About this tool
Puzzle connects directly to banking and payment providers such as Stripe, Brex, Ramp, Gusto and Plaid, pulling every transaction into a single ledger. The system evaluates each line item, assigns it to the appropriate account and drafts a journal entry without manual input, streamlining the bookkeeping workflow for growing companies.
In addition to entry creation, Puzzle runs an ongoing reconciliation loop that matches ledger balances against external statements, highlights discrepancies and assembles a concise month‑end checklist. The platform also calculates daily metrics—cash balance, burn rate and runway—so decision makers can act on up‑to‑date numbers rather than waiting for periodic reports.
What you can do
AI‑Based Transaction Classification
An AI agent reviews incoming financial streams, determines the correct ledger account for each line item and automatically generates the corresponding journal entry, reducing the need for manual categorisation.
Continuous Reconciliation Engine
A dedicated AI component continuously compares ledger balances with bank and card statements, resolves mismatches and prepares a short close checklist that users can approve with minimal effort.
Real‑Time Financial Insight Layer
Aggregated data is processed each day to deliver metrics such as cash on hand, burn rate and runway, along with trend analysis that supports budgeting, forecasting and board reporting.
Who is it for?
- A startup founder links Stripe and Brex accounts, allowing Puzzle to auto‑classify every sale and expense while providing a constantly refreshed cash‑flow view, freeing the founder to focus on product development.
- An accounting firm adopts Puzzle for several client ledgers, using its continuous reconciliation to keep each client’s books aligned with bank feeds and to accelerate month‑end close across multiple engagements.
- A CFO monitors daily runway and burn rate through Puzzle’s insight dashboard, enabling rapid adjustments to spending plans and more informed presentations to investors.

Frequently asked questions
How does Puzzle handle transactions that do not fit existing categories?

Puzzle permits separate ledgers for each entity, and its reconciliation and reporting functions can be run independently or consolidated according to the user’s configuration preferences.
What data sources can be linked for automatic import of financial information?
The service integrates with providers such as Stripe, Brex, Ramp, Gusto and Plaid, enabling automatic synchronization of transaction feeds from these platforms into the bookkeeping workflow.
