About Puzzle
Puzzle is an AI-native general ledger and accounting platform where AI agents draft transaction categorization, reconciliation, and month-end close for a human to review and approve before anything posts. It's built for startups, SMBs, and accounting firms that want continuously updated books, real-time cash/burn/runway, and both cash and accrual views from one system rather than waiting weeks for a legacy close. Unlike bolting AI onto QuickBooks or Xero, Puzzle builds its own modern ledger and agentic platform together, aiming for up to 98% automated categorization and up to 50% faster closes while you stay in control.
