionals: I'm a CPA, Deloitte Tax alumni, and was the Controller of a 120+ employee startup. Our COO Scott Orn is a Kellogg MBA, former VC Partner at Lighthouse Capital Partners, and before that was an investment banker at JPMorgan. Our VP of FP&A Healy Jones is a Wharton MBA, former VC, and before that was an investment banker at JPMorgan.
• We look to partner with our clients. It's not just about churning out financials, we make ourselves available to talk with you about where you are now and where you'd like to be. We've found that one of the biggest factors in making a startup successful is their network. So we provide introductions to mentors, investors, and fellow entrepreneurs. We're in this together.
