KRUZE CONSULTING IS AN EQUAL EMPLOYMENT OPPORTUNITY EMPLOYER.

Kruze Consulting believes in diversity of thought as a competitive advantage to bring people together to build a culturally inclusive team. If you are smart, and good at what you do, come as you are. Diverse candidates (however you choose or choose not to identify) are encouraged to apply.

WHAT WE OFFER/WHY KRUZE CONSULTING:

· Fully Remote – We’ve completely embraced and invested in remote work and know the benefits. Save time, save money, and decrease stress. Our experience shows that remote work fosters a healthier work/life balance for our people. We do get together once a year for an annual offsite meeting, but in-person attendance is optional.

· Flexibility/Autonomy - Need to run to an appointment, your child's school, or just want to take a walk outside? No problem. If your clients’ needs are met and your work gets done on time, enjoy!

· Stability – While we serve startups, we aren’t one. We’ve been around for almost a decade enjoying controlled growth over that time. We don’t over-hire, and thankfully, we’ve never had to do a reduction in force. Our service offering is niche, accounting is essential to businesses, and the potential market for our services is diversified/vast.

· High-Quality Colleagues - We’re a diverse bunch, experts in our respective fields, and eager to help each other and clients. We care about each other as whole human beings.

While we strive for work-life balance at Kruze, this is still a fast-paced role that will require you to juggle many different projects and tasks. You must enjoy and thrive in this type of fast-paced environment.
