Accounting software you'll actually love

Puzzle provides a faster path to accurate financial statements by combining software, design, machine learning, and LLMs trained for accounting precision. This approach reduces much of the repetitive work traditionally done by humans. Additionally, we offer several key benefits:

Our guided bookkeeping experience helps tackle the “day one” challenge of getting started. Puzzle collects and organizes your financial information, making it easier (and more cost-effective) when you bring in an accountant or bookkeeper for tasks like taxes, fundraising, or M&A.

Accounting at its core is a summary report, of historical data, in accordance with a complicated set of logic called the “generally accepted accounting principles,” or GAAP.  GAAP alters dates, amounts and categories in a specific way that removes a view of actual cash, making it hard to understand the reality of your business.

These solutions, sometimes called “subledgers,” provide transaction data and occasionally offer accounting automation for integration with accounting software. However, they do not generate the financial statements needed for tax compliance, reporting, and decision-making.

Puzzle ingests data from these systems into our general ledger to create the specific reports necessary for taxes, compliance, and fundraising.

Yes! Here are two recommended options:

1. Set up your Puzzle account and invite your accountant or bookkeeper. If you don’t have one, we can refer you to a professional from our network of partner bookkeepers, accountants, and tax experts who match your business model and budget.

2. Opt for self-service setup if you’re a newly incorporated company without an accountant. To save money early on, you can use our self-guided onboarding to maintain a draft version of your financials. We can connect you with an accountant or bookkeeper at any time.
