Accounting Assistant
Bookkeeping falls behind because every transaction has to be read, coded to the right account, and checked against what came before — by hand. This assistant takes each transaction as it lands, assigns the correct category, extracts the vendor and amount, and flags duplicates, missing receipts, and unusual charges. Your books stay current and audit-ready, with every entry traced back to its source line.

How it works
- A transaction lands from any channel — a bank or card feed, an emailed receipt, or a manual entry — into one place.
- The assistant reads it, identifies the vendor and amount, and assigns the correct account category.
- It checks each entry against recent activity — flagging duplicates, missing receipts, and amounts that look off.
- Every transaction is filed as one clean, coded row for your review before it posts to the books.
Key benefits
- Close the books faster, with coding done as transactions arrive

- Apply one consistent chart of accounts across every entry
- Trace every coded entry back to its source transaction

Frequently asked questions
How does the Accounting Assistant code transactions?
It reads each transaction, identifies the vendor and amount, and assigns the correct account category from your chart of accounts automatically.
Does it connect to my bank or credit card?
No, it works on transactions you bring into your Gaia workspace — from a bank feed, emailed receipt, or manual entry — and keeps everything inside.
Can it send messages or post entries automatically?
No, it only drafts and flags entries; you review and approve every coded row before anything posts to your books.
What does it flag as suspicious?
It flags duplicates, missing receipts, and unusual amounts, so you catch issues before they reach the ledger.
Do I need to write any code to use it?
No, it's a no-code template — just add your transactions and the assistant handles the coding and flagging.
