Ditch QuickBooks manual work for modern AI accounting

Stop wrestling with outdated software. Get AI-powered accounting that saves 20+ hours monthly and delivers insights that actually help you make decisions.

The problem with QuickBooks

Instead of forcing you into QuickBooks' outdated workflows, Puzzle was designed from the ground up to solve the real problems facing forward-thinking businesses and their accounting partners.

“What used to be simple now needs multiple tools, yet my books still aren't accurate”

QuickBooks' 20-year-old architecture breaks with modern financial tools, forcing costly workarounds and constant price increases.

“I waste hours on manual bookkeeping tasks weekly”

Manual categorization, reconciliation, and data entry that should be automated. Every mistake costs more time to fix.

“I'm flying blind and don't see things until it's too late”

Month-end reporting cycles delay critical business decisions when you need real-time insights to stay competitive.

Puzzle does what Quickbooks can’t — A modern QuickBooks alternative

While QuickBooks traps you in manual workflows, Puzzle delivers automated insights the moment transactions happen.

Those who switched and aren’t going back…

"Puzzle generated my financial statements and insights in 14 clicks. It literally took 2 minutes. My mind was blown compared to QuickBooks."

Dr. Lindsay Padilla,

CEO & cofounder of Hello Audio

"Before Puzzle, we mostly tracked burn via bank statements. We knew this wasn't scalable, but the team needed a more user-friendly solution than QuickBooks."

Ashanti Abdullah,

Founder and CEO of Ternwheel

"We switched from Pilot and Quickbooks, going from a total sh*tshow to simplicity."

Arndt Voges, Co-founder

and CEO, Aircooled Ventures

"Puzzle enabled us to launch bookkeeping as a profitable, high-margin service. We went from onboarding to delivering results within days—unheard of in traditional bookkeeping"

Renato Villanueva,

Founder and CEO of Parallel

“Before I started using Puzzle, figuring out my financials was a chore combing QuickBooks, chatting with my bookkeeper, and working in Excel. Now, I am able to look at a single dashboard and get all the info I need.”

Adam Spector,

Founder & CEO at Levy

“We’ve been using Puzzle for quite some time now, and we love it! Funny enough, we didn't even know how painful accounting could be before we spoke to fellow YC companies that run on Quickbooks"

Tobias Müller,

Co-founder at Flike
