Puzzle IO-handleiding
This complete How to Use Puzzle IO tutorial walks you through the whole platform, from your first bank connection to advanced rules.

Puzzel IO
Stop losing hours to repetitive tasks every month. Puzzle IO syncs your bank accounts, categorises transactions, and gives startup founders real time insights into cash burn runway and MRR. Free for companies under $5k in monthly expenses.
Aan de slag met Puzzle IO
Before touching any feature, finish this one-time setup.
Het duurt ongeveer drie minuten.
Here is what my own workspace looked like on day one:

Laten we nu elke stap eens doornemen.
Stap 1: Maak uw account aan
Go to the Puzzle IO website and click Get Started.
Enter your work email, then add your company name and entity type.
✓ Controlepunt: Controleer uw inbox for the confirmation email.
Stap 2: Koppel uw bankrekeningen
Open the Integrations tab and pick your bank, card, and payroll tools.
Puzzle IO pulls historical transactions automatically once the connection is live.
Zo ziet het eruit:

✓ Controlepunt: Your transactions list should populate within a few minutes.
Step 3: Finish Self-Serve Onboarding
Confirm your fiscal start date and pick cash or accrual boekhouding as your default view.
Map your current state honestly here so the books match your existing systems.
The app then drafts your first financial statements.
✅ Klaar: Je bent klaar om een van de onderstaande functies te gebruiken.
Hoe gebruik je Puzzle IO Financial Insights?
Financiële inzichten lets you pull cash burn, runway, MRR, and spending trends into one clean dashboard.
Hieronder leggen we stap voor stap uit hoe je het gebruikt.
Stap 1: Open het Insights-dashboard
Click Insights in the left sidebar of your workspace.
The default view shows revenue insights for the current month.
Step 2: Pick Your Reporting Window
Switch the date selector to last week, last month, or a custom range.
Metrics recalculate direct against live financial data.
Zo ziet het eruit:

✓ Controlepunt: You should see burn runway plotted against your current cash balance.
Step 3: Pin the Metrics You Track
Star cash burn runway, gross margin, and payroll costs so they load first.
✅ Resultaat: A single dashboard that shows your startup’s finances at a glance.
💡 Pro-tip: Check this dashboard every Monday. Ten minutes turns raw numbers into actionable insights and catches spending problems vroeg.
Hoe Puzzle IO Tax Compliance te gebruiken
Belastingnaleving lets you keep your books clean enough to ensure compliance at filing time.
Hieronder leggen we stap voor stap uit hoe je het gebruikt.
Step 1: Open the Compliance Checklist
Head to Close, then open the monthly checklist.
It lists every account you still need to reconcile.
Step 2: Clear Uncategorised Items
Work through flagged rows and assign each one a category and vendor.
Attach receipts directly to the transaction record.
Zo ziet het eruit:

✓ Controlepunt: Every checklist row turns green once the period reconciles.
Stap 3: De periode vergrendelen
Close the month so nobody edits historical financial statements by accident.
✅ Resultaat: Books your accountant can file from without a cleanup project.
💡 Pro-tip: Lock each month within ten days of close. Late edits are the number one cause of restated reports.
Hoe gebruik je de boekhoudservices van Puzzle IO?
Boekhouding Diensten lets you invite a professional bookkeeper into your workspace without hiring one full time.
Hieronder leggen we stap voor stap uit hoe je het gebruikt.
Stap 1: Open de teaminstellingen
Click your company name, then choose Team and Access.
Step 2: Invite Your Bookkeeper
Enter their email and set the accountant role.
They get scoped access to transactions and reports only.
Zo ziet het eruit:

✓ Controlepunt: Your bookkeeper appears in the team list with an accountant badge.
Step 3: Assign Ownership
Use responsibility cards to define who owns reconciliation, payroll, and vendor payments.
✅ Resultaat: Clear accountability for every recurring boekhouding task.
💡 Pro-tip: Give bookkeepers view access to bank accounts but keep payment rights with a founder. It prevents awkward mistakes.
Hoe gebruik je het Puzzle IO-partnerecosysteem?
Partner-ecosysteem lets you connect payroll, billing, and payment tools so data flows in without manual entry.
Hieronder leggen we stap voor stap uit hoe je het gebruikt.
Stap 1: Bekijk de beschikbare integraties
Open the Integrations directory and search by tool name.
Stripe, Gusto, Ramp, and Brex all connect natively.
Step 2: Authorise Each Connection
Sign in through the provider and approve read access.
Historical data backfills automatically.
Zo ziet het eruit:

✓ Controlepunt: Each connected service shows a green sync status and a last sync date.
Step 3: Route Anything Missing Through Automation
Gebruik Zapier or Make to sync tools that lack a native integration.
✅ Resultaat: Your finance stack feeds one platform instead of five spreadsheets.
💡 Pro-tip: Connect billing before payroll. Revenue data makes the first accrual close far easier to review.
Hoe u de automatische opbouw van gegevens in Puzzle IO kunt gebruiken
Opbouw Automatisering lets you see cash and accrual accounting side by side without keeping two sets of books.
Hieronder leggen we stap voor stap uit hoe je het gebruikt.
Step 1: Switch the Accounting Basis
Use the toggle above any report to move between cash and accrual views.
Step 2: Review the Difference
Compare both numbers for the same month to spot timing gaps.
Investors usually ask for the accrual version.
Zo ziet het eruit:

✓ Controlepunt: The same month shows two different revenue totals, as expected.
Step 3: Export for Your Board
Download the accrual profit and loss as a PDF or CSV.
✅ Resultaat: Board-ready reports without a manual rebuild every quarter.
💡 Pro-tip: Send investors accrual reports and run your own weekly cash monitoring on the cash view. Both audiences get what they need.
How to Use Puzzle IO Built-in Automation
Ingebouwde automatische opbouw lets you post prepaids, deferrals, and depreciation without writing journal entries yourself.
Hieronder leggen we stap voor stap uit hoe je het gebruikt.
Step 1: Flag a Prepaid Expense
Open any annual invoice and mark it as a prepaid item.
Step 2: Set the Amortisation Schedule
Enter the service start and end date, then choose monthly spread.
Puzzle books the entries for every future period.
Zo ziet het eruit:

✓ Controlepunt: Future months show the recurring entry already drafted.
Step 3: Review the Generated Entries
Open the journal to confirm the schedule before you close the month.
✅ Resultaat: Annual contracts spread correctly with no spreadsheet tracker.
💡 Pro-tip: Flag prepaids the moment the invoice lands. Retroactive schedules are the fiddliest thing to fix later.
Hoe gebruik je de realtime inzichten van Puzzle IO?
Realtime inzichten lets you check today’s numbers instead of waiting three weeks for a closed month.
Hieronder leggen we stap voor stap uit hoe je het gebruikt.
Step 1: Open the Home Dashboard
Your live cash position sits at the top of the workspace.
Step 2: Drill into Any Number
Click a metric to open the underlying transactions.
You can trace a total down to a single transaction.
Zo ziet het eruit:

✓ Controlepunt: Clicking cash balance opens today’s synced bank feed.
Step 3: Share a Live Link
Send investors a view-only link instead of a stale PDF.
✅ Resultaat: Real time insights you can act on mid-month, not after it.
💡 Pro-tip: Bookmark the drill-down view for your largest expense category. It is where most budget leaks start.
How to Use Puzzle IO Self-guided Onboarding
Self-guided Onboarding lets you get draft financial statements built for you in roughly 15 minutes.
Hieronder leggen we stap voor stap uit hoe je het gebruikt.
Step 1: Start the Guided Flow
New workspaces open the setup wizard by default.
Step 2: Answer the Business Questions
Confirm entity type, fiscal year, and whether you have revenue yet.
The AI uses these details to build your chart of accounts.
Zo ziet het eruit:

✓ Controlepunt: Draft financial statements appear under Reports when the flow finishes.
Step 3: Book a Free Onboarding Call
Complex cap tables or multiple entities? Book the free call from the help menu.
✅ Resultaat: A working set of books on day one instead of week three.
💡 Pro-tip: Do onboarding with your last bank statement open. Matching opening balances now saves an hour later.
Hoe gebruik je Puzzle IO voor slimmer boekhouden?
Slimmer boekhouden lets you teach the AI your rules once so it categorises transactions the way you would.
Hieronder leggen we stap voor stap uit hoe je het gebruikt.
Step 1: Open the Rules Panel
Go to Transactions, then Rules, and click New Rule.
Step 2: Define the Condition
Match on vendor, amount, or description tekst.
Set the category and any note you want applied automatically.
Zo ziet het eruit:

✓ Controlepunt: Matching rows recategorise and the uncategorised count drops.
Step 3: Bulk Apply to History
Run the rule across past transactions to clean up months of backlog at once.
✅ Resultaat: Repetitive tasks handled by rules instead of your Sunday evening.
💡 Pro-tip: Review AI categorisations weekly for the first month. Correcting early builds far better accuracy than a big cleanup.

Veelvoorkomende fouten bij Puzzle IO die je moet vermijden
Mistake #1: Trusting Every AI Category Without Review
❌ Fout: Connecting accounts and assuming the AI classified six months of data correctly.
✅ Rechts: Spend 15 minutes reviewing the first batch, then write rules for anything it got wrong.
Mistake #2: Skipping the Monthly Checklist
❌ Fout: Only opening the app when investors demand reports.
✅ Rechts: Run the checklist monthly so reconciliation stays a 20-minute job.
Mistake #3: Using Only the Cash View
❌ Fout: Rapportage cash numbers to investors who expect accrual accounting.
✅ Rechts: Toggle to accrual before exporting anything that leaves your company.
Probleemoplossing voor Puzzle IO
Problem: Bank Feed Stopped Syncing
Oorzaak: Your bank expired the connection token, which most banks do every 90 days.
Repareren: Open Integrations, click the failing bank, and reauthorise it.
Problem: Transactions Categorised Incorrectly
Oorzaak: The AI matched a vendor name that appears in two different categories.
Repareren: Correct one transaction, then build a rule from it so the fix sticks.
Problem: Reports Show Different Numbers Than Your Bank
Oorzaak: Pending transactions post on a later date than your statement shows.
Repareren: Match your closing balance to the statement date, not to today.
📌 Opmerking: If none of these fix your issue, the help center and customer support team can dig into your workspace.
