The Puzzle problem
Accounting only
Puzzle handles bookkeeping and financial statements. No forecasting, no cap table, no investor tools. Every strategic decision still requires a spreadsheet or another tool.
You still need a CPA
Puzzle is software, not a service. It automates categorization but explicitly says it doesn’t replace a professional accountant. You’re still hiring help for tax, compliance, and review.
No forward-looking tools
Puzzle shows what happened. It doesn’t model what’s next. No scenario planning, no runway projections, no fundraising models. Integrations with third-party FP&A tools mean more data silos.

Model your future, not just record your past
Puzzle gives you real-time dashboards showing burn rate and runway. Useful. But when you need to answer “what happens if I hire two engineers next quarter?” or “how does a $1.5M raise change my runway?” you’re either building spreadsheets or buying another tool. Futureproof puts scenario planning next to your live financial data.
Revenue modeling, hiring plans, capital strategy, and multiple what-if scenarios. All connected to your live bookkeeping data.
Burn rate and runway dashboards. No scenario planning or forward-looking models. Integrates with third-party FP&A tools for forecasting.
Your equity is as critical as your cash flow
Puzzle doesn’t manage your cap table. They integrate with AngelList for investor dashboards, but equity tracking, SAFE conversions, and dilution modeling require separate tools. Futureproof integrates cap table modeling directly with your financials, so you can model dilution scenarios using actual revenue data.
SAFE conversion modeling, equity splits, dilution tracking, and round planning. Connected to your real financial data.
No cap table features. AngelList integration for investor dashboards. Equity management requires Carta or similar, creating data silos.
