Case Study: Central builds an AI-powered accounting assistant with Puzzle

How Central Built an AI-Powered Accounting Assistant Using Puzzle's Modern APIs

Central, a Y Combinator-backed HR and fintech company, faced a challenge with their vision of an all-in-one back-office solution. Their efforts to build an AI-powered, frictionless bookkeeping experience were constrained by the outdated architecture and limited APIs of legacy software like QuickBooks, which hindered their ability to innovate. They partnered with Puzzle for its modern general ledger and powerful APIs to overcome these limitations.

By implementing Puzzle's developer-friendly APIs, Central built an AI-powered Slackbot that automates transaction categorization and provides real-time financial insights. This solution gave founders a unified platform for payroll, benefits, and accounting, significantly reducing the time spent on bookkeeping and closing the books. The partnership with Puzzle enabled Central to create a seamless, automated back-office experience, freeing their customers to focus on business growth.
