I currently work with several startups where I assist with all things accounting, finance, & HR, including: interim CFO services, series A funding, annual taxes, cap tables, debt financing, 409A reporting, FP&A, budgeting, cash flow management, board financials & meetings, bookkeeping, QuickBooks, Xero, Zenpayroll, Zenefits, Paychex, ADP, AR, AP, onboarding & terminations.

Vanessa is amazing. I trust her with everything!

Vanessa is a lifesaver whom I trust absolutely to handle the most complex of financial, tax, and payroll questions. Vanessa’s rates are very competitive and she has actually ended up saving me a ton of money by automating various parts of our small business. We interviewed a lot of people before deciding to go Vanessa and hired her based on her impeccable references and innovative ideas. She has done such a fantastic job that my only regret is not hiring her sooner.

Vanessa is a must have team member for any startup. We are a year old startup based in Palo Alto and had not really maintained our books since we started. Vanessa jumped right in did our bookkeeping, financial statements, taxes, payroll, W2s and 1099s in two weeks flat! She is a true professional and a joy to work with. Startups are never taught operations and accounting and I’m glad to have found her to help us through our early days. I highly recommend her for your CPA/​CFO needs.

Vanessa is amazing! There are tons of people out there like her (i.e. the industry is commoditized) yet there is NO ONE out there like her (i.e. she provides incredible quality service that is differentiated from the market). Her niche is working with small startup companies as their CFO (handling everything from accounting, bookkeeping, payroll, etc). This is a CRITICAL function for any company, and yet it is not a core competency of most companies at this stage. So she meets a really important need for companies at a key stage of their growth. What also sets her apart from other providers is that she does EVERYTHING and does it INCREDIBLY WELL! In short, she does not only the functional tasks of accounting and bookkeeping, but also provides thought leadership to put companies on the right trajectory in their business. No other providers that I interviewed had the same quality of work coupled with the thought leadership that Vanessa provides. She’s amazing and if you’re an early stage small business, I highly recommend Kruze Consulting. You’ll thank yourself later when you save yourself time and pain down the road.

I’m a big fan of Vanessa. Running a start-​up is always difficult, you’re always juggling 250 balls. What you need is people who know their job, so that you can just delegate it to them and consider it done. And Vanessa was that miracle for us on the accounting side. She dealt with everything that came up, including non-​conventional compensation structures, managing the books, filing paperwork to the government. She’s extremely professional with her work and we trust her fully when it comes to anything in accounting.

I run a small biotech startup in San Francisco. We have increasingly complicated funding, pulled in from multiple sources. Vanessa straightened out our accounts within weeks and set up cost allocation across projects. She works behind the scenes on the books, payroll, taxes, and any other odd accounting needs that come up. With Vanessa getting the job done in the background, my time is freed up to focus on growing the business. Vanessa is awesome!

Kruze Consulting is highly recommended! Great service — Fast, professional, and dependable.
There are not words grand enough to express how much I enjoy working with Vanessa and her fantastic team.
Every time I see Vanessa, I always have a long list of questions that seem difficult to handle. However, she always answers them with ease. She has a creative yet practical mind that helps you go forward with the best course of action for your accounting needs. Unlike many other tax professionals, she’s embraced modern technology and can get things done with very little face time.
Vanessa, thank you so much for your hard work!

I’m a big Vanessa Kruze fan.
I manage a small business and am basically a sole proprietor. Vanessa manages all my books and keeps everything tight. I save receipts to Dropbox, give her read-​only access to my bank, and that’s it. I get accurate financials.
She’s always on time, is super responsive, and doesn’t overbill. Using Vanessa is kind of a no-​brainer.

We’re a fast growing healthcare technology nonprofit in Austin, TX.
Vanessa and her team has been so reliable and friendly with all of our accounting. If they are accepting new clients, I highly recommend booking something asap.
Working remotely with them has not been a problem. Her firm is super tech-​savvy.

I have only positive things to say about Vanessa of Kruze Consulting. She’s extremely professional with her work and knows the accounting business really well. When we were looking for an accountant, we wanted to find someone we could completely trust and not worry about any legal formalities — be it formalities with the IRS or payroll management. We were quite lucky to find her and trust her fully with these things.
I highly recommend her for your accounting needs.
