Abstract: We introduce an associative algebra $A^{infty}(V)$ using infinite matrices with entries in a grading-restricted vertex algebra $V$ such that the associated graded space $Gr(W)=copro{d}_{ninmathbbN}G{r}_n(W)$ of a filtration of a lower-bounded generalized $V$-module $W$ is an $A^{infty}(V)$-module satisfying additional properties (called a graded $A^{infty}(V)$-module). We prove that a lower-bounded generalized $V$-module $W$ is irreducible or completely reducible if and only if the graded $A^{infty}(V)$-module $Gr(W)$ is irreducible or completely reducible, respectively. We also prove that the set of equivalence classes of the lower-bounded generalized $V$-modules are in bijection with the set of the equivalence classes of graded $A^{infty}(V)$-modules. For $NinmathbbN$, there is a subalgebra $A^N(V)$ of $A^{infty}(V)$ such that the subspace $G{r}^N(W)=copro{d}_{n=0}^{N}G{r}_n(W)$ of $Gr(W)$ is an $A^N(V)$-module satisfying additional properties (called a graded $A^N(V)$-module). We prove that $A^N(V)$ are finite dimensional when $V$ is of positive energy (CFT type) and $C_2$-cofinite. We prove that the set of the equivalence classes of lower-bounded generalized $V$-modules is in bijection with the set of the equivalence classes of graded $A^N(V)$-modules. In the case that $V$ is a M"{o}bius vertex algebra and the differences between the real parts of the lowest weights of the irreducible lower-bounded generalized $V$-modules are less than or equal to $NinmathbbN$, we prove that a lower-bounded generalized $V$-module $W$ of finite length is irreducible or completely reducible if and only if the graded $A^N(V)$-module $G{r}^N(W)$ is irreducible or completely reducible, respectively.
