href=\"https:\/\/www.fahimai.com\/best-accounting-software\" title=\"accounting software\" data-wpil-keyword-link=\"linked\" data-wpil-monitor-id=\"36331\">accounting software<\/a>?<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Puzzle IO is an AI-powered accounting platform built for startups and small businesses. It automates 85-95% of bookkeeping tasks like transaction categorization, reconciliation, and accrual accounting. The platform connects to modern fintech tools like Stripe, Mercury, Ramp, and Brex for real-time financial data.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p style=\"margin-top:25px;margin-bottom:10px;font-size:25px;font-weight:600\">Is Puzzle IO a good site?<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Puzzle IO is highly rated by startup founders for its clean interface and powerful automation. It has a 5.0 rating on Product Hunt based on 33 reviews. The platform has raised $66.5M in funding from investors like General Catalyst and Felicis Ventures, showing strong market confidence.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p style=\"margin-top:25px;margin-bottom:10px;font-size:25px;font-weight:600\">Is Puzzle an ERP?<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>No, Puzzle IO is not a full ERP system. It is an AI-native accounting platform that gives startups ERP-style visibility without the complexity. For companies needing full ERP features like multi-entity consolidation and advanced procurement, tools like NetSuite or Campfire may be better suited.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p style=\"margin-top:25px;margin-bottom:10px;font-size:25px;font-weight:600\">Can you use AI to solve puzzles?<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Puzzle IO uses AI to solve accounting challenges, not traditional puzzles. Its AI Categorizer processes over 95% of transactions automatically. The AI Lookup feature lets you ask accounting questions in plain English and get category suggestions based on context.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p style=\"margin-top:25px;margin-bottom:10px;font-size:25px;font-weight:600\">Who is the CEO of Puzzle IO?<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Sasha Orloff is the CEO and co-founder of Puzzle IO. He co-founded the company in 2019 along with John Cwikla.
