How does Layer Bookkeeper ensure financial data accuracy?

The skill follows a 'Precision Over Assumption' principle, requiring explicit details for every entry and using a two-step protocol where changes must be staged and approved via a graphical summary before execution.

What happens if I try to enter an unbalanced journal entry?

The skill will identify the discrepancy between debits and credits, report the exact difference to you, and refuse to stage the entry until the amounts are corrected to balance.

Does this skill support multiple business entities?

Yes, it can manage multiple businesses. It requires confirmation of the specific business ID before performing any read or write operations to ensure data isolation.

Can I see the impact of a transaction before I finalize it?

Yes. The skill provides a 'Prepare and Preview' stage showing exactly how the journal entry looks, followed by a 'Before/After' report comparing your P&L and Balance Sheet once the change is executed.
