What it does
You give Claude the current period, prior period, and budget figures. Claude flags lines with meaningful variances, digs into the underlying activity, and writes a plain explanation of what drove each change. You get a commentary table plus a short summary for your management reporting.
Who it’s for
A good fit for bookkeepers, finance teams and business owners and writers, coaches and content creators.
Do you need to code?
No. You can use this without writing or editing any code.
How to install
Add it as a skill, or as part of its plugin. This skill also ships inside a plugin, so you can upload just this skill to Claude, or install the whole plugin it comes in. See the step-by-step guide.
Safety note
Needs access to your company's accounting system data.
As with any add-on, only install skills from sources you trust, and read what it does first.
