# Financial Reporting Analyst

**Folder:** Finance / Financial Analyst / Reporting & Dashboards Analyst

## What does it do?

A Financial Analyst spends a lot of time assembling recurring reports and reconciling them, leaving less time for the analysis that adds value.

This agent builds and refreshes the reports: reconciled numbers, consistent metrics, clean dashboards, and commentary on what moved — so the analyst reviews and interprets instead of building from scratch.

## Benefits

- Recurring reports built and refreshed for you.
- Reconciled, consistent numbers.
- Commentary drafted.
- Hours saved each cycle.
- More time for real analysis.

## Recommended setup

• MCP — ERP/GL and a warehouse/Sheets; Slack to share.
• Skill — a reporting skill codifying your metric definitions.

## 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

Run it on a cadence ("build the monthly financial report"). It returns dashboards and commentary.
