ABOUT THIS OPPORTUNITY: 

Kruze Consulting is a boutique CPA firm that provides accounting, bookkeeping, finance, payroll, and tax services to over 800 startups backed by top-tier venture capital funds. We’re looking for a creative and passionate copywriter and marketer with an interest in startup accounting and finance to join our team as a Content Writer. This role requires refined skills in crafting engaging web content and copy-editing materials for social media and SEO performance. Ideal candidates will be enthusiastic about breaking down complex financial concepts like burn rate, R&D tax credits, and SAFE notes – making complicated finance and accounting concepts compelling to startup founders and discoverable on social media and web searches.  

 

Kruze Consulting is renowned for our expertise and has been regularly featured in prestigious publications such as Fast Company, Forbes, The Information, and The New York Times. Our tools and content are considered industry-leading by VCs and entrepreneurs alike. We take tremendous pride in creating and distributing content that startup founders find tremendously informative and helpful – it’s core to our brand and culture. If you are looking to expand your copywriting expertise in a company that is at the forefront of startup financial and accounting, this position offers a unique opportunity to grow professionally in a dynamic, entrepreneurial environment. This role requires lots of writing and copy editing, so if that’s your passion we want to hear from you! 

 

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. 

· High-Quality Clients – We work exclusively with venture-funded technology startups and early-stage companies who are creating some of the most exciting and transformative products and services in the world!  (We also have a “no jerks” policy; our clients treat our people professionally and respectfully.) 

 

NEED TO HAVE/POSITION REQUIREMENTS: 

· 1-3 years of full-time business copywriting experience (or 5+ years of part-time/freelance business copywriting experience) 

· Solid understanding of SEO and what makes B2B social media content compelling 

· Proficiency in Google Docs/Google Apps and Microsoft Office Suite (Word, PowerPoint, and Excel) 

· Excellent communication skills (oral and written) and a significant interest in finance and accounting 

· Interest in leveraging in-house and third-party AI tools to accelerate content creation processes 

· A self-starter who can work independently on their own initiative while identifying opportunities to add value 

· Meticulous attention to detail – able to follow through and execute on a high volume of nuanced tasks 

· Ability to work with a strong sense of urgency and autonomy in a fast-paced setting with a wide variety of tasks 

· Comfortable in a high growth environment that is still developing (read: sometimes chaotic/lacking structure) 

· Must be willing to work core business hours in your local time zone (approximately 8am to 5pm local time within the U.S.) 

 

NICE TO HAVE/POSITION PREFERENCES: 

· Bachelor’s degree in Marketing, Communications, English, Journalism, or equivalent practical experience 

· Experience in a professional service firm (accounting, consulting, marketing, law firm, etc.) 

· Experience with a deep tech stack including web CMS tools (we are always exploring and embracing new systems, it’s part of our DNA!) 

· Experience in a fully remote people-centric culture  

· Experience in a high growth/startup/entrepreneurial environment

A note of caution about remote work at Kruze Consulting:  

While it seems cool, it’s not for everyone. You must have the discipline, work ethic, healthy boundaries, work strategies, and emotional intelligence to work remotely. 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.
