No. Puzzle automates 85-95% of the repetitive tasks performed by your bookkeeper. However, it does not eliminate the necessity of having a professional review your books before submission to the IRS, investors, or other trusted partners. Our guided bookkeeping experience helps you draft solid, actionable financial statements and may lessen the need for an expert early on, but as finances become more complex, professional expertise will still be required.
Puzzle provides accurate real-time data and has a robust network of experienced tax experts.

Yes, through a read-only login Puzzle will import your clients historical financial statements, and trial balance from QuickBooks so you don't start from scratch. We can also help map accounts to a new chart of accounts if needed. This will allow you to retain your historical financial records in Quickbooks format and have comparative financials in Puzzle while cancelling your Quickbooks account (they retain your financials)
Beyond accounting, Puzzle provides variance analysis, metrics on cash runway and burn rate, breakdowns of expenses by type and vendor, and reporting by customer and product line for SaaS companies. This empowers you to provide more strategic advice.
While every case is different, we see two key outcomes from moving from Quickbooks to Puzzle with your clients:
- You can manage more clients at a higher margin, even if you reduce your fees
- Deliver a better client experience with faster more accurate books, plus key insights.
By having both automation and insights in a single solution, you're able to focus on more advisory work rather than data entry, delivering a better client experience at a lower cost, higher margin, with more satisfying work.
