FAQs

Is Puzzle a better alternative to QuickBooks?

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.

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.
