Congrats @sasha_orloff and team on the launch. We've been using Puzzle for a few months and love all the key founder friendly features. It highlights all the metrics startups need upfront and trims out all the painful admin with bookkeeping. Some favorites are the powerful auto-categorization of expenses, the simple email summary of money-in and money-out is extremely helpful, MRR/ARR views, and the multiple views of burn. The burn feature is super valuable for founders and that alone is worth the signup. As background, when I setup the account to test, I DM'd Sasha on Twitter. He replied and setup calls with us and their team to help learn about how we have been using the platform. So not only is it a tool for founders but - Puzzle is practicing what they preach as a startup. 10/10 recommend and I'm hopeful Puzzle can unseat Quickbooks over the next 5 years
@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!!!
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 😅
Great job on the launch @hungryhelen! Does Puzzle also integrate with other payment platforms apart from Stripe? What type of reports and data analysis does Puzzle have? Keep up the great work and congratulations to the entire Puzzle team.
Puzzle makes it simple and easy to track all expenses and categorize automatically! I don't have to worry about accounting anymore, and I can focus on my business instead.
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.
Amazing product that's incredibly easy to set up. Puzzle is the natural next step in the evolution of accounting and ERP software. Highly recommend anyone give it a try. If you're an early startup, it's best to already have these accounting/finance functions in place as soon as you can.
The ability to automatically and instantaneously see key startups metrics is - shockingly - a game changer. Prior to Puzzle, to see this data, founders would likely need to hire an expensive CFO or bookkeeper/accountant and have them report this data - not in real-time - to you. We live in a world that moves much faster. Accurate financial data at your fingertips is a critical component of intelligent founder decision-making.
Puzzle has been a total game-changer for me as a founder. It takes the stress out of dealing with the usual accounting chaos, especially when you're just starting up. I love how intuitive the platform is—you don’t need to be a finance pro to figure things out. The way it simplifies compliance, tax, and reporting feels like a breath of fresh air. It’s like having an accountant who actually understands startups! Definitely recommending it to other early-stage founders I know
