FAQs
Companies
Accounting firms
Is Puzzle a better alternative to QuickBooks?
Yes. Building agents and workflows on top of legacy solutions like QuickBooks or Xero is limited by their API, losing the productivity promise of AI. By building our own agentic platform and a modern general ledger together, we are able to offer accounting accuracy and speed at unmatched standards. Learn more about how Puzzle compares to QuickBooks. Learn
how Puzzle compares to QuickBooks
.
How fast can I close the books each month with Puzzle?
Puzzle accelerates month-end close by drafting categorization and reconciliations during the month and flagging exceptions early, so founders and finance teams can focus on review instead of reconstruction at period end.
Which tools does Puzzle integrate with?
Puzzle integrates directly with popular startup finance tools
and converts their transaction data into reconciled general ledger entries and financial statements. For example:
Payments and revenue from Stripe
Spend from Ramp and Brex
Banking and payroll from Mercury, Gusto, and Rippling
‍
Does Puzzle replace my accountant?
No. Puzzle automates 85-95% of the repetitive work behind the books, keeping your financials current. Early-stage founders can often run their books with Puzzle alone. As the company grows, many startups still work with an accountant to review the numbers before sharing them with investors, or the IRS.
How does Puzzle calculate burn rate and runway?
Puzzle calculates burn rate using net cash outflow and calculates runway by dividing current cash by average burn. Because transactions update continuously, burn and runway update in real time without waiting for month-end reporting.
Can I get cash and accrual financials in Puzzle?
Yes. Puzzle supports both cash and accrual accounting from the same underlying ledger. This allows startups to manage runway in a cash view, while producing accrual financials for investors.
How long does Puzzle onboarding take?
Onboarding involves connecting financial accounts, mapping your chart of accounts, and validating opening balances so that the reporting reflects your business structure. You’ll be ready to go after a few steps:
Connect banks and core finance tools
Map accounts and categories once
Start current-period books right away
‍
Can Puzzle help me keep my books ready for fundraising?
Yes. As you go into fundraising, you can stay confident by knowing your numbers and understanding the key drivers behind your business. Puzzle provides the financial metrics needed for due diligence, with a network of on-demand experts available anytime.
‍
How does Puzzle help accounting firms manage many clients efficiently?
Puzzle supports accounting firms managing multiple clients, each with separate ledgers, integrations, and reporting environments. Standardized workflows allow firms to scale without duplicating manual effort.
Separate environments per client
Easily customizable charts of accounts
Centralized oversight for firm partners
How does Puzzle improve firm margins?
Puzzle improves firm margins by reducing manual categorization, reconciliation, and cleanup hours, allowing teams to shift time from production work to advisory services.
Calculate your firm’s potential revenue impact
.
How does Puzzle support Client Advisory Services (CAS)?
Puzzle supports Client Advisory Services by keeping books continuously updated and enabling real-time cash, runway, and spend analysis.
What types of clients is Puzzle best suited for?
Puzzle works across many businesses, but it is especially well-suited for companies using modern finance tools like Stripe, Ramp, Brex, and Mercury. Firms working with high-transaction, high-growth clients benefit from Puzzle’s continuous reconciliation and exception-based review.
Why are modern accounting firms moving away from QuickBooks?
Many firms built their workflows around QuickBooks. As client transaction volume grows, firms often spend more time stuck in repetitive work instead of advising clients. Puzzle automates preparation throughout the month so accountants stay in control while focusing on analysis and client guidance.
How does Puzzle compare to Digits?
Digits is designed as an autonomous ledger. The goal is for the system to run accounting largely on its own. At Puzzle, we follow a different philosophy. We believe
the future of accounting is AI-powered, human-led
. Our platform handles repetitive preparation work like categorization and reconciliation, while accountants stay focused on review, judgment, and advising their clients.
How transparent is AI activity inside Puzzle?
Puzzle uses Governed Automation, meaning AI prepares the work while accountants maintain control over the outcome. Every automated action is traceable, reviewable, and editable before financial statements are finalized.
Is Puzzle secure and SOC 2 compliant?
Yes. Puzzle is SOC 2 compliant and built with enterprise-grade security controls, including role-based access, encryption in transit and at rest, and full audit traceability of user activity and approvals.
What are accounting AI agents and how do they work in Puzzle?
AI agents are programs that execute accounting workflows automatically,handling tasks like reconciliation, categorization, and exception detection based on rules you define. In Puzzle, AI agents handle the repetitive execution of your month-end close. You describe the workflow, the agent does the work, and nothing posts to the ledger without your approval.
What is AI Close?
AI Close is the first agent builder built directly into the General Ledger, designed specifically for accounting firms. You describe your close workflow the way you would explain it to someone on your team. Puzzle turns that into a custom agent that drafts reconciliations, flags variances, and prepares journal entries, all for your review. Nothing posts without your sign-off.
