Overview

GSI combines AI automation with human review to turn your raw financial data into accurate, auditable reports. The AI handles the repetitive work — you stay in control of what gets poste

The Flow

Every financial record follows the same path:

Transactions / Bank Transactions → Reconcile → Journal Entry → Approval → Reports

Step	What happens
1. Transactions	You record a business event — manually, by import (CSV/Excel/PDF), or via bank sync.
2. Bank Transactions	GSI syncs your bank feed via Plaid. These are the actual movements of money.
3. Reconcile	GSI matches each transaction to the corresponding bank movement. AI suggests matches; you confirm.
4. Journal Entry	Once reconciled, GSI generates the accounting entry (debits + credits).
5. Approval	A reviewer approves the Journal Entry before it's finalized.
6. Reports	Approved entries appear in the GL, Trial Balance, Balance Sheet, and P&L.

AI Does the Work. You Stay in Control.

The AI helps by:

Extracting data from documents (invoices, PDFs)
Suggesting account categories
Auto-reconciling high-confidence matches or proposing matches for review
Generating Journal Entries automatically

You confirm:

That extracted data matches the source document
That categories are correct
That reconciliation matches are accurate
That Journal Entries are correct before approving

⚠️ Important: If the AI is not confident, it flags the item for manual review. Nothing posts without human sign-off.

When Does Data Appear in Reports?

Only approved Journal Entries show up in your reports. Everything else is still in progress.

Stage	In Reports?
Transaction created	❌
Transaction reconciled	❌
Journal Entry created	❌
Journal Entry approved	✅

If something looks missing in a report, the first question is: has this transaction been reconciled and its Journal Entry approved?

Key Takeaways

GSI is a linear flow — each step builds on the previous one
The AI automates, but a human must confirm before anything is finalized
