Puzzle

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.

@sasha_orloff and team Puzzle 🧩 is such a power boost for founders - especially those of us commercial founders with non-existent accounting expertise 😅 Nothing makes me happier than seeing revenue roll in - but that would quickly disappear when I'd remember the excess tabs of spreadsheets waiting for me to close books at the end of the month 🤯 The ability to understand my metrics and real-time financial health at a glance - as well as share that with investors, auditors, or our team internally - is quite literally a game-changer. 🚀 Founders, this ones for us!!!

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.

It's ridiculous that we are building toward general AI yet can't even get real time financials - about time this changes. We all know Quickbooks sucks, but unseating them from their throne is another story, and can't think of a better team to do it than Sasha and the Puzzle team. Go team!

Huge congrats to @sashaorloff and the rest of the Puzzle team! Puzzle is a magical product and this is a huge problem space so I'm psyched to see what you build.

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!

Such a smooth experience! Love using Puzzle.

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?

I just started using Puzzle last month and it's really quite good. I'm moving over from Bench. When I expressed interest in Puzzle, Luke Frye, their CX head, reached out and personally answered questions and helped me onboard. Now, I get to see an always up-to-date Runway Run Rate, which in this economy, is quite helpful 😅
