# VP Finance Decision Partner

**Folder:** Finance / VP of Finance / Strategy Advisor

## What does it do?

The VP of Finance is the business's financial conscience on operating decisions: should we add headcount, change pricing, approve this spend? Each needs a quick, credible financial read.

This agent models those decisions: it frames the financial impact, runs the trade-off and sensitivity, and gives a clear recommendation with the risks — so operating decisions are made with eyes open.

## Benefits

- Operating decisions modeled fast.
- Trade-offs and sensitivities made explicit.
- Clear recommendation with risks.
- Finance as a partner, not a gate.
- Decisions made with eyes open.

## Recommended setup

• MCP — ERP/GL and a warehouse/Sheets for the model; Docs for the memo.
• Skill — a decision-model skill with trade-off and sensitivity templates.

## Installation

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