Get debit and credit entries from a description

Not sure which side gets the debit? Describe the transaction and get the debit and credit lines laid out correctly, with accounts named.

The single most confusing rule in bookkeeping is which side a transaction goes on — debits increase some accounts and decrease others, and the mnemonic never quite covers the case in front of you.

This tool removes the uncertainty: describe the transaction and it lays out the debit and credit lines with the correct accounts and amounts, balanced. You get a clear, balanced entry to review, so a moment of doubt does not turn into a recurring error in your books.

Yes — total debits equal total credits in the draft, as proper double-entry requires.

Should I still review it? +

Yes. It is a draft to verify; confirm the account choices with a professional before posting.
