We switched over from Pilot/Quickbooks (don't sign with Pilot, trust me) to Puzzle, which means going from a total sh*tshow to a world where I actually look forward to doing all my simple startup accounting myself. The team has been incredible.

Love what Puzzle is doing and who they're doing it for (me!). Being a founder is hard enough, let alone having to navigate all the accounting, taxation, compliance, etc. needs as the biz starts and expands. Puzzle gets this exactly right. One thing we know for sure is the future isn't archaic accounting software, because you shouldn't need to master complex workflows & have to hire a team of bookkeepers and accountants just to gain any value from your financials. The future is real-time, automated, and more like a copilot for helping to run the most critical parts of a business. Puzzle is built for that from day one.

Finally, a beautiful accounting software that made organizing, categorizing, and financial planning less of a pain. I used to have a QuickBooks account for each of my businesses. It was clunky, but I didn't know we have better options until Puzzle. My favorite feature is the clear visualization of runway, plus the onboarding support from a startup CPA. He got my questions clarified swiftly. The CX itself made the product worth trying. I have enabled their AI autopilot, which helps flagging new transactions that they haven't seen before, and I can just reply with the category over email. Haven't used that enough to know whether it's useful or gimmicky. I have hopes!

Congrats @sashaorloff and team! Proud to be supporting in a small way. You've been such a champion for founders the last few years -- to that end, can you give the PH community an insight into how you navigated the idea maze with Puzzle early on?

Puzzle is the best! We just left Pilot and Quickbooks and it's been a game changer. Being able to see runway instantly is nothing short of amazing. Also a fellow Luke fan. He has helped a TON with our onboarding. I'm telling everyone I know!

Accounting has been a subject of fear for founders during the entire Quickbooks era. As Stripe and Gusto did to payments and payroll, I expect Puzzle to do the same for Accounting.

There’s a ton to like about Puzzle, but perhaps nothing greater than how it becomes an instant decoder ring for your financials. Founders don’t have to time to learn how to reconcile a cash flow statement to an income statement. Puzzle makes what should be immediately obvious, obvious: “how much cash did I take in, how much went out, and where did it go?” The way we present key financial metrics and the tools we use to assemble them needed a kick in the pants, and Puzzle just delivered.

Former Quickbooks/Pilot customer here. Wish Puzzle had existed back then! Real time reporting/insights with this level of traceability is an absolute game changer for startups. It's been incredible to see how quickly the product has developed over the last couple of years. Big congrats to @sashaorloff and the whole Puzzle team on this broader launch!
