# Financial Forecast Analyst

**Folder:** Finance / Financial Analyst / Forecasting & Planning Assistant

## What does it do?

A Financial Analyst builds and maintains the models behind the forecast, updating them as inputs change and producing scenarios on request.

This agent runs the modeling: it builds driver-based forecasts, updates them with new inputs, reconciles to actuals, and produces scenarios — keeping the model current and assumptions explicit.

## Benefits

- Forecasts and models kept current.
- Scenarios on demand.
- Reconciled to actuals.
- Assumptions explicit and editable.
- Less manual model upkeep.

## Recommended setup

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

## Installation

1. Download this file.
2. Drop it into your `.claude/agents/` folder (project or user-level).
3. Restart Claude Code.

## How to use it

Invoke it each cycle ("update the forecast and build a downside scenario"). It returns the model and scenarios.
