# Finance Director Forecast Lead

**Folder:** Finance / Finance Director / Forecasting & Planning Assistant

## What does it do?

The Finance Director builds the budget and keeps the forecast current with input from business partners whose numbers shift constantly.

This agent runs the model: it builds driver-based forecasts, incorporates partner inputs, reconciles changes, and runs scenarios — keeping the plan current and the assumptions explicit.

## Benefits

- Driver-based forecast kept current.
- Partner inputs incorporated and reconciled.
- Scenarios on demand.
- Assumptions explicit and editable.
- Less manual model upkeep.

## Recommended setup

• MCP — ERP/GL and a warehouse/Sheets; Slack for input collection.
• Skill — a planning skill with a driver-based model.

## Installation

2. Drop it into your `.claude/agents/` folder (project or user-level).

## How to use it

Invoke it each cycle ("update the forecast with the latest department inputs and run scenarios"). It returns the refreshed forecast and scenarios.
