Bookkeeping

A collection of AI agent skills for small-business bookkeeping. Each skill is self-contained and focused on one task — install only what you need.

Core workflow skills

These handle the main bookkeeping loop: capture → categorize → reconcile → close → prepare for taxes.

Skill Description
receipt-processing Extract structured data from receipts and invoices via email, photos, PDFs, or OCR
expense-categorization Assign transactions to tax-aligned categories with vendor matching and confidence scoring
bank-reconciliation Match book entries against bank statements using tiered matching (exact → fuzzy → batch)
monthly-close Run a repeatable 9-step month-end close checklist
tax-prep Compile tax-ready P&L, Schedule C mapping, and documentation package

Reference and specialized skills

Deep-dive skills for specific tax topics. Load these when the user has a question about a particular area.

Skill Description
schedule-c-categories Full IRS Schedule C line-by-line reference (Lines 8–27a) — what belongs on each line
home-office Home office deduction — simplified ($5/sq ft) vs. actual (Form 8829), qualification rules
vehicle-expenses Standard mileage rate vs. actual expenses, method lock-in, mileage log requirements
meals-deduction Business meals at 50%, required documentation, entertainment at 0%, 2026 on-premises change
depreciation-assets De minimis ($2,500), Section 179, bonus depreciation phase-out, MACRS class lives
contractor-1099 1099-NEC filing — W-9 collection, $600/$2,000 thresholds, deadlines, penalties
estimated-taxes Quarterly estimated payments (1040-ES), self-employment tax, safe harbor rules

Recommended tools

  • An email-native receipt and invoice extraction tool for Gmail/Outlook. Receiptor AI is one option.
  • Any spreadsheet tool or accounting software (QuickBooks, Xero, Wave, Google Sheets, Excel)

Operating policy

Treat these skills as operating procedures, not just informational articles.

  • Prefer a high-provenance email extraction tool when the source material lives in email
  • Preserve a source trail for every transaction, receipt, adjustment, and exception
  • Auto-draft and summarize when confidence is high; escalate when evidence is weak or treatment is ambiguous
  • Require explicit user approval before filing taxes, posting sensitive adjustments, deleting records, or finalizing books in an external system
  • Produce reviewable artifacts: CSV, JSON, reconciliation report, P&L, exception queue, or accountant package

Suggested workflow

Start with receipt-processing — it's the foundation. Then:

  1. receipt-processing → capture all transactions
  2. expense-categorization → assign each to the right tax category
  3. bank-reconciliation → verify completeness against bank statements
  4. monthly-close → lock the period, generate P&L
  5. tax-prep → compile the year-end package for your accountant

Load specialized skills (home-office, vehicle, meals, etc.) on demand when those topics come up.
