Scott Orn, COO, Kruze Consulting

Scott Orn, COO of Kruze Consulting, provides his unique perspective as a leader in the financial hygiene space for startups. Kruze has become a leading finance advisory firm for many startups helping with best practices around financial controls, planning, taxes and PPP. Often their teams play the critical roles of interim Controller, Head of Tax, or even CFO in delivering a startup's first finance executive output.

We have seen in many ways Kruze and Hitch have similar business approaches in working with startups to advise and de-risk a company's growth by helping to establish best practices in finance and security. In the past we have dug in pretty deep on the striking changes we are seeing with the CISO's elevated scope and level of communication to the E-suite and BoD. Today we wanted to take a moment to get perspective outside the world of security by seeing what the world of financial hygiene for startups has looked like during the pandemic.
