FAQs

Why is Puzzle better for startups than other solutions like QuickBooks?

Puzzle is built for founders by founders to help you build a better startup. We help you scale by…

  • Simultaneously generating cash accounting (what you want) and accrual accounting (what accountants want) in a single solution
  • Key financial insights such as cash, burn, runway, ARR/MRR, spending and revenue insights, and cash monitoring
  • More time growing your business with confidence, less time preparing your financials
  • Intuitive onboarding with on-demand accountants ready anytime
Does Puzzle replace my bookkeeper?

No. Puzzle automates 85-95% of the repetitive tasks performed by your bookkeeper. However, it does not eliminate the necessity of having a professional review your books before submission to the IRS, investors, or other trusted partners. Our guided bookkeeping experience helps you draft solid, actionable financial statements and may lessen the need for an expert early on, but as finances become more complex, professional expertise will still be required.

How does Puzzle keep me tax-ready?

Puzzle provides accurate real-time data and has a robust network of experienced tax experts.
