Puzzle

Puzzle is an AI-native accounting software that automates bookkeeping and provides real-time financials.

Puzzle is an AI-native accounting software designed for startups and small businesses to automate bookkeeping and generate real-time financials. It features AI agents that handle categorization, transaction matching, and reconciliation continuously rather than at month-end. Users can chat with the platform in plain English to get answers about cash flow, burn rate, and runway. It integrates natively with tools like Stripe, Brex, Mercury, Ramp, Deel, Gusto, and Rippling to keep data clean and accurate at the source. Startups can use the software independently or bundle it with vetted accounting partners who close the books monthly.
