The honest brief
Numeric
AI-native month-end close — automating reconciliations, flux analysis, and cash matching (Brex's pilot reported a >90% auto-match rate).
- Unifies close, reporting, and cash workflows
- AI-drafted financial reporting
- Used by finance teams like Brex
- Cuts manual effort for complex teams
- No public pricing (demo-gated)
- Enterprise-leaning
- Narrower than a full ERP
Puzzle
Built ledger-first for AI categorization, so burn and runway update continuously instead of at month-end like retrofitted incumbents.
- Auto-categorizes up to 98% of txns
- Real-time burn and runway
- Syncs Stripe, Mercury, Ramp, Brex
- Startup-focused, narrow segment
- Newer than incumbent accounting tools
- Still needs an accountant for filings
