FAQs
We think so, along with many of our customers who migrated from QuickBooks to Puzzle. Puzzle is an AI-native accounting software that provides continuous reconciliation and a faster month-end close. Puzzle drafts categorization and reconciliation work throughout the month. This allows companies to always see their current burn and runway. Learn how Puzzle compares to QuickBooks.
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.
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
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.
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.
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.

Puzzle supports Client Advisory Services by keeping books continuously updated and enabling real-time cash, runway, and spend analysis.
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.
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.
