greek-banking-integration_skill

Overview

This skill parses and reconciles bank statements from all major Greek banks (Alpha, NBG, Eurobank, Piraeus) using file imports (CSV/Excel) and local processing. It provides format detection, Greek-specific encoding fixes, VAT-aware categorization, and automated transaction matching for bookkeeping and exports to accounting systems. No bank API credentials are required — you work with exported statement files placed in import directories.

How this skill works

The skill scans configured import directories, auto-detects bank and file formats, fixes Greek character encodings and date/amount formats, and normalizes transactions into a canonical schema. It applies Greek business rules for expense/income categorization, VAT detection, SEPA and card transaction patterns, then runs confidence-scored reconciliation and duplicate detection. Outputs include reconciliation reports and accounting-ready CSV/JSON for QuickBooks/Xero.

When to use it

• You receive exported CSV/Excel statements from Greek bank web portals and need automated parsing.
• You need to reconcile client payments and invoices for Greek companies with VAT rules.
• You want to batch-process multiple bank accounts across Alpha, NBG, Eurobank, and Piraeus.
• You must produce accounting exports compatible with QuickBooks or Xero for Greek chart-of-accounts mapping.
• You require duplicate detection, cashflow analysis, or payment confirmation tracking for Greek operations.

Best practices

• Place raw exports into per-bank import folders (/data/banking/imports/{bank}).
• Run format validation first to fix encoding and date/amount inconsistencies before reconciliation.
• Use auto-detect and test-formats commands on sample files when onboarding a new account.
• Tune confidence-thresholds for invoice matching to balance automation vs manual review.
• Keep a processing workspace with raw, validated, categorized, and reconciled folders for clear audit trails.

Example use cases

• Monthly automated reconciliation for a Greek SME with multiple bank accounts and recurring supplier payments.
• Matching incoming client transfers to outstanding invoices using reference and fuzzy client-name matching.
• Preparing accounting exports (CSV/JSON) for QuickBooks or Xero with Greek VAT codes and chart-of-accounts mapping.
• Detecting duplicate charges and flagging suspicious transactions across accounts (same-day same-amount).
• Running periodic cashflow analysis and fee optimization reports for bank charges and SEPA fees.
