Puzzle
Real-time AI accounting for venture-backed startups.
About
Puzzle is AI-native accounting built for startups, maintaining cash and accrual views simultaneously with a claim of up to 98% automated categorization. Founders get live burn, runway, and ARR dashboards fed by Stripe, Mercury, Ramp, Brex, and Gusto — no month-end wait.
Strengths: startup-native metrics, dual-basis accounting, and software plans from $30/month. Limitations: US-startup focus with weaker international support, and the 98% figure is the company's own marketing claim rather than an audited number.
