Doug Knopper, Co-Founder & CEO of Freewheel.

“I have recommended Kranz to several of my portfolio companies to provide full service CFO/Finance support, as well as consulting on seeking and structuring venture debt. In each case they have delivered excellent results with a qualified, professional, ethical & cost effective team.”

Pete Solvik, Managing Director of Sigma Partners.

“Kranz is a true value add to my organization, giving us the peace of mind, we need to run our business. Every member of the accounting team is technically smart, collaborative and customer service oriented. Weekly meetings with our CFO and team provide real-time transparency and line of sight into our financial operations. We very much appreciate the partnership knowing we have such sound financial stewardship.”

Amit R. Patel, Controller of Axiado

“Working with Kranz has been a game changer for my business. Our CFO advisor is a true business partner, adept at decision-making and highly adaptable. His CFO’s subject matter expertise and well rounded industry insight provides a layer of financial and strategic acumen that is tremendously valuable to us particularly as we navigate the current macro environment. He has also been a great coach and mentor to members of our finance and accounting teams, making them far more productive in their roles.”

Mondy Herndon, CEO of JOLYN

“At our earliest stages, Kranz was a bedrock service partner that provided the essential block-and-tackling that we required. Thereafter, their depth of resources enabled us to continue scaling our business with maximum efficiency. I now view Kranz as a strategic resource partner that enables flexibility as we scale our international enterprise, serving thousands of customers globally. I really don’t envision a time when we won’t utilize Kranz as a critical function of our Accounting and HR functions.”

Caleb Stevens, VP Finance, Tray.io Inc.

“I’ve worked with Kranz during the early stages of my startup at 3 companies over 15 years.  It’s great to have a resource I can rely on to jump in to help with the finance tasks so I can focus on the rest of the business.  I particularly appreciate Kranz’s proactivity and efficiency!”

Laura Yecies, President and CEO for Bone Health Technologies, Inc.

“Kranz is incredibly reliable, dedicated, and resolves issues both efficiently and painlessly. The team is instrumental to our success every step of the way. Our Kranz team is an advisor on all business needs, beyond just accounting and bookkeeping.  Operating a startup can be tough at times, but I know that Kranz’s Finance and Accounting team will always have our back!”

Allison Howard, COO,  Alta Reality, Inc

“From start to finish, Kranz provides sound financial advice and their in-depth knowledge. Their experience was critical in operating a business. Working with Kranz’s easy accounting process was reliable and responsive and they consistently closed books on time. Kranz consultants are more than accountants, they are partners.”

Nelo Inc.

“Kranz has been an incredible partner since day 1 of founding Maple VC. As a solo-GP managing multiple institutional funds with over 100 LPs, I wouldn’t be able to operate without them. Their full service support is invaluable – they truly act as core members of my team with a dedicated CFO, Sr Accountant and Accounting Manager that I can rely on at any time. I have trusted them for nearly 7 years and feel super privileged to have them on my side in building a top-tier franchise.”

Andre Charoo, Founder & Managing Partner, Maple VC

“Kranz has been a trusted and valued partner as our third-party administrator since 2016. Throughout this time, our dedicated team has adapted quickly to our ever-changing needs, continuing to provide timely and accurate access to data. Their willingness to go above and beyond, on a consistent basis, is an exceptional contribution to our business.”

Zalia Aliriza, Operational Partner, CFO, CCO, Blockchain Capital

“I have been thoroughly impressed with the accounting and CFO advisory services provided by Kranz specialists. Their expertise has been a valuable supplement to our organization, confirming our valuation conclusions and providing in-depth research and advice on technical audit issues. They have been a trusted advisor on all LP and GP related questions and have provided a thorough review of our fund financials and partner allocations. With Kranz specialists on our team, I have complete confidence in the accuracy of our investor reports. Their attention to detail, deep industry knowledge, and unparalleled customer service have made them a valuable partner to our firm.”
