GATE's AI bookkeeping keeps a Swedish company's books on a real double-entry ledger: your agent books every verifikat on the BAS chart, pairs each payment with its receipt, gets the VAT right and builds the SIE 4 file and the K2 annual report. It never submits anything to Skatteverket or Bolagsverket: you look it over and submit.
Every krona lands on the BAS chart the way an accountant would put it there, and the VAT return, the SIE file and the annual report are built from the same books.
Snap a receipt in the chat, upload a PDF or let your agent collect them from your mailbox. It reads the supplier, date, amount, VAT and country off each one, and paid Stripe invoices can flow in as revenue by themselves.
Each document becomes a verifikat on the BAS chart. The supplier decides the VAT: 25, 12 or 6 percent at home, reverse charge only against a VIES-checked EU VAT number, and foreign currency at the Riksbank rate for the day.
The account comes from how you booked that supplier before. Out of the box, what your agent is sure of books itself, anything less waits for you, and a flagged entry never books on its own.
Drop in your bank statement as a PDF or a CSV export. Each payment is paired with its receipt as soon as both are in, and the payments still missing a receipt are listed for you to chase.
Closing a month checks that every entry is booked and balanced, and works out the VAT return. At year-end you get the SIE 4 file and the K2 annual report. GATE submits nothing: you review and submit.
Everything your agent does goes through the same doors as a person's click, and every entry can be traced back to its receipt.
One setting for the whole ledger. Only what it is highly sure of is ever automatic.
Off: every pairing and entry waits for you. Match: it confirms the receipt pairings it is sure of. Full: it also books the entries it is sure of, and that is where a new company starts. Medium and low always wait for a person.
The server enforces them, whatever the setting says.
Not only the books: the papers, the owners and the deadlines too.
The boxes of your VAT return are computed from the booked entries, reverse charge included, ready for you to submit to Skatteverket.
The SIE 4 file your accountant imports, and a K2 annual report with income statement, balance sheet and notes, checked to balance.
The aktiebok with your group of companies, AGM minutes and dividend decisions as PDFs, and a K10 worked out by the simplification rule.
A checklist built from the rules for a Swedish AB: VAT returns, the annual report, the AGM, the income tax return and K10. Your agent is reminded before each one.
Articles of association, registration certificate, shareholder agreements and minutes, filed per company and versioned, with missing ones flagged.
Share a link and a passphrase, and your accountant sees every receipt and bank line, live, and nothing else.
Three ways to keep the books, side by side.
| What you compare | An accountant | A bookkeeping app | GATE's AI bookkeeping |
|---|---|---|---|
| Who books the receipts | The accountant, from what you send | You, one transaction at a time | Your agent, as a verifikat on the BAS chart, from a photo, a PDF or your mailbox |
| The bank | Reconciled when the accountant gets to it | Often a live bank feed | A PDF or CSV statement you drop in, each payment paired with its receipt within 2 percent or 1 krona |
| VAT and year-end | Prepared and usually filed for you | Reports you put together | The VAT return, SIE 4 and a K2 annual report built from the same books, for you to submit |
| After an entry is booked | Corrected by the accountant | Depends on the app | It can never be changed or deleted: corrections are new, reversing entries |
| What it does not do | Book each receipt the day it arrives | Book for you | Payroll, sending your own invoices or filing with Skatteverket |
How much did we spend on software this year? What's missing for March? Is anything due this month? Your agent answers from the books themselves, not from a guess.
Meet your agentsAI bookkeeping is bookkeeping where software reads the receipts, books them and reconciles the bank, and a person checks the result. In GATE, a company's own agent does that work on a real double-entry ledger on the Swedish BAS 2026 chart, about 388 accounts, and builds the VAT return, the SIE 4 file and the K2 annual report for a person to review and submit.
No. GATE prepares the VAT return, the SIE 4 file, the K2 annual report and a checklist of every deadline a Swedish AB has, but GATE never submits anything to Skatteverket or Bolagsverket. A person reviews each document and submits it, and the company's agent sends a reminder before each deadline, from VAT returns to the AGM and K10.
Yes. Every document becomes a verifikat on the BAS 2026 chart with debit balanced against credit, and booked verifikat are hash-chained in each series. Database rules block changing or deleting a booked verifikat and booking into a locked month, so corrections are new, reversing entries, the way bokföringslagen expects. Locking a month is its own step after closing it.
Only what GATE's agent is highly sure of, and only if the company allows it. The ledger's autopilot has three levels, off, match and full, and a new company starts on full. Even on full, entries with medium or low confidence wait for a person, and a flagged entry never books itself: only high confidence is ever automatic.
A company uploads its bank statement to GATE as a PDF or a CSV export; there is no live bank feed. Each payment is paired with its receipt as soon as both are in, within 2 percent or 1 krona, only an exact amount is settled, and a close amount is shown as a suggestion. Payments still missing a receipt are listed for chasing.
Yes. GATE exports a standard SIE 4 file that an accountant imports into their own system, and a company can share a read-only link with a passphrase that shows the accountant every receipt and bank line, live, and nothing else. The accountant keeps working in their own tools while the company's GATE agent keeps the books current.
In GATE the supplier's country decides the VAT, not the currency. A Swedish supplier gets 25, 12 or 6 percent Swedish VAT, an EU supplier with a VIES-checked VAT number gets reverse charge, and services from outside the EU are reverse charged too. Amounts in other currencies are converted at the Riksbank rate for the day.
No. GATE keeps the books: the receipts and supplier invoices a company gets, its paid Stripe invoices booked as proposed revenue, the bank, the VAT and the year-end, plus the share register and K10. Payroll and sending the company's own invoices are not part of GATE today, so those stay with the company or its accountant.
GATE keeps the books on its servers in Germany and Finland. Bokföringslagen asks a Swedish company to keep its accounting records for seven years, and in GATE a booked verifikat can never be changed or deleted, and a receipt cannot be removed once it is booked, so the record that bokföringslagen asks for stays whole.
