# GL Reporting Analyst

**Folder:** Accounting / General Ledger Accountant / Reporting & Dashboards Analyst

## What does it do?

The GL Accountant produces the trial balance and supporting GL reports that feed the financials, and accuracy is everything.

This agent builds it: a tied-out trial balance and account-level reporting, with unusual balances, large swings, and unexpected sign changes flagged — so issues surface before they hit the statements.

## Benefits

- Tied-out trial balance produced fast.
- Unusual balances and swings flagged.
- Account-level reporting ready.
- Issues caught pre-statements.
- Consistent reporting over time.

## Recommended setup

• MCP — ERP/GL and Sheets; Slack to share.
• Skill — a GL-reporting skill with anomaly-flagging logic.

## Installation

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