I'm very grateful for all the work that KBC did here at Webflow early on and beyond as the Company grew. As a first in-house CPA, I couldn't be happier with the state of the accounting I inherited and for all the help, knowledge and history about our financials during the time KBC and Webflow worked together. KBC team was also incredibly helpful while we transitioned accounting in-house - and that makes my job so much easier. I'd recommend KBC to anyone.

Derek Schlicker CFO/COO

"KBC was a critical and accountable team to run our accounting and financial reporting functions. They were able to quickly get up and running from our previous in-house controller, create great systems to optimize our processes, and standardize our reporting. During a pivotal time, KBC provided strategic advice around runway management through building and maintaining a short term cash flow forecast. Even through our acquisition process they stepped up to the challenge, and helped transition us into the new company. I happily recommend Bryan and his team to any company KBC works with!"

"KBC was our full service finance partner from day one through almost five years of growth. Their team provided excellent coverage of all accounting and compliance, including significant tax refunds via R&D credits. When it came time to pull their services in-house, they provided an absolutely seamless handoff. We are grateful for their service to Rhumbix!"
Jamie Specht Head of Finance & Accounting
“KBC team was particularly beneficial to us, as we needed a more senior consultant who could ramp up quickly and bring accounting expertise to the table, but who was also willing to roll up his/her sleeves and do the smaller tasks of a start up environment as well. We could not have transitioned CFOs in such a high growth period of our company without their support. Our consultant ramped up quickly, took over some key functions and helped to recruit our current controller and implement some key systems to enable us to scale.”
Ashley Johnson CFO & COO
Wealthfront
"The KBC team was instrumental to helping us build out our financial reporting and accounting functions. They became an integral part of our business and helped prepare us for monthly financial reviews with the Board and ongoing fundraising efforts.

We would highly recommend the KBC team to any start-up who needs financial, accounting and operational assistance."
Rachel Shipp COO

It was clear that Carolyn and the day-to-day team cared deeply about the quality of their work and that they were meeting our needs as a client. I would welcome the opportunity to work with KBC again in the future.”

"KBC was an invaluable partner for us. They handled our day to day accounting operations seamlessly across multiple complex revenue streams involving money movement and implemented processes and procedures to help build out our accounting function. Beyond the routine, KBC helped us navigate unique challenges the business presented, most notably multiple complex revenue streams that also impacted our balance sheet. KBC worked tirelessly with our internal team to review company data, implement processes and meticulously categorize a high-volume of transactions to ensure revenue was recorded accurately and that our financial statements were audit-ready. Most importantly, KBC felt like an extension of our team from day 1. Their responsiveness and dedication to client service was always appreciated. I highly recommend KBC!"
Reid Bartlett VP, Finance
Silo
“Our partnership with KBC was instrumental as we grew from a company with one full-time employee in 2015, to nearly 150 employees and three international subsidiaries when we brought our accounting and finance functions in-house 6 years later. In addition to helping us grow and expand internationally, KBC also assisted with multiple financing rounds, carried us through an initial audit, assisted with an ERP transition, and worked with us through the ups and downs that inevitably arise for a rapidly growing and constantly evolving business like ours. Beyond their technical and strategic aptitude, I especially appreciated their emphasis on client service, responsiveness and communication. It always felt as if they were a part of our team. I'd highly recommend KBC."
Spence Green CEO

"We worked with KBC during a critical 18-month period where our company was growing fast, and we needed quality monthly financial closings while we built up in-house finance capabilities. The service from KBC was amazing from the start. The partner Stan was readily available to discuss upcoming needs, add KBC staff when needed for projects, and he was a great partner to discuss/plan transition back in-house when we were at scale. One thing that was especially welcome was the quality of the accountants and analysts working on our account and especially the Account Leads. We placed high reliance on the KBC team to deliver quality and timely work and the external audit was seamless. I would recommend the KBC team to any fast growing start up."

“KBC was a valued partner from our first year in business through our acquisition by a multinational software company. KBC helped us to build the foundation and scale our finance function as the company grew. Carolyn and her team’s experience, guidance and on-demand-at-all-hours support during the transaction were critical to its overall success. I would happily recommend Carolyn and KBC to any growing company.”
Dan Bomze Founder

“I inherited KBC when I joined Tapingo and could not be happier. Our KBC team is highly-qualified, responsive, efficient and a pleasure to work with. They have provided us with critical accounting structure and guidance during our start-up and growth phases. And Carolyn has even made the transition to an in-house team easy by being flexible and accommodating with our timeline and needs. I highly recommend KBC to any start-up or small company looking for top-notch interim accounting and finance help.”
Bob Fiorella CFO
Tapingo
“Stan was willing to jump in on some issues we were facing with less than 48 hours notice and get an on-sight team completely spun up from scratch, and I will always appreciate that level of responsiveness. Since Stan and his team are startup people at their core, they understand that our world frequently changes on a dime, and then changes again. It’s rare to find someone of Stan’s stature who is not only willing, but is happy, to roll with that uncertainty.”

"KBC supported our company for 8 years from a Series B company with less than 50 people through to acquisition. They are exceptionally easy to work with, highly responsive and knowledgeable. The ability to scale their team as the company grows, tailoring the background of the team to the specific needs of the business, and bringing in temporary expertise for projects such as an ERP implementation is invaluable. It was a pleasure to have them by our side during the frenzy of the acquisition and I cannot recommend them highly enough."
Charlotte Bowell Director of Finance

"In the early days, KBC was instrumental in helping us scale our finance organization and operations. During an 18 month period of extremely high growth (both revenue and headcount), KBC helped us to optimize our systems and processes, better manage our growing compliance requirements and improve our departmental reporting and overall budget management. KBC certainly set us up for success as we began to build an in-house finance team. I would highly recommend them to any growing company looking for a top tier finance and accounting business partner."
Jonathan Stull President

"In our early days, we started to feel a bit of accounting pain – and I'm so glad we found KBC! They got everything in order, and have kept it that way for years. In addition to accounting, KBC did a great job of keeping us aware of upcoming deadlines and other accounting best practices. As our company and needs grew, so did they – when we raised money, any numbers we needed were an email away! I highly recommend KBC, no matter what stage you're at."

"Taking over our previous outsourced accounting firm, KBC helped us maintain our books and scale our financial reporting for 11 months while we focused on building an accounting team in-house. During 11 months of our rapid growth, KBC operated as an extended team of Open Space Accounting and helped bridge many functional gaps during our recruiting process for permanent roles. This includes AP, AR, and various technical areas, such as inventory, equity, and revenue. Some of the help KBC provided had become a pivotal foundation to get us prepared for our first year audit. KBC has knowledgeable leaders and a super-star staff who always went the extra mile for their client. We are very grateful!"
