Overview

Puzzle is an AI-native accounting platform for startups, SMBs, and the accounting firms that serve them, using AI agents for transaction categorization, reconciliation, and month-end close while keeping accountants in control of final approval before entries post to the ledger. The company has raised over $65M in funding, including a $30M round to expand its AI Close capabilities.

The problem Puzzle solves

Early-stage startups without an in-house accountant, stuck reconciling books once a month after the fact, use Puzzle because it auto-categorizes transactions and drafts real-time cash and accrual statements directly from connected fintech accounts — so founders can see runway and burn without waiting on a bookkeeper.
