The company’s LinkedIn post highlights a partnership with Onshore that is positioned as combining Puzzle’s payroll and financial data structuring with Onshore’s ability to generate audit-ready R&D credit documentation. For investors, this collaboration could enhance Puzzle’s value proposition to early-stage and growth companies by tying core accounting workflows to tangible tax benefits, which may support customer acquisition and retention.
The post also points to an eligibility check process that is described as quick, indicating an effort to lower friction for prospective users evaluating R&D credit potential. If successful, this could expand Puzzle’s addressable market within tech-focused businesses and deepen its integration into clients’ financial operations, potentially strengthening recurring revenue over time.
