Why We’re Partnering with Puzzle: Building the Future of Accounting Together

A New Era for Decimal

We’re thrilled to announce Decimal’s partnership with Puzzle, the leading AI-driven accounting and finance platform. With this move, Decimal becomes the largest user of an AI-powered accounting ledger in the U.S.—and possibly the world—with hundreds of clients across various industries already benefiting from Puzzle.

The AI Revolution is Here
The accounting world is at the cusp of a massive transformation. At Decimal, we’ve always believed that innovation isn’t just about keeping up—it’s about leading the charge. In 2024, we made a commitment to seek out the best tools to prepare for the future of accounting. We knew that the cornerstone of that transformation would be an AI-native ledger. When we discovered Puzzle, a platform built to empower accountants instead of competing with them, we knew we’d found a partner who shared our vision.

This partnership is about more than just technology. It’s about a shared belief in what’s possible when great tech companies and great accounting/bookkeeping firms come together. Technology companies should focus on building remarkable products, and accounting firms should focus on delivering extraordinary client experiences. When each does what they do best, the results are nothing short of revolutionary.

Scaling for Excellence
The rise of AI has given us a once-in-a-generation opportunity to reimagine bookkeeping, accounting operations, and tax services. Our partnership with Puzzle reflects our belief that clients deserve more than just good service—they deserve transformative experiences. Puzzle’s AI-powered platform enables us to deliver that, helping us scale excellence across hundreds of clients in a way that was unimaginable before.

This isn’t a small test or an experiment. It’s a full-scale commitment to lead our industry forward. With hundreds of clients already on the Puzzle platform, we’re showing what’s possible when innovation meets ambition - at scale.

From Legacy to Leadership
Our journey to this moment wasn’t without challenges. When we acquired KPMG Spark two years ago, we saw its potential to complement QuickBooks. But we also learned a powerful lesson: the future isn’t built by holding onto legacy tools—it’s built by embracing bold new solutions. Puzzle represents the evolution we’ve been working toward—a platform that delivers on the promise of AI and positions us to grow alongside our clients.

By sunsetting the KPMG Spark ledger and transitioning clients to Puzzle, we’re not just adopting new technology—we’re embracing a future that values partnership, collaboration, and innovation. Puzzle is everything we hoped KPMG Spark could be and more.

A Vision for the Future
As we look ahead, one thing is clear: the future of accounting will be defined by those who dare to innovate. At Decimal, we’re not just adopting AI to improve our own operations. We’re building a playbook for the entire industry. Whether you’re a small firm or a large organization, we want to show you how AI can revolutionize your work, elevate your client relationships, and unlock new levels of growth.

This partnership with Puzzle isn’t just about technology; it’s about a movement. It’s about creating a future where accountants and bookkeepers are empowered to do their best work, unburdened by outdated systems and processes.

Leading Through Collaboration
Great things happen when we work together. Accounting/bookkeeping firms, technology providers, and other service providers don’t exist in silos—we’re part of a larger community. This community thrives when we break down barriers, share knowledge, and push each other to be better. Our partnership with Puzzle is a commitment to that spirit of collaboration.

But we’re not stopping there. We’re determined to help other firms adopt AI responsibly and effectively. We want to work with tech partners to ensure their tools integrate seamlessly into the workflows of accountants everywhere. The more we collaborate, the more we all win—and, most importantly, the more our clients win.

What’s Next
The AI era of accounting isn’t coming—it’s here. Together with Puzzle, we’re building a future where technology and human expertise work hand in hand to deliver extraordinary results. This partnership is just the beginning of what’s possible.

To the accountants, bookkeepers, and firms out there: we invite you to join us on this journey. Let’s create a future where our industry isn’t just keeping pace with change—it’s leading it. Reach out to us at ai@decimal.com if you’re ready to be part of this movement.

The future of accounting is bright. Let’s build it together.
