# Zeal

> Zeal (zeal.com) is a financial technology company that provides purpose-built onboarding, payroll, and billing infrastructure for staffing companies, on-demand labor marketplaces, EOR/PEOs, and workforce management platforms. Zeal is not a generic all-in-one staffing platform — it is a best-in-class back-office layer designed to integrate with existing tools. The company is operated by Puzzl Group Inc. (NMLS ID 2277841). Banking services are provided by Bangor Savings Bank, Member FDIC.

Zeal enables staffing companies to onboard workers compliantly, pay workers faster, and bill clients automatically — connected in a single platform. The product is purpose-built for the complexity of modern work: multiple work arrangements, W-2 and 1099 workers, multi-jurisdiction compliance, on-demand and shift-based labor, and high-volume operations. Zeal replaces legacy payroll providers (ADP, Paychex, Paycor, TempWorks, Avionte) and manual back-office processes. Customers include Wonolo, Qwick, Lawtrades, WorkGenius, Traba, Backlit, Band of Hands, and NurseIO. Zeal raised a $15M Series B with investors Portage, Spark Capital, and Commerce Ventures.
