What these finance agents are

A full finance function, agentized. These are 42 finance agents for Claude, not one-off prompts. Together they run the finance function end to end: plan the budget, close the books, manage cash and treasury, handle tax, allocate capital, control risk, and produce the reporting that reaches the board.

Each agent is a small, uploadable workflow that teaches Claude to perform one high-value finance task with a repeatable, named method. Run one on its own, run a group for a phase of the cycle, or chain the full set so the work flows from the first forecast to the board pack without living in a pile of spreadsheets. They pair naturally with our ultimate guide to Claude for finance and our institutional-grade Claude skills for finance.

Mechanically, each agent is one folder with a SKILL.md file, grouped by function inside the zip. Install just the ones you need, or load the full set into a Claude Project.

Setup Guide

Step 1

Download the agents pack

Download all 42 agents (.zip)

The zip contains all 42 agents, one folder per agent. Each agent is a single SKILL.md file. Unzip it anywhere. Keep the whole set, or pull out just the folders you need.

Step 2

Create a Claude Project

Go to claude.ai, open the left sidebar, click Projects, then Create Project. Name it something like "Finance Operating Desk" so you can reuse it every cycle.

Claude Projects view with the New project button highlighted
Step 3

Add the agents as Project Knowledge

Inside your project, open Project Knowledge, click Add Content, and upload the .md files. Add as many as you want, one agent, an entire group, or all 42. Claude references them automatically in every conversation inside that project.

Step 4

Run the agents

Open a new conversation inside the project, paste in your data, and name the agent you want Claude to run. Claude reads it from project knowledge and runs the analysis with the method already loaded. Chain several to move from raw actuals to a board-ready pack in one sitting.

Tip

Refer to the agent by name in your prompt. Phrases like "Run the budget-planning agent" or "Use the month-end-close agent" point Claude at the right method instead of leaving it to guess.

Example prompts

  • "Run the variance-analysis agent on this month's actuals and bridge the gap to plan."
  • "Use the liquidity-forecasting agent to build a rolling 13-week cash view."
  • "Run the working-capital agent, then the accounts-receivable agent, to find trapped cash."
  • "Use the board-reporting agent to turn this month's pack into a decision-ready board report."
