Suggest double-entry journal entries
Describe a transaction and get a suggested double-entry journal entry — correct debits and credits — as a draft for your bookkeeper to review.
Double-entry bookkeeping trips up everyone who is not an accountant: which account gets debited, which gets credited, and how an unusual transaction like a prepaid expense or a refund must be recorded. Getting it wrong quietly distorts the financials.
This tool turns a plain description of a transaction into a suggested journal entry with the right accounts on the right sides. It is a draft to review, not posted bookkeeping — a way to get unstuck on how to record something, which a qualified person then confirms before it hits the ledger.
